    Can anyone tell me the legal requirements regarding children travelling in cars in Turkey?
    For instance, when we come in May, does our 4 year old need a child seat?

    well.. here is something US embassy has to say on the subject

    DEFENSIVE MEASURES

    *Always wear seat belts. They can reduce injuries and save lives.
    *Children should ride in the back seat with seat belts on and/or in a child safety seat.
    * Drive defensively, defensively, defensively.
    *Dusk is a particularly dangerous time on intercity highways because most drivers delay turning on their headlights until well after dark. Oncoming traffic can be very difficult to see.
    *Situational awareness is imperative.
    *Use horn to alert pedestrians.
    *Use horn and lights to alert other drivers.
    *Pay attention when other drivers use their horns.
    *Check all mirrors, particularly the right side mirror, and use directional signals when changing lanes.
    * Confirm with direct visual check. Do not rely solely on mirrors.
    Use four-way flashers to warn other drivers of slowed/blocked traffic to avoid being hit from behind.
    *Expect the unexpected.
    *Drive each day as though you were on a mission, the goal of which is not to be involved in an accident, cause an accident, or strike a pedestrian.
    *Watch out for trucks and buses that take the right-of-way without signaling, whether they are entitled to it or not.
    *Keep lights, signals, horn and brakes in proper working order.
    * Be extremely attentive and situationally aware during rain and snowstorms. Accidents increase dramatically during storms, particularly at night.
    *Assume nothing. Make no assumptions about what another driver may do or how they will react in a situation.
    *If confronted by another driver, stay in your car, lock the doors, and use your cell phone to call the police.
    *The maximum speed limit on the highway is 90 KM/hr; on the TEM and similar interstate-type highways, 120 KM/hr; and the maximum speed limit in the city is 50 KM/hr. Please note that all speed limit signs are posted in kilometers per hour and not miles per hour.


    Aside the fact that I think their Defensive approach is a bit funny, here's something i've found on a site with driving rules.. Seatbelts are mandatory but child safety seats are not mandatory.
