Child restraint systems

We recommend Opel child restraint
systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle.
The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with ISOFIX
base, for children up to 13 kg
● Group I
Duo Plus with ISOFIX and Top
tether, for children from 9 kg to
18 kg in this group
● Group II, Group III
Kidfix with or without ISOFIX for
children from 15 kg to 36 kg
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Seats, restraints
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
9 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to
certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the tables 3 47.
Airbag deactivation 3 44.
Airbag label 3 39.
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.
