Introduction - Skoda BABY-SAFE i-SIZE BASE Fitting Instructions Manual

Introduction

Children sitting on back seats are safer than when they sit on the
EN
front passenger seat.
Unlike adults, development of bones and muscles in children is yet
not complete. Children are therefore exposed to much higher risk
of injury.
To reduce the risk, children whose body height does not exceed
150 cm and weight 36 kg shall only be transported in child safety
seats!
Use child safety seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 Regulation.
The ECE-R 44 Regulation means: regulation of the Economic Com-
mission for Europe.
Child safety seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 Regulation are
identified with an undetachable symbol: capital E in a ring with the
test protocol number underneath.
Follow the national legal regulations for the use of
child safety seats.
Children whose body height does not exceed 150 cm
and weight 36 kg must be during the drive secured in
a child safety seat that corresponds with their body
proportions => Categorization of child safety seats in
groups, page 18.
In no case transport children (or infants) on your lap!
Only one child can be fastened in one child safety seat.

Never leave a child in your vehicle unattended. Under
certain external weather conditions temperatures in a
vehicle can achieve values that jeopardize human life.
Never let a child be unsecured during the drive in the
car. In case of an accident the child would be thrown
in the vehicle space and could severely or even fatally
harm itself or other passengers.
When children lean over or do not sit right during the
drive, they expose themselves to an increased risk of
injury in case of an accident. This mainly applies to
children that are transported on the front passenger
seat - if the airbag system activates, severe up to fatal
injuries may occur!
Follow unconditionally the instructions of the child
safety seat manufacturer in terms of fastening the
seat belts. Wrongly guided safety belts may cause
injuries even in case of minor accidents.
Check the way of guiding the belts in the car. Make
sure that the safety belt is not damaged by being
guided over sharp edges.
If you want to place a child safety seat on the front
passenger seat, in which the child must sit with his/
her back towards the direction of the drive, it is abso-
lutely necessary to deactivate the front passenger air-
bag. Additional information => Use of the child safety
seat on the front passenger seat, page 17.
In case of a traffic accident under a striking speed over
10 km/h, the child safety seat may suffer a damage
that need not be visible. It is absolutely necessary
that you replace such child safety seat. Make sure it is
disposed of properly.
