Child Restraint Systems
Porsche recommends that all infants and children be restrained in child restraint systems at all times while the vehicle is in motion in accordance with applicable laws.
When possible, use only child restraint systems recommended by Porsche. These systems have been tested and adjusted to the interior of your Porsche and the appropriate child weight groups.Other systems have not been tested and could entail an increased risk of injury.
The use of infant or child restraints is required by law in all 50 US states and the Canadian provinces. The child restraint system should be one that complies with U.S. Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and should be secured by a lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt or for child seats equipped with the LATCH system ( Lower Anchorage and Tether for Children, also known as ISOFIX) to the LATCH anchorages.
All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lapbelts or the lapbelt portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
You can obtain child seats that are LATCH compatible at your authorized Porsche dealer.fAlways observe the separate installation instructions for your child seat.
Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.fMake sure that all child restraints are properly secured.
