Booster seats on the rear seat
Children who are about 7 years and older, who
weigh more than 55 lbs . (25 kg) and are not
taller than 4'11" (1.5 m) are best protected
when properly restrained on the rear seat.
Due to limited rear seat head clearance chil-
dren 4 '3" (1.3 m) and taller must not use
booster seats on the rear seat of your Audi TT
Coupe. The rear seat of your Audi TT Coupe
has been specially designed to permit children
who are between 4'3" (1.3 m) and 4'11" (1.5
m) tall (about 7 to 12 years old) to use the
available three -point lap and shoulder safety
belts .

close to the rear window and roof can
suffer severe head and neck injuries
