Child restraint system to take educational approach

The enforcement of the Child Restraint System or use of child safety seats for all private cars, effective Jan 1 next year, will take an educational approach and not punish those who fail to comply with it, according to Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Kamarudin Jaffar.

“We are aware that families with lots of children will find it hard to fit four or five seats in the car. So large families which cannot install as many child seats as the number of children they have will be exempted. There will be flexibility in the implementation,” he said in an oral question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today.

Responding to Cha’s original question about the government’s justification for requiring all children below the height limit of 135cm to use the safety seat, Kamarudin said the seat was designed specifically to provide protection to children as they have a body that is still in the growing stage with the bone structure still not developed.
