Seat ALHAMBRA Owner's Manual page 45

Always secure child seats properly and safely in the vehicle according to the
child seat manufacturer's installation instructions.
Mounted child seats must rest correctly on the vehicle's seat and must not
move or rock more than 2.5 cm (1 inch).
Child seats equipped for a Top Tether strap must also be secured using the
Top Tether retaining strap in the vehicle
belt to the rings fitted for this purpose and identified as Top Tether. Not all
rings can be used with the Top Tether system. Always tighten the Top Tether
retaining strap so that the child seat fits snugly against the corresponding
seat in the vehicle.

Use of the child seat on the front passenger seat
Transporting children on the front passenger seat is not permitted in all coun-
tries. Furthermore, not all child seats are approved for use on the front
passenger seat. Your SEAT qualified workshop has an updated list of all
approved child seats. Only use child seats that are approved for each vehicle.
The frontal airbag on the front passenger side is highly dangerous for a child.
The front passenger seat is life-threatening to a child if he or she is trans-
ported in a rear-facing child seat.
If a rear-facing child seat is secured to the front passenger seat, an inflating
airbag can strike it with such great force that severe or fatal injuries may result
. Therefore, rear-facing child seats must never be used on the front
passenger seat when the front passenger airbag is enabled.

Suitable child seats
The child seat must be authorised by the manufacturer especially for use on
a front passenger seat with a frontal or side airbag.
If the front passenger seat is equipped with retaining rings, the child seat can
be secured using the approved retaining system provided it is approved for
this type of vehicle in accordance with current regulations in the country in
question.
Universal seats for children in groups 0, 0+, 1, 2 or 3 according to the ECE-
R 44 regulation.
WARNING
If a child seat is mounted on the front passenger seat, the risk of the child
sustaining severe or fatal injuries in the event of an accident increases.
Rear-facing child seats must never be mounted on the front passenger seat
when the front passenger airbag is enabled. This is life-threatening to the
child should the frontal airbag deploy, as the child seat would be struck by
the inflated airbag and thrown against the backrest.
