Driving the Grandchildren: Child Car Seat Rules Made Simple

About Course

Child car seat rules have changed since many of us were raising our own children. If you drive grandchildren, it is your responsibility to make sure they are in the right seat or seat belt. Learn the current UK rules, how to choose and fit a seat, the exceptions, and the airbag rule for rear-facing seats.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course is a general refresher for experienced drivers based on official guidance. It is not a substitute for the Highway Code, your vehicle handbook or professional driver training.
