130 Safety systems
Child restraint system 3
The Vauxhall child restraint system is
designed specifically for your Vauxhall and
thus provides optimum safety for your child
in the event of impact. If a different child
safety seat is used, follow the
manufacturers’ instructions for fitting and
use.
The country in which you are travelling
may not permit the use of child restraint
systems on certain seats. Always comply
with the local or national regulations.
Selecting the right system
Your child should travel facing backwards
in the car for as long as possible. A child
has a very weak cervical spinal column and
in the event of an accident is less likely to
suffer injury in a rearward-facing, semi-
lying position than if seated upright.
9 Warning
Never carry child restraint systems on
your lap, risk of fatal injury.
