Class 0 / 0+For babies up to about 9 months weighing
up to 10 kg or babies up to about 18 months
weighing up to 13 kg, respectively, child
seats which can be adjusted into the reclin-
ing position are best suited - see illustra-
tion.
If the vehicle is equipped with front pas-
senger airbag, in certain cases, such
child seats must not be used on the front
passenger seat - see page 115.
Class 1For babies and small children up to about
4 years weighing between 9 and 18 kg it is
recommended to use child seats for the
lower weight range in which the child is
seated with its back to the direction of travel
and for the weight range above class 0+, it
is recommended to use child seats in which
the child is seated in the direction of travel
(see illustration).
If the vehicle is equipped with front pas-
senger airbag, in certain cases, such

116SAFETYWarning

To avoid severe injuries, therefore,
children must always be transported
safely in the vehicle with a restraint
system which matches the age, body
size and weight of the child.

Children must never be positioned
with their head in the inflation range
of the side airbag. Risk of injury!

Do not place any objects in the in-
flation range of the side airbag. Risk
of injury!

A child seat in which the child
faces with its back in the direction of
travel, may only be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passen-
ger airbag (in certain countries also
on child seats in which the child
faces the direction of travel) has
been deactivated - refer to page 107.
Otherwise, there is a risk of the child
suffering severe or even fatal injuries
if the airbag is deployed. In certain
countries, legal requirements neces-
sitate deactivating the side airbag. If
a child is nevertheless seated on the
front passenger seat, observe the
legal requirements for the use of
child seats.
Attaching child seats („ISOFIX“
system)Two eyes for attaching a child seat with the
„ISOFIX“ system are provided between
backrest and seat cushion at the two outer
rear seats.
Child seats with the „ISOFIX“ system can
be installed quickly, conveniently and
safely. The seat should be installed as
specified in the installation instructions
enclosed with the „ISOFIX“ child seat. Al-
ways ensure that the child seat engages
properly when installed (pull as a check!).
Notes
An „ISOFIX“ child seat must only be at-
tached in the vehicle using the „ISOFIX“
system if the child seat bears an official seal
of approval for the particular vehicle model
in conformity with the ECE-R 44 Standard.
Warning

Before using an „ISOFIX“ child
seat which you have acquired for an-
other vehicle, please check with yourŠkoda dealer whether your child seat
is recommended for the Škoda-Octavia.
Certain child seats with “ISOFIX”
attachment system can also be at-
tached with the usual three-point
seat belt. Attention should be paid to
the instructions of the child seat
manufacturer for the installation and
removal.
