General points relating to child seats

Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
CITROËN recommends
that children should travel on the rear seatsof your vehicle: -"rearward-facing"
up to the age of 3,-"forward-facing"
over the age of 3.

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
trave
l 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 carrying 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 rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force
in
your country.
