Selecting a Child Restraint System

Some child restraint systems are lower anchorage compatible. Some have a rigid-
type connector while others have a flexible-type connector. Both are equally easy to
use. Some existing and previously owned child restraint systems can only be installed
using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child restraint system
manufacturer's use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this manual.
Proper installation is key to maximizing your child's safety.
The flexible type may not be available in your country.
In seating positions not equipped with lower anchorages, install a child restraint
system using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. This is because all
child restraint systems must be secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/
shoulder belt when not using the lower anchorage system. In addition, the child
restraint system manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach an ISO
FIX restraint system once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child
restraint system owner's manual for proper installation instructions.

Important consideration when selecting a child restraint system

Make sure the child restraint system meets the following three requirements:
• The child restraint system is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child restraint system is the correct type for the seating position.
• Child restrain system is compliant with safety standard. We recommend the child
restraint system with the UN-ECE R44 or the regulations of the subject countries.
Look for the approval mark on the system and the manufacturer's statement of
compliance on the box.
