New laws for child seats in cars come into effect today (1st Nov 2013), but police will be taking a discretionary approach while parents get to grips with the rules.

From today, the mandatory use of child restraints in vehicles will be extended by two years, requiring all children to be correctly secured in an approved restraint until their seventh birthday.

If an approved restraint is available in the vehicle, it must be used until children turn 8.

Approved child restraints include baby capsules, car seats and booster seats.

A police national headquarters spokesman said the rules would help to keep more children safe on the road.

"Staff will be using their discretion while the new law is introduced, with a strong focus on education.

"However, there will be no tolerance for people who put children's lives at risk by wilfully ignoring the law or failing to restrain a child where restraints are available."

New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) road safety director Ernst Zollner said child restraints used in New Zealand must display standards markings to show they are approved and safe to be used.

想确认一下，是否强制性的使用Car Seat是小孩在7岁以前？7岁以后是否就可以直接用车上的安全带了？
那148厘米的要求又是什么呢？
请清楚的人帮忙答疑一下下。谢谢！
