CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
The right choice
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To give your children maximum
protection, we recommend that you
use seats obtained from a Renault
Dealer.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
Isofix system, it is preferable to use
an Isofix seat. (Refer
information in section 1 on the
Isofix system of child seats.)
Restraint systems for all categories
are available. These systems have
been developed in consultation
with the manufacturers and have
been tested in Renault vehicles.
Take the advice of your Renault
Dealer and ask him to help you to
install it.

Category O and O+
A child's neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. In a
front-facing seat there is a risk that a
child will sustain neck injuries in
the event of a frontal collision.
Renault therefore recommends a
rear-facing seat with a harness that
gives all-round protection (figure 1).

Category 1
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a child's
pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using three-point belts are
not adequate and there is a risk that
the child will sustain abdominal
injuries in the event of a frontal
collision. It is therefore advisable to
use rear-facing seats (figure 1), bucket
type seats (figure 2) or seats with
harnesses.
