By law, you must wear a seat belt in cars and goods vehicles where one is fitted.
According to gov.uk, You can be fined up to £500 if a child under 14 isn’t in the correct car seat or wearing a seat belt while you’re driving.
The law states that you must make sure that any children in the vehicle you’re driving are; in the correct car seat for their height or weight until they reach 135 centimetres tall or their 12th birthday and wearing a seat belt if they’re 12 or 13 years old, or younger and over 135cm tall.
