Child restraints

Child restraint systems
We recommend the Vauxhall child
restraint system which is tailored
specifically to the vehicle.
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of
the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems are
used on the front passenger seat.
Selecting the right system
Children should travel in a rear-facing
child restraint until as old as possible.
It is appropriate to change the system
when the child's head can no longer
be properly supported at eye height.
In the event of an accident, the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the semi-prone
rearward position than when sitting
upright.
Children under 12 years or under
5 ft tall should only travel in an
appropriate child restraint system.
