CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 to 36 kg)
To correctly secure the pelvis of a
child of up to 12 years old, smaller
than 1.50 m and weighing less than
36 kg, it is preferable to use child
seats that can be combined with
three-point seat belts. This is a
booster seat (figure 3) with belt
guides to ensure that the belt will be
worn flat over the child's thighs.
A booster seat with a height-
adjustable seatback and a belt guide
are recommended as this will allow
the belt to be worn as close to the
base of the neck as possible but not
on it.
Place the headrest in the top
position to allow you to press the
seatback of the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seatback.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle's headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child's stature; the upper edge of the
headrest must be at the same height
3
as the top of the child's head and
should never be lower than in line
with the child's eyes.
The standard classifies
restraints in five categories:
Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg
Category 0+: 0 to 13 kg
Category 1 : 9 to 18 kg
Category 2 : 15 to 25 kg
Category 3 : 22 to 36 kg
