LTO Law Enforcement Service Acting Director, lawyer Clarence Guinto made this remark during a DZMM interview wherein the radio anchor asked him what the proper recourse would be if child restraints make the car too cramped for big or tall children.
“Kung 12-years-old sobrang tangkad, lalagyan ng booster (CRS) tatama ulo sa kotse, hindi ba delikado? (If there’s very tall 12-year-old and you place a booster under his seat, wouldn’t that be dangerous because his head will hit the roof of the car)?” asked anchor Amy Perez, who is a mother.
“Tama po yun. Siguro laki-lakihan mo yung sasakyan mo (That’s correct. You should use a bigger car),” Guinto said.
