SUITABILITY OF
PASSENGER SEATS FOR
i-Size CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM USE
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-
of-the-art i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built
and type-approved according to the
i-Size (ECE R129) standard, ensure
better safety conditions to carry
children on board a vehicle:
❒ the child must be transported
rearward facing until 15 months;
❒ child restraint system protection is
increased in the event of a side
collision;
❒ the use of the ISOFIX system is
promoted to avoid faulty installation of
the child restraint system;
❒ efficiency in the choice of the child
restraint system, which isn't made
according to weight anymore but
according to the child's height,
is increased;
❒ compatibility between the vehicle
seats and the child restraint systems is
better: the i-Size child restraint systems
can be considered as "Super ISOFIX";
this means that they can be perfectly
fitted in type-approved i-Size seats, but
can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44)
type-approved seats.
NOTE The vehicle seats, i-Size
type-approved, are marked by the
symbol shown in fig. 82.
