Child Safety Seats; Guidelines For Seating Children - Tesla 2012- 21013 S Owner's Manual

Guidelines for Seating Children

Child Safety Seats

You must restrain infants and small children
using a child safety seat appropriate for the
child's age, weight, and size. Carefully follow
the instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the child safety seat. Never use child safety
seats in the front row passenger seat.
Refer to the tables below for guidelines on the type of seatbelt installed and ISOFIX installed child
restraint you should used based on the weight of the child.

NOTE: If the combined weight of the child and the child safety seat is over 29 kg, Tesla recommends
attaching the safety seat using the seat belt and upper tether strap. In addition to safety, this has
the added benefit of ensuring the seat belt reminder does not stay lit. Always follow the seat belt
manufacturer's instructions when installing child safety seats.
