The taxi has arrived, but there is no child seat.

The article discusses the legal requirements for transporting children by taxi drivers in Croatia, emphasizing that drivers are legally obligated to ensure proper child restraints. According to the Croatian Road Safety Act, children under 150 cm must be secured in appropriate safety seats or properly fastened with seat belts. Exceptions exist for children between 135 and 150 cm, who can ride without a special seat but must be securely fastened. The article clarifies that parental consent does not absolve the driver of responsibility, and drivers can refuse service if they cannot comply with safety regulations. It warns against common misconceptions, such as holding a child in one’s arms during travel, which can be dangerous in emergencies. The piece highlights situations where this issue commonly arises, like at airports or after late-night events, and advises parents to specify their child’s needs when booking a taxi.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the legal framework and safety guidelines objectively, without overtly favoring any political stance. It explains the law and its implications neutrally, focusing on compliance and safety rather than taking a partisan position. While the topic relates to public policy and safety
