Get Safety -> Securing a child seat with ISOFIX Guide for Volkswagen Transporter Van Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

located between the seat and the rear seat backrest. The ISOFIX securing system as described here is specific to the

EU (→ Child seat with ISOFIX). An upper strap(top tether) or a support foot may sometimes have to be used in

addition to the ISOFIX anchor points described above.

—Three-point automatic seat belt: It is better to secure child seats using the ISOFIX system, if available, rather than

with a three-point automatic seat belt.

Additional securing points:

—Top tether: this strap at the top of the child seat is routed over the vehicle seat backrest and hooked into an anchor

ring in the load compartment. Top tether anchor points are marked with an anchor symbol (→ Child seats).

—support foot: some child seats are propped up with a support foot resting on the floor of the vehicle. This support

foot helps prevent the child seat tipping forward in a crash.

Recommended child seat securing systems

Child seats should be secured as follows:

—Infant carrier or rear-facing child seat: ISOFIX and support foot.

—Forward-facing child seat: ISOFIX and top tether and possibly also support foot.

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.

Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seatbelts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or

equipment to the vehicle.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the support foot can cause severe or fatal injuries.

● Ensure that the support foot is always correctly and safely installed.
