A MOTHER was arrested after a six-year-old child was seen sitting in a front passenger seat allegedly without a child seat or booster seat.
The 28-year-old mum’s vehicle also had no MoT when stopped on Great Western Road, Knightswood, on May 22 at 3pm, it is said.
Police Scotland’s guidelines state: “Children under three must be in an appropriate child restraint in the front and back. If there are no seatbelts in the vehicle to which a restraint can be fixed, the child cannot travel in the vehicle.
“Children aged 11 and younger, or under 135cm in height (4ft 5in) must use an appropriate child restraint in the front of the vehicle. They cannot just use the seatbelt. If there is a seatbelt in the back, to which a restraint can be fixed, the child must use an appropriate restraint. Rear-facing child seats can’t be used on seats where a front airbag is fitted
“Children aged 12 and 13, or younger children over 135cm in height must wear a seatbelt in the front and back of the vehicle, if fitted.”
