From 2010, ‘baby seats’ will be compulsory in cars
In a bid to make Indian roads more child friendly, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has decided to make “baby seats” compulsory for all passenger cars from 2010.
“This is a long pending step and will be introduced in Indian vehicles for the first time. The idea is to create a safe and designated space for children in cars. Across Europe and USA, besides other countries like Australia, ‘Child Restraint Systems’ (CRS) is mandatory in all vehicles. So the ministry has decided it’s time for such an initiative to be taken in India as well,” said a top official.
“The planned implentation schedule is two years for new car models and three years for existing models. This will also be introduced for commercial goods vehicles and passenger buses,” he added.
