Default Child Booster seat advice.

What's the law on these?

Just started seeing a lass that has a 10 year old and an 8 year old. Wanting to take them to the Cinema this weekend, but don't know the law regarding if they need a booster seat or not.

At their age do they need one? What is the punishment regarding fine/points if caught?

What is the average price of a booster seat? and where is the best place to buy if I need to?

Not sure on the penalties. Just use duct tape, should hold them in a treat
Sorry, no actual decent advice.

Duct tape????? That sounds good advice to me.

Only I'd tape their gobs up instead.

Spelling on Advice duly noted and changed. Thank you Mr. Smart@rse

Best bet is to pop into Mothercare and ask them. They'll know if they need booster seats or not.

I'd not worry about the Old Bill will do if they catch you, I'd be more worried about what would happen if there's an accident!

Thanks

I'll buy a couple Booster cushions. Although I'll tell them I'm buying full Child seats just to embarrass them.

Have I ever told anyone on here that I don't like kids much.

That did cross my mind TBH. I don't think i'd have taken the risk anyway. Making them walk the 25 miles home is much safer.
