Mercedes-Benz recommends using the inte-
grated child seat for children from the age of
24 months who weigh up to 36 kg.
For children from the age of 24 months who
weigh up to 18 kg: an ICS padded play table
and a side head restraint which have been
specially approved for the integrated child
seat must also be used.
Note that children younger than 24 months
old require a different child restraint system.
When the child seat is occupied, adjust the
head restraint so that the centre of the head
restraint supports the seat occupant's head
at about eye level.

strap if necessary.
