Hi mommies,
I send an email to Traffic police and receive below reply:
Q) I have 2 babies age 5 months and 21 months.
My car do not have amper space to accommodate 2 baby seat and 3 adults
(Excluded driver). What should I do?
A)A child below 8 years of age is required to be properly secured by an
approved child restraint appropriate for a child of that height and
weight, if a seatbelt is available for usage. Any driver who fails to
comply with the rule commits an offence which entails a composition amount
of S$120/- and 3 demerit points.
If you have 2 infants or toddlers travelling in a car, all of them must
still be belted up in child seats suitable for them.
Traffic Police believes that the safety of all drivers and passengers is
of utmost importance. Hence, we strongly advise all drivers and
passengers to abide by our rules. In addition, all parents should take it
upon themselves to ensure that only approved child restraints that are
suitable for their children are used. In collisions occurring at a speed
of 50 kmph, an unsecured 7 kg baby can be violently flung against the
dashboard or through the windscreen. This can happen even if an adult
wearing a seat belt holds him. Therefore, child safety seats should be
used to protect all children who are travelling in cars. The baby could
also be flung against other passengers, resulting in serious injury or
even death.
Nonetheless, you may wish to note that number of passengers carried on a
motor vehicle shall not exceed its licensed seating capacity. This is
provided by Section 47 of the Road Traffic (Motor Vehicle, Registration
and Licensing) Rules Chapter 276, Rule 5. In calculating the seating
capacity of any motor vehicle, the driver’s seat shall be excluded.
Seem like they take infant/tobble as 1 pax. SO car cannot have 2 infant , 3 adults exclude driver lor. No wonder singapore don have family with many children nowaday.
