Introduction For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident st
atistics, w
e recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
››› page 18. But unlike adults, children do not
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-
ways use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com). These systems have been especially de-
signed and appr
o
ved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.
SEAT recommends securing the child seats
shown on the website as described below:

Rear seats: fitting a child seat with the
ISOFIX syst em.Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and saf
ely on the r
ear side seats with the
“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on each
rear side seat. In some vehicles, the rings are secured to the seat frame and, in others, they
are secur
ed to the rear floor. The “ISOFIX”
rings are located between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning ››› Fig. 24
.
The Top Tether* rings are located on the rear
part of the backrests of the rear seats (be- hind the seat backrest or in the boot)

FIX” systems in the vehicle, check the table
