amples of child seats.
Use only child seats that are ocially appr

and suitable for the child.
These seats are subject to the ECE-R44 or
ECE-R129 standards. ECE-R stands for: Eco-
nomic Commission for Europe Regulation.
Child seats by weight group
The child seats are grouped into 5 categories:

Group 0 Up to 10 kg
Group 0+ Up to 13 kg
Group 1 From 9 to 18 kg
Group 2 From 15 to 25 kg

Child seats that have been tested and ap-
pr
oved under the ECE R44 or ECE-R129 stand-
ards bear the ECE-R44 or ECE-R129 test marks
on the seat (the letter E in a circle with the test

We recommend you to always include the

SEAT recommends you use child seats from the
Original Accessories Catalogue. These child
seats have been designed and tested for use in
our vehicles. You can find the right child seat for
your model and age group at our dealers.
Child seats by approval category
Child seats may have the approval category
of universal, semi-universal, vehicle specific (all
according to the ECE-R44 standard) or i-Size
(according to the ECE-R129 standard).
●
Universal: child seats with universal approval
can be installed in all vehicles. There is no need
to consult any list of models. In the case of
universal approval for ISOFIX, the child seat is
additionally provided with a Top Tether belt.
●
Semi-universal: semi-universal approval, in
addition to the standard requirements of univer-
sal approval, requires safety devices to lock
the child seat, which require additional test-
ing. Child seats with semi-universal approval
include a list of vehicle models for which they
can be installed.
●
Vehicle-specific: vehicle-specific approval
requires a dynamic test of the child seat for
each vehicle model separately. Child seats
with vehicle-specific approval also include a list
of vehicle models for which they can be instal-
led.
●
i-Size: child seats with i-Size approval must
meet the requirements prescribed in the ECE-
R 129 standard in relation to installation and
safety. Child seat manufacturers can tell you
which seats have i-Size approval for this vehi-
cle.
