Agenda item 7 Child restraint requirements Many historic vehicles were manufactured with seat belts fitted in the front passenger seats, but not the rear passenger seats. Rod Graydon enquired about child restraint requirements for children under the age of seven in such vehicles. Andrew Mahon confirmed that children under the age of seven cannot be seated in the front passenger seat of vehicles that have two or more rows of seats. However, if it is possible to fit anchor points to the back seat of the vehicle, seatbelts and child restraints may be fitted and used. Andrew also advised that restraints must be installed in the vehicle in the correct way, as shown by the manufacturer. Further information about child restraints is available at Agenda item 8 General business List of upcoming car club events for TMR consideration Chris Malone distributed a list of upcoming car club events for TMR to consider participation in.
