56Seats, restraintsISOFIX brackets
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX
child restraint system positions are
marked in the ISOFIX table 3 58.
ISOFIX brackets are indicated by a
label on the backrest.
An i-Size child restraint system is an
universal ISOFIX child restraint
system according UN Regulation No.
129.
All i-Size child restraint systems can be used on any vehicle seat suitable
for i-Size, i-Size table 3 58.
Either a Top-tether strap or a support
leg must be used in addition to the
ISOFIX brackets.
i-Size child seats and vehicle seats
with i-Size approval are marked with i-Size symbol, see illustration.
Top-tether anchors
Top-tether anchors are marked with
the symbol : for a child seat.
In addition to the ISOFIX brackets,
fasten the Top-tether strap to the
Top-tether anchors.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 58.
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.
The following child restraints are recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Maxi Cosi Cabriofix for group 0, group 0+
● Duo Plus for group I
