Child restraint systems
We recommend the following child
restraint systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle:
● Group 0, Group 0+
OPEL Baby cradle, with or
without ISOFIX base, for children
up to 13 kg
● Group I
OPEL Duo, Britax Römer King,
for children from 9 kg to 18 kg
● Group II, Group III
OPEL Kid, OPEL Kidfix, for
children from 15 kg up to 36 kg
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with 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.9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems are
used on the front passenger seat.
Airbag deactivation 3 63.
Airbag label 3 59.
9 Warning
When using child restraint
systems on the rear seats, ensure that the backrests are engaged
securely in upright position.
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.
66Seats, restraintsNote
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover

A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
