Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all
times, including babies and children. EC directive
2003/20/EC requires proper use of restraints in all
EC countries.
Children less than 1.5 m tall and 12 years or younger
should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.
WARNING!
 NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
 Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front
seat of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle does not have
a rear seat, do not transport a rear-facing child
restraint in that vehicle.
 Never install a forward-facing child restraint in the
front seat. Only use a forward-facing child restraint in
the rear seat.
 A deploying passenger front airbag can cause death
or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
 In a collision, an unrestrained child can become a
projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to
hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could be badly
injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
There are different sizes and types of restraints for
children from newborn size to the child almost large
enough for an adult safety belt. Children should ride
rearward facing as long as possible; this is the most
protected position for a child in the event of a crash.
Always check the child seat Owner's Manual to make sure
you have the correct seat for your child. Carefully read and
follow all the instructions and warnings in the child
restraint Owner's Manual and on all the labels attached to
the child restraint.
In Europe, children restraint systems are defined by
regulation ECE-R44, which divides them into five weight
