Transporting children safely

Child seat


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat
Child safety and side airbag
Classification of child seats
Use of child seats fastened with a seat belt
Children are generally safer on the rear seats than on the front passenger
seat.
In contrast to adults, the muscles and bone structure of children are not yet
fully developed. Thus children are exposed to increased risk of injury.
Children should be transported in accordance with the relevant statutory pro-
visions.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 standard must be used. ECE-R stands
for: Economic Commission for Europe – Regulation.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard are identified with a test
mark that cannot be removed: a large E within a circle with the test number
below.
WARNING
The national legal requirements must be observed when using child
■
seats.
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
■
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Certain outside climatic
■
conditions can cause life-threatening temperatures in the vehicle.
The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire journey! Other-
■
wise, the child would be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an acci-
dent, causing fatal injuries to both the child and other occupants.
