Child restraint systems  
We recommend the Vauxhall child  
restraint system which is tailored  
specifically to the vehicle.  
When using the Vauxhall child  
restraint system, move the rear  
outboard seats into position 2 3 41.  
We recommend fastening the  
Vauxhall child restraint system by  
using the following securing systems  
in combination:

ISOFIX  
Seats, restraints

When a child restraint system is being  
used, pay attention to the following  
usage and installation instructions  
and also those supplied with the child  
restraint system.  
Always comply with local or national  
regulations. In some countries, the  
use of child restraint systems is  
forbidden on certain seats.  
Notice  
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
