Transporting children
safely
Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, we 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 reasons,
the child seat should be installed in the rear
seat, behind the front passenger seat or in the
centre back seat.
The laws of physics involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
›››page48. 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
products from the 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 designed
and approved, 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 travel
(group 0+): ISOFIX and support peg (ROMER
BABY SAFE PLUS SHR II + ISOFIX BASE / PEKE G0
I-SIZE + I-SIZE BASE).
●
Child seats in the direction of travel (group
1): ISOFIX and Top Tether (ROMER DUO PLUS +
TOP TETHER / PEKE G1 TRIFIX I-SIZE).
●
Forward facing child seats (group 2): safety
belt and ISOFIX (ROMER BRITAX KIDFIX2 S).
●
Child seats directed towards the front of the
vehicle (group 3): safety belt (TAKATA MAXI).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and ob-
serve any statutory requirements when instal-
ling and using child seats. Always read and
note ›››page62.
We recommend you always carry the man-
ufacturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.
