CHILD RESTRAINTS116
The results of studies carried out into numerous road accidentsclearly indicate that the rear seats of a vehicle are the safest places for children to sit.
It is thus strongly recommended that, whenever possible, child seats are fitted in the rear.
This includes rearward facing child seats.
Young children should not be consi- dered as small adults; until the ageof 7 or 8 the ratio of head weight to
body weight is different to that ofadults. During violent deceleration or an impact, the weight of the head andthe relative weakness of the neckmuscles can cause serious spinal
injury. It is only from the age of approxi-
mately 10 or a height of 4Õ 6Ó (1.35m) that children can use the samemeans of restraint as an adult. This is why most countries legislate on the means of transporting chil-dren, and the sale and use of safe-ty equipment suitable for theirweight. The majority of experts in the field
of accident study, currently recom-mend:
Up to the age of 9 months
(up to 10 kg):
a rearward facing child seat, to beinstalled using a 3 point (inertiareel) seat belt. From 9 months to 3 years
(up to 18 kg):
a forward facing child seat, to beinstalled in the rear using a 2 or 3point (lap or inertia reel) seat belt.

CHILD RESTRAINTS117
Over 3 years of age(more than 15 kg):
a seat belt adapter allowing the child to sit in the rear seats, facingforward, using a 2 or 3 point (lap orinertia reel) seat belt. (applicable inparticular to children aged between3 and 6 years old). In certain countries, the law only allows children to be carried in the front seats of the vehicle in the following circum- stances: ¥ Rearward facing child seat (passenger airbag not fitted or de-activated).¥ When the rear seats do not allow the fitting of such a seat (seat removed or folded).
¥ When there are more children than can be safely seated in the rear. Please consult your dealer for further information on the range of approved and tested equipment available. Over 3 years of age
(more than 15 kg):
a booster cushion, more applicable to larger children, installed in therear seats, facing forward, using a 3point (inertia reel) seat belt. (appli-cable in particular to children agedbetween 6 and 10 years old).
