Child Seat Law Includes 5 Crucial Rules Drivers Must Follow to Avoid Heavy and Unforgiving Fines in 2024.
The child seat law is back in the spotlight, bringing a series of warnings that every driver needs to know to avoid the trap of a fine that, in 2024, promises to be harsher than ever. Following guidelines from Contran, anyone transporting children in their car must be extra careful and adhere to the rules strictly.
If you are a driver in Brazil, you know that traffic here is full of rules, and many of them can catch off guard those who aren’t paying attention. The child seat law is one of those regulations that leaves no room for error. Since April 2021, changes have come with full force, and now in 2024, the clamp has tightened even more, with 5 warnings that everyone who drives needs to understand to avoid a fine that hits the wallet.
Contran Warns About the Difference in Safety Devices
The first warning from Contran is about choosing the safety device. They left no room for doubt: if you carry children under 10 years old or less than 1.45 meters tall, it is mandatory to use the correct equipment, according to the child’s age and weight. A mistake here guarantees a fine. Let’s break down the details:
-
OMODA & JAECOO grows in Europe in 2026 with an integrated strategy of sales, innovation, local production, and technological advancement in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain.
-
OMODA & JAECOO expands after-sales service in Brazil with competitive maintenance, a 7-year warranty, and high availability of parts for technological SUVs.
-
OMODA & JAECOO appoints Alessandra Souza as executive marketing director in Brazil and accelerates brand expansion with a focus on innovation, networking, and hybrid portfolio.
-
Jaecoo 7 with super hybrid SHS system exceeds 1,200 km of combined range with a 1.5 turbo engine, high-density battery, and intelligent energy management.
Infant Seat: mandatory for little ones from zero to 1 year old, or up to 13 kg. If you have a baby in this category, there’s no escape; they need to be secure in this device.
Child Seat: children from 1 to 4 years old, or weighing between 9 and 18 kg, must use the child seat. It’s no use trying to improvise; the child seat law is clear, and any slip-up can result in a fine.

Booster Seat: recommended for children over 4 years old up to 7 and a half years old, or who have not yet reached 1.45 meters in height. This is one of the points that often catches unsuspecting drivers.
Seat Belt: finally, children between 7 and a half and 10 years old, or who are over 1.45 meters tall, can use the car’s seat belt, but don’t forget: it must be properly adjusted.
Child Seat Law Exempts Taxi and Rideshare Drivers
Now, an important detail: taxi drivers and rideshare drivers have an exception. Under the child seat law, they are not required to use these devices in their vehicles, as they fall under the category of collective and rental transport. So, if you are a rideshare driver, you can breathe easy, but remember, for others, the fine is unforgiving.
These are the rules of the child seat law that are already in effect. If you let your guard down, besides putting children’s safety at risk, you also run the risk of receiving a fine that will weigh on your budget. Therefore, fstay alert and follow Contran’s warnings to ensure your trip is safe and free from unpleasant surprises.
What do you think of these new rules of the child seat law? Have you had any experience with this kind of fine?
Falaram aí de “segurança” para as crianças… Mas num táxi ou carro alugado a criança está segura sem o equipamento? Não acontecem acidentes com esses veículos não? Nunca entendi isso!
E em caso de criança viajar de caminhão com os pais
