The rules for transporting children are

mountings, the rear seats, the
passenger air bag and the disarming
of this air bag depend on the version
sold.
The child seats function and the
passenger air bag disarming function
are common to the entire PEUGEOT
range.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also
depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or
l e s s t h a n o n e m e t r e fi f t y t a l l m u s t
travel in approved child seats suited
t o t h e i r w e i g h t , o n s e a t s fi t t e d w i t h
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of
children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-facing"
position both in the front and in the
rear,
- the passenger must not travel with a child on his lap.
Refer to chapter 4, "Air bags"
section.
If the passenger air bag is not
disarmed, the installation of a
"rearwards-facing" child seat in the
front is strictly prohibited.
