With the implementation of the Republic Act 11229 or Child Safety in Motor Vehicles Act, car seats for kids will then be required for those 12 years old and below, with the said age group also prohibited from occupying the front passenger seat.
Despite its immediate implementation, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) along with its deputized law enforcement agencies won’t be issuing traffic citation tickets to those who will fail to comply with this requirement. Instead, from 2 to 6 months, the authorities would first embark on a massive information drive, therefore, ensuring the smooth enforcement of this law.
Apart from that, this should also give motorists the allotted time to acquire the much-needed car seats for the young ones. The law states that a child must be secured in a restraint system unless he or she is at least 4.92 ft. tall and can properly be fastened on a standard seatbelt.
