CHILD SEAT REQUIREMENTS IN EUROPE

Regulations and seat fittings in Europe for child seats and restraints differ from those in Australia. 

The European regulation and mounting system is known as ISOFIX and the seats in Australia do not have ISOFIX mountings on them and will therefore not be acceptable for the European regulations and vehicles. 

You will need to choose a seat according to the child’s age and  weight.

A range of child seats are available for purchase as accessories from  Renault ,Citroen and Peugeot - Please ask for details and pricing.

Accessories must be requested at time of booking.  Accessories are purchased not hired. No Refunds or buy-back available on return of vehicle.

France: Children under 10 years of age are not allowed to travel in the front seat of a car unless they are a baby, that is 9 months old or under and weigh less than 9kg, but they must be in an appropriate baby seat (rear facing) unless there is an airbag fitted, when they are not allowed on the front seat at all. In the rear seats all children under 10 must be in the right restraint, if their weight is between 9 and 15kg a child seat and over 15 kg's a booster type seat. 
Germany: Children under 12 and under 1.5m in height must use an appropriate child restraint, e.g. a child seat or booster seat while in the front or rear of a car. Do not use rearward facing seats in front seats equipped with air-bags. Children may travel in the rear seats without restraints if all the others are in use & no restraint is available. Children must not sit in the front seat without the right child seat. 
Spain: Children aged 3 or under must use a suitable Child Seat, and children up to 12 must use one.  It is illegal for Children under 3 to sit in the front or rear seats without the proper child seat. Kids between 4 and 12 cannot be a passenger unless they are using a suitable safety restraint seat or an adaptor for a seat belt.
