3-22 Seats and Restraints
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the
child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the
event of an accident.
Children under the age of 12 years
that are shorter than 150 cm (5 ft)
are only allowed to travel in a
restraint system that is suitable for
the child. Suitable are restraint
systems that comply with ECE
44-03 or ECE 44-04. Since a proper
position of the belt is rarely possible
with a child that is shorter than
150 cm (5 ft), we strongly advise the
use of an appropriate child restraint
system, even though this might, due
to the age of the child, no longer be
legally binding.
Never carry a child while travelling
in the vehicle. The child will become
too heavy to hold in the event of a
collision.
When transporting children, use the
child restraint systems suitable for
the child's weight.
Ensure that the child restraint
system to be installed is compatible
with the vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct.
Only allow children to enter and exit
the vehicle at the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is
not in use, secure the seat with a
safety belt or remove it from the
vehicle.
Do not stick anything on the
child restraint systems and do not
cover them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.

Please ensure that infants and
children are seated in the rear seats
using child restraints.
Until the children can use seat belts,
please select a child restraint
suitable for its age and make sure
the child wears it. Please see the
instructions on the relevant products
for child restraints.
