The optimal solution for babies of up to about 9 months old weighing up to 10 kg or
babies up to about 18 months old weighing up to 13 kg is a child safety seat which can
be adjusted into the reclining position
In view of the fact that such child seats are installed that the child is seated with its back
facing the direction of travel, they must not be used on the front passenger
seat page 160, "Use of child safety seats on the front passenger seat".

airbag also the side or head airbags are deactivated. Please comply with any
differing national legal regulations regarding the use of child safety seats.
If this is not done, a child seated on the front passenger seat may suffer
severe or even fatal injuries if the front passenger airbag or airbags are
deployed.
