Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, we recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children

have fully developed muscle and bone struc-

tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-
ways use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by "Peke" (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com).
These systems have been especially de-
signed and approved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.
SEAT recommends securing the child seats
shown on the website as described below:
Child seats in the opposite direction of trav-
●
el (group 0+): ISOFIX and support peg (RO-
MER BABY SAFE PLUS SHR II + ISOFIX BASE /
PEKE G0 I-SIZE + I-SIZE BASE).
Child seats in the direction of travel (group
●
1): ISOFIX and Top Tether (ROMER DUO PLUS
+ TOP TETHER / PEKE G1 TRIFIX I-SIZE).
Child seats directed towards the front of
●
the vehicle (group 2): safety belt and ISOFIX
(ROMER KIDFIX XP).
Child seats directed towards the front of
●
the vehicle (group 3): safety belt and ISOFIX
(ROMER KIDFIX XP).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. Always read

and note page 32.
We recommend you always carry the manu-
facturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.
