Simply attaching to the LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
securing rings on the vehicle can reduce the risk
of installing the child restraint system incorrectly.
When securing a child with the integrated seat
belt of the ISOFIX/LATCH child restraint system,
always comply with the permissible gross weight
for the child and child restraint system
(
page 64).

A child booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children over
40 lbs (18 kg) in weight or until they reach a
height at which they can wear a three-point seat
belt properly without a child booster seat.
Mercedes-Benz recommends a suitable child
booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide.
Observe standards for child restraint systems
All child restraint systems must meet the following
standards:
U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Confirmation that the child restraint system com-
plies with the standards can be found on an
instruction label on the child restraint system.
This confirmation can also be found in the instal-
lation instructions that are included with the child
restraint system.
