Selecting a Child Restraint System
Some child restraint systems are lower anchorage compatible. Some have a rigid-
type connector while others have a flexible-type connector. Both are equally easy to
use. Some existing and previously owned child restraint systems can only be installed
using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child restraint system
manufacturer's use and care instructions including recommended expiration dates
as well as the instructions in this manual. Proper installation is key to maximising
your child's safety.
The flexible type may not be available in your country.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with lower anchorages, install a child
restraint system using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. This is
because all child restraint systems must be secured with the seat belt when the
lower anchorage system is not in use. In addition, the child restraint system
manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach an ISOFIX restraint
system once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child restraint system
owner's manual for proper installation instructions.

Important consideration when selecting a child restraint system
Make sure the child restraint system meets the following three requirements:
• The child restraint system is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child restraint system is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child restraint system is compliant with safety standards. We recommend a
child restraint system compliant with UN Regulation No. 44 or No. 129, or the
regulations of the subject countries. Look for the approval mark on the system
and the manufacturer's statement of compliance on the box.

Installation of a lower anchorage-compatible child
restraint system is simple.
Lower anchorage-compatible child restraint systems
have been developed to simplify the installation
process and reduce the likelihood of injuries caused
by incorrect installation.
