CHILD SAFETY
Choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
2
A baby's head is, proportionally, heav­
ier than that of an adult and its neck is
very fragile. Transport the child in this
position as long as possible (until the
age of 2 at the very least). It supports
both the head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best
side protection and change it as soon
as the child's head is higher than the
shell.

Forward-facing child seats
Up to 18 kg or 4 years, the child may
travel on a forward-facing seat.
Choose your seat according the child's
size: their head and abdomen are the
areas which must be most protected. A
forward­facing child seat which is firm­
ly attached to the vehicle will reduce
the risk of impact to the head. Ensure
your child travels in a forward-facing
seat with a harness for as long as their
size permits.

Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted to
suit his size and shape. The booster
seat cushion must be fitted with guides
to position the seat belt on the child's
thighs rather than the stomach. It is
recommended that you use a seatback
which can be adjusted in terms of
height to position the seat belt in the
centre of the shoulder. It must never
rest on the neck or on the arm.
