How is each child over two and under twelve years old computed regarding seating capacity in a passenger car?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that they count as one full seat. The old regulation that allowed children between 2 and 12 years old to count as half a seat was abolished years ago for road safety reasons. Currently, any occupant, regardless of age, height, or weight, counts as one legal seat in the vehicle. You must never exceed the number of approved seats listed on the vehicle's registration card, and each child must have their own seatbelt and appropriate Child Restraint System (CRS).
