The police warned that the vehicle in which the offence is spotted will be impounded immediately, with owners having to pay Dh5,000 to get it released.
There is also a Dh400 fine for the offence that puts children's life at risk.
"The vehicle remains impounded until release fees are paid. It will be auctioned after a maximum of three months if it has not been claimed by the owner," the police said in a social media post.
The rule is part of new traffic laws that were enacted in Abu Dhabi in September last year.
Children below the age of 10 must sit in the back seats of vehicles and should wear seatbelts. Kids under the age of four should be seated in child seats.
