Transporting children safely

Child seat


Introduction
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident, children must be trans-
ported in child seats!
The information in this Owner´s Manual as well as the instructions of the child
seat manufacturer must be observed when installing and using the child seat.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport child seats on
the rear seats. Children should be transported on the front passenger seat only
in exceptional circumstances.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe
standard must be used.
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
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
■
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
■
Children might not be capable of leaving the vehicle or helping themselves
independently in the event of an emergency. Very high or very low temper-
atures can pose a risk to life!
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.
Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an acci-
■
dent if they lean forward or adopt an incorrect seated position when the
vehicle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported
on the front passenger seat as they can suffer severe, or even fatal injuries
if the airbag system is deployed!
Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufacturer
■
of the child safety seat regarding the correct routing of the belt. Seat belts
which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in mi-
nor accidents.
WARNING (Continued)
Safety belts must be checked to ensure that they are running properly.
■
One should also ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-edged fit-
tings.
When installing the child seat on the back seat, the corresponding front
■
seat must be adjusted so that there is no contact between the front seat
and the child seat or the child being transported in a child seat.
Before installing a forward-facing child seat with backrest, remove the
■
headrest » page 83. After removing the child seat, refit the head re-
straints.
Notice

These child seats were developed and also tested for use in ŠKODA vehicles.

Read and observe on page 23 first.
Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protected
by an active airbag positioned in front of it. This could cause serious injury
to the child, even death.
