Jan NettigGuide to Choosing and Installing a Car Seat in Czechia
Ensuring the safety of young children while traveling is paramount, and one of the most critical aspects is selecting and fitting the right car seat. A video tutorial by Autoškola King provides a comprehensive guide on how to correctly choose and install a car seat in the Czech Republic. The video is in Czech but comes with English subtitles for clarity.
Pavel Greiner, the owner of Autoškola King, emphasizes that children under 150 cm in height and weighing less than 36 kg must use a car seat or a booster seat for safe transportation. For parents unsure about the appropriate car seat, Greiner suggests checking the seat’s rear for a label indicating its weight guidelines.
Interestingly, in Czechia, children can occupy any car seat, barring the driver’s seat. For infants using an ‘egg-style’ seat (known as ‘vajíčko’ in Czech) in the car’s front, the seat should face the car’s rear, and the airbag must be deactivated. For older children, the seat should face forward, and the airbag should be active. If three children are being transported and three car seats cannot fit, children above three years can sit in the middle using a seat belt.
For those keen on understanding the nuances of driving in Czechia, Autoškola KING, an English-friendly driving school established in 2007 by Bc. Pavel Greiner, offers professional training with a focus on English communication and training on automatic vehicles.
