Passenger transport vehicles are exempt from being equipped with child safety devices.

Passenger transport business vehicles will be exempted from using appropriate child safety equipment, to ensure feasibility and to suit practical traffic conditions in Vietnam.

On December 2, the Traffic Police Department said that regarding Clause 3, Article 10 of the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety, which stipulates the use of safety equipment for children under 10 years old and under 1.35 meters tall when sitting in a car, in the latest draft of the Law on Amending and Supplementing a Number of Articles of 10 Laws Related to Security and Order, after receiving comments from National Assembly Deputies, the Government has amended as follows: "When transporting children under 10 years old and under 1.35 meters tall in a car, children must not sit in the same row of seats as the driver, except for cars with only one row of seats; the driver must use and instruct on the use of appropriate safety equipment for children, except for cars used for passenger transport business." Thus, the above regulation will exempt passenger transport vehicles from having to use appropriate safety equipment for children, to ensure feasibility and to be suitable for practical traffic conditions in Vietnam.

Child seats and cushions are required to be installed in non-commercial vehicles.

Child safety devices are devices that are capable of ensuring the safety of children in a sitting or lying position in a car, designed to reduce the risk of injury to the user in the event of a collision or sudden deceleration of the car by limiting the movement of the child's body, including: seat systems, cradles, booster cushions... with seat belts to secure children and devices attached to the car. The Law on Amendments and Supplements to a Number of Articles of 10 Laws Related to Security and Order is being submitted to the 15th National Assembly, 10th Session for approval and will take effect from January 1, 2026.
