Safe transport of children
The structure of a child's body is completely different from that of an adult or a teenager
(whom the seat belts are designed for). Children's hips are so small that the seat belt will not stay in the correct position on them. The belt may rise up on the child's stomach and, in the event of a collision, can cause serious internal injuries. Children must always be protected by suitable restraining systems.
All minors whose physical characteristics (age, height, weight) fall within the value ranges/limits provided by the established legislation in each country must be protected by special restraint or safety systems (certified child seats, booster seats). Make sure to always use approved universal child restraining systems. Follow the instructions that the manufacturer of the devices is compulsorily required to supply together with the child restraint systems. To ensure the best restraining action of the child seats, we recommend that you choose the model that best suits the shape of your seats. If possible, try to install the seat on the vehicle before purchasing it.
To guarantee the best restraining action of the child seat, we recommend that you
choose the seat that best suits the shape of your vehicle's seat and that you try to install the child seat before purchasing it.
In the event of an accident, an improperly fastened child restraining system can
increase the risk of injury.
Rearward-mounting child seats must not be used on front passenger seats
equipped with active airbags, as these could cause serious injuries during inflation, even in minor collisions.
No modifications can be made
to the seat belts and the child restraining systems.
Established legislation in some countries already provides that children under 12 years of age may not travel in the front passenger seat.
Below is a summary of the safety regulations applying to the transport of children: We recommend that you always carry children in the specific restraining systems installed in the rear outbound seats, as this is the safest place in the event of a collision. Always and strictly follow the instructions that the manufacturer provides with the seat. Keep the instructions in the vehicle together with the documents and this handbook. Do not use a seat which does not have any instructions for use. WARNING: We recommend that you choose the seat that best suits the shape of your vehicle's seat and that you try to install the seat before purchasing it. Always pull on the seat belt to check that it is locked in. All restraint system must be used by a single passenger only: never carry two children in the same seat. Always check that the seat belts are not resting against the child's neck. Do not allow the child to assume incorrect positions or undo the seat belt /child seat safety harness during travel.
