What is the law with children travelling in the back of classic cars without seat belts?
Can you please tell me the law on children travelling in the backseats of a classic convertible without seat belts?

If your vehicle doesn’t have seat belts, you aren’t allowed to carry any children under 3 years old in it. Children over 3 are only allowed to sit in the back seats. These rules only apply if your vehicle was originally made without seat belts.
