Child restraints
Child restraint systems
Follow the usage instructions for the
child restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
Selecting the right system
Your child should travel facing
backwards in the vehicle, until as old
as possible. A child has a very weak
cervical spinal column and in the
event of an accident is less likely to
suffer injury in a rearward-facing,
semi-lying position than if seated
upright.
Children
under 12 years or under 150
cm tall should only travel in an
appropriate child safety seat.
When transporting children, use the
child restraint systems suitable for the
child's weight. Note
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.
