Car safety regulations welcomed by Norwich Union Car Insurance

Rules on child and baby seats in vehicles have been tightened by the government and Norwich Union Car Insurance has said the move demonstrates that the right approach is being taken.

The recently introduced regulations stipulate that under-threes use the appropriate booster seat for their age and children up to the age of 12 must use an appropriate restraint as seat belts are not considered safe for people under 150cm in height.

Another new ruling makes it illegal for babies to be sat facing the rear of a vehicle when that seat is fitted with an airbag.

Andy Boyd, product development manager at Norwich Union, said: "These measures will further protect children travelling in all vehicles and represents an appropriate tightening of the existing rules."

"As a leading provider of motor insurance we think the government is taking the right approach on this issue," she added.

A survey by the Transport Research Laboratory in 2004 revealed that five per cent of children up to the age of four were not restrained in any way in the rear of cars.
