On June 1, 2021, the newly revised Law on the Protection of Minors will come into effect, introducing new regulations regarding traffic safety for minors. Among them, the use of child safety seats was included for the first time in national legislation. The newly revised Law on the Protection of Minors was passed in October 2020 and will come into effect officially on June 1 this year. Article 18 specifies that \"the parents or other guardians of minors shall provide a safe home environment for them, and take measures such as installing child safety seats and educating minors to abide by traffic rules, in order to prevent them from being injured in traffic accidents.\" Article 18 of the Law on the Protection of Minors uses the word “shall” with regard to the use of child safety seats, which carries corresponding legal binding force and fundamentally resolves the issue of legal basis. This lays a solid legal foundation for preventing traffic injuries among minors, provides a legal basis for the safety of children while in vehicles, and makes child safety seats an essential requirement for children traveling by car.
