Child Restraint Systems
Porsche recommends that all infants and children
be restrained in child restraint systems at all times
while the vehicle is in motion in accordance with
applicable laws.
When possible, use only child restraint systems
recommended by Porsche. These systems have
been tested and adjusted to the interior of your
Porsche and the appropriate child weight groups.
Other systems have not been tested and could
entail an increased risk of injury.
The use of infant or child restraints is required by
law in all 50 US states and the Canadian
provinces. The child restraint system should be
one that complies with U.S. Federal/Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and should be
secured by a lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt
or for child seats equipped with Top Tether to the
Top Tether anchorages.
All child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lapbelts or the lapbelt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
f Always observe the separate installation
instructions for your child seat.
Children could be endangered in a crash if their
child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle.
f Make sure that all child restraints are properly
secured.
