''Isofix'' mountings*
Available on the one third side of the
rear seat, the Isofix mountings allow
fitting of a
special child seat,
approved for PEUGEOT vehicles
and sold within its network.
The locks incorporated in the child
seat fit onto the Isofix mountings and
ensure safe, reliable and fast assem
bly.
The special child seat approved by
PEUGEOT is the KIDDY Isofix seat.

facing position from birth to 13 kg
and in the forwards facing position
from 9 to 18 kg.

case it is compulsory to wear a
