Seats, restraints 53

9 Danger

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.

Selecting the right 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.

Children under the age of 12 years

that are smaller than 5 ft (150 cm) are

only allowed to travel in a restraint

system that is suitable for the child.

Only child restraint systems that

comply with ECE 44-03 and ECE

44-04 are suitable. Since a proper

position of the belt is rarely possible

with a child that is smaller than 5 ft

(150 cm), we strongly advise using an

appropriate child restraint system,

even though this may no longer be

legally binding due to the age of the

child.

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.

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 belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Notice

Do not stick anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.
