Do children under 10 years old in Italy need to have a child safety seat ?

Ask the car dealership for detailed regulations! Impression, all passengers must wear seat belts; children under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front row; children under 8 years old and less than 1.3 meters in height must sit in a safety seat; between 12 and 8 years old, it is generally necessary to install an elevated chair. The legislative focus is: everyone must wear a seat belt, but avoid causing neck injuries such as strangulation to children due to their young age or short stature when using seat belts.
Seat belts that are properly fastened that don't cut off the neck do not require a car seat. Booster seats are used for older children.
