General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
CITROËN recommends that children should travel in the rear seats of your vehicle: - "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2, - "forwards-facing" over the age of 2.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the following recommendations: - in accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * , - statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carr ying children are the rear seats, - a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rear wards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.
* The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the current legislation in your country.
