Get Child seats -> Types of child seat Guide for Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

● The child seat can only provide maximum protection if the seat belt is routed correctly around it. Always ensure that the seat belt

is routed as specified in the instructions provided by the child seat manufacturer. If the seat belts are not worn correctly this can

cause injuries even in a minor accident.

● After an accident, it is vital to replace any child seats that were in use during the accident, as they could have sustained non-visible

damage.

Only use child seats that have been officially approved and are suitable for the child.

Standards for child seats

In member states, child seats are subject to the regulations ECE R 44 or ECE R 129. Both regulations apply simultaneously. Child seats

which have been tested in accordance with these standards carry an orange ECE approval label. This ECE approval label may include

the following information on the child seat:

—Weight class.

—Size class.

—Approval category (universal, semi-universal, vehicle-specific or i-Size).

—Approval number.

On child seats that are approved under regulation ECE R 44, the eight-digit approval number on the ECE approval label must begin

with 03 or 04. This shows that the seat is admissible for use. Older child seats with an approval number beginning with 01 or 02 are not

admissible.

: group 0/0+ or 0/1 rear-facing infant carriers → Fig. 1 are the best option for the period from birth to about 18

months.

: group 1 (up to about 4 years old) and group 1/2 (up to about 7 years old) with an integral belt system are the best for

children over the relevant weight limit.

: groups 2 and 3 include child seats with a backrest, and booster seats with no backrest. Child seats with a

backrest have integrated seat routing and side padding, and so provide better protection than booster seats with no backrest.

Volkswagen therefore recommends the use of child seats with a backrest. Group 2 child seats are for children up to the age of about

7, group 3 child seats for children more than around 7 years old.

When using a Group 2 child seat or a child seat for children from a height of 100 cm (3 ft 3 in) with backrest, Volkswagen recommends

using the additional belt guide on the child seat for the seat belt in the pelvic area, if available → Fig. 2 1 . Please observe the

instructions for use of the child seat.

Not every child will fit in the child seat specified for their weight group. Likewise, not every seat will fit in every vehicle. Therefore it is

vital to check that the child fits properly in their child seat and that the child seat can be securely fastened in the vehicle.

Child seat approval categories

Child seats can be classified as “universal” (in accordance with regulations ECE-R 44 and ECE-R 129), “semi-universal”, “vehicle-

specific” (in accordance with regulation ECE-R 44 in each case) or “i-Size” (in accordance with ECE-R 129).

—

: child seats with “universal” approval are approved for use in all vehicles. No type list is required. In the case of universal

approval for ISOFIX, the child seat must also be secured with a top tether.

: “semi-universal” approval requires other safety devices for attaching the seat (that require additional testing) in

addition to the standard requirements for universal approval. Child seats with “semi-universal” approval come with a type list. The

seats should only be used in vehicles that are included on this list.

—

: child seats with vehicle specific approval must have undergone dynamic testing in each model of vehicle for which

it is approved. Child seats with “vehicle-specific” approval also come with a type list.

: child seats classified as “i-Size” must conform to the installation and safety requirements prescribed in regulation ECE R 129.

Contact the child seat manufacturer to find out whether child seats are approved for this vehicle, and if so which ones, in accordance

with i-Size.

Country-specific regulations

The standards and regulations governing the use of child seats and child seat securing mechanisms differ from country to country. Not

all countries allow you to transport children on the front passenger seat. Regulations and legal requirements take precedence over the

information given in this owner’s manual.

Information on fitting a child seat

Observe the following general information when fitting a child seat. This information is relevant whatever child seat securing system is

being used.

—Read and follow the instructions provided by the child seat manufacturer →

—Whenever possible, fit the child seat on the rear bench seat behind the front passenger seat so that children can exit the vehicle on

the kerb side.

—Set the seat belt height so that the seat belt routing follows a natural line and is adjusted to the child seat without turning back on

itself. For rear-facing child seats, use the lowest position of the seat belt height adjuster.
