Car seat laws in Germany?

Hi everyone,

We%26#39;re traveling to Germany in March, and our daughters are 6 (almost 7) and 9 (almost 10). Both girls are tall for their ages, and they no longer need to use booster seats in California, both by age and weight. It occurred to me that I should check to see what the car seat laws are in Germany; here I was congratulating myself that we wouldn%26#39;t have to travel with car seats for the first time, but I realized that the law might be very different in Germany. I appreciate any information you can share!

Thanks so much!

Children younger than 12 must use some form of child protection/adaption. Exception is if they are 150 cm or taller.
