SimonTan 2nd Gear December 23, 2011 Share December 23, 2011 There are three options given Child restraints Or Booster seats cushions Or Adjustable seat belts. According to the police age is no longer the criteria, height is. I assume a child restraints are those mini seats with full back rest type. And booster seats cushions are just the backside bottom seat. Two questions. So I want to know what is adjustable seat belts? Can a sofa square cushion considered as booster seats cushion? Or must buy some approved booster seats? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear December 23, 2011 Author Share December 23, 2011 New seatbelt laws from Jan 1 SINGAPORE - From Jan 1, anyone below the height of 1.35m will have to be secured with a child restraint when they are riding as a passenger in a vehicle. The new seatbelt law, which enforces a height rather than age limit, was announced today by the police. Currently, only children below the age of eight have to be secured with a child restraint. Under the new law, children on small school buses will also have to be secured with the proper restraints or seat belts. Furthermore, passengers who are below 1.35m in height will not be allowed to sit in the front seat of taxis. In a press statement issued today, the police also announced that motorcycle learner riders will have to pass two theory tests instead of one from Feb 27, 2012.

Ken1898 1st Gear December 23, 2011 Share December 23, 2011 When is the correct age for baby to use booster seat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear December 23, 2011 Author Share December 23, 2011 That's will have to depends on the parents I guess to decide when to let the baby upgrade to booster seats, instead of baby seats. I am assuming child restraints are baby seats?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear December 23, 2011 Author Share December 23, 2011 I see lots of loopholes. Booster seats cushion are not clearly defined! Also what is adjustable seat belts? A special new installation? Or just some triangle piece attached to the seat belt, to prevent the seat belt from 'cutting' the smaller child neck?

Watwheels Supersonic December 24, 2011 Share December 24, 2011 (edited) And does this law applies to public transport like buses? No? So the so called safety has double standards one hor? What's next? Oh yeah, a FT woman recently hit her head when the bus suddenly jam brake and she is in critical condition. So buses got to install seat belts also lah? Also mean must increase fare to install the seat belts lah? So I see....go one big loop just to increase fare.
