Child Restraints - MG ZR Series Owner's Manual

CHILD SEATS (Saloon models only)

Child Restraints

Children are more likely to receive injuries from inflating airbags
than taller occupants (see 'AIRBAG SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)', page 26). For this reason, it is
recommended that children should always be seated in the rear of
the vehicle, in a child safety seat or restraint system appropriate to
their age and size. The range of safety seats approved for use in
your car is outlined in the tables on the following page and are also
listed in the MG Rover accessories brochure, which is available
from your MG Rover dealer.
For optimum protection, it is recommended that children
weighing up to 13 kg (or approximately 18 months of age) are
restrained in an MG Rover - approved rear facing child seat in an
outer rear seating position.
All infant and child restraint systems are designed to be secured in
the car by means of a standard seat belt.
When installing and using any infant or child restraint system,
always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Failure to properly
secure the child restraint system can endanger the child in a
collision or sudden stop and cause injury to other passengers.

Child Restraints
DO NOT install a rearward facing child seat in the front
passenger seat if a front passenger airbag is fitted - an inflating
airbag could impact with the seat causing serious injury, or even
death for the child.
The above symbol affixed to the fascia panel of your car, warns
against the use of a REAR FACING child seat in the front
passenger seat if a passenger airbag is fitted.
If it is necessary for a child to travel in the front, it is essential that
the vehicle seat is set fully rearwards and that the child is seated in
a FRONT FACING child safety seat.
