Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, w
e recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
›››
page 18. But unlike adults, children do not
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-
ways use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com).
These systems have been especially de-
signed and appro
ved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.
SEAT recommends securing the child seats
shown on the website as described below:
●
Child seats in the opposite direction of trav-
el (group 0+): ISOFIX and support bracket
(Peke G0 Plus + ISOFIX Base (RWF)).
●
Child seats in the direction of travel (group
1): ISOFIX and Top Tether (Peke G1 ISOFIX
DUO Plus).
●
Child seats directed towards the front of
the vehicle for group 2: safety belt and ISOFIX
(RÖMER KIDFIX XP

).
●
Child seats directed towards the front of
the vehicle for group 3: safety belt and ISOFIX
(TATAKI MAXI PLUS

).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. Always read
and note
›››
page 30.
We recommend you always carry the manu-
facturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.
