Child restraint systems are regulated by Europe
an standards ECE
R
44 or ECE-R
129x).
Both
standards apply in parallel. An orange label is
normally attached to child seats which have been
tested in accordance with these standards. Infor
mation on weight categories, ISOFIX size class
and the approval category of the child seat can
be found on this Label.
Weight categories for child seats
- Child seats: categories 0 and 0+: Rearward-
facing carry cots are most appropriate for these
categories (up to 13 kg). Our recommendation:
Audi carry cot with optional ISOFIX base.
- Child seats: category 1: In this category (9 to
18 kg), rearward or forward-facing child seats
with an integrated seat belt system are most
appropriate. Rearward-facing child seats
should be used for as long as safely possible.
Our recommendation: Audi child seat with ISO-
FIX base.
- Child seats: categories 2 and 3: Child seats
with backrests used in conjunction with seat
belts are most appropriate for these categories
(15 to 36 kg). Our recommendation: Audi child
seat "youngster plus".
Approval categories for child seats
Child seats can have the approval categories
uni
versal,
semi-universal, vehicle-specific (all ac
cording to the ECE-R 44 standard) or
i-Size
(ac
cording to the ECE-R 129 standard).
- Universal: Child seats approved for the univer
sal category are suitable for installation in any
vehicle. A model list is not required. Universal
category child seats for ISOFIX anchorages
must be secured additionally by
a
top tether
strap.

ditional tests are required for securing a child
seat with semi-universal approval. Child seats
with semi-universal approval have a model list

A WARNING
- Rearward-facing child seats: Never install a
rearward-facing child seat on the front pas
senger's seat unless the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated - this can result
in potentially fatal injuries to the
child.
If
you have no alternative but to let
a
child
travel on the front passenger's seat, the
front passenger's airbag must be deactiva

- Forward-facing child seats: The back of the
child seat should be flush with the backrest
of the vehicle seat. If the rear head restraint

59.
Install the head restraint again immediately
after removing the child seat. Adjust the
head restraint to the correct height for the
passenger. Travelling with the head re
straints removed or incorrectly adjusted in
