The royal father and son arrived together for Queen Elizabeth's annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace
at Buckingham Palace. But because the 6-year-old was sitting in the front seat beside William in the car, many were left wondering if it was legal., children from 3 years to 4’5” tall who are under 12 years — which would include George — must “use an appropriate child restraint when traveling in front seat.” George was reportedly in a booster seat.
The country’s laws also state that children of the same age that are seated in the backseat must also be put in a child-restrained seat, if seat belts are fitted. Once a child is more than 4’5”, they must then use a seat belt, although the U.K prefers them to use a booster seat until they reach 5′.
However, there are several exceptions to these rules. Should an appropriate child restraint not be available, children over 3 years old can travel in the rear using an adult seatbelt. This exception is for emergencies and unplanned situations only. If a child between 3 years and 4’5” tall is traveling in a licensed taxi, such as a private hire vehicles or minicabs, they must sit in the rear and wear a seatbelt. Children younger than 3 must sit in the rear with an adult seatbelt should a child restraint not be available.
