Children under age 13 should always
Our recommendation:
ride in the rear seats and must always
be properly restrained to minimise the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden manoeuvre. According
to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear
seats than in the front seat. Children too
large for a Child Restraint System must
use the seat belts provided.
Children always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children in
the rear seats of the vehicle, unless the
air bag on the front passenger seat is
deactivated.
Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat can
be forcefully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH.
Most countries have Child Restraint
Systems which require children to travel
in approved Child Restraint Systems. The
laws governing the age or height/weight
restrictions at which seat belts can be
used instead of Child Restraint System
differs among countries, so you should
be aware of the specific requirements
in your country, and where you are
travelling.
Child Restraint Systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commercially
available Child Restraint System that
meets the requirements of the Safety
Standards of your country.
Child Restraint Systems are generally
designed to be secured in a vehicle seat
by lap belt or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt, or by a top-tether
and/or ISOFIX anchorage in the rear
seats of the vehicle.
