Child seats by approval category
Child seats may have the approval category
of universal, semi-universal, vehicle specific
(all according to the ECE-R 44 standard) or i-
Size (according to the ECE-R 129 standard).
●
Universal : child seats with universal appro-
val 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
universal approval, requires safety devices to
lock the child seat, which require additional
testing. Child seats with semi-universal ap-
proval 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
installed.
●
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
vehicle.

Warnings about fitting a child seat
Take the following general warnings into ac-
count if you are going to fit a child seat. They
are valid for all child seats regardless of their
attachment system.
● Please read and follow the child seat man-
ufacturer's operating instructions.
●
The child seat should preferably be fitted
to the rear seat behind the front passenger
seat so that the child can exit the vehicle on
the pavement side.
●
Set the height of the seat belt such that it
adapts to the child seat naturally, without
twisting. The lowest position of the seat belt
height regulator must be used with rear-fac-
ing child seats.
●
To correctly use a child seat in the back,
the front backrest must be adjusted so that
there is no contact with the child seat in the
back in the case that it goes opposite to the
direction of the car. In the case of front fac-
ing restraint systems, the front backrest must
be adjusted so that there is no contact with
the child's feet.
●
If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-
led, in which the method of attachment to
the car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the
central rear seat as the ground clearance is
lower than in other places and the support
bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-
ciently stable.
● When fitting a child seat on the front pas-
senger seat, the seat must be moved back-
wards as far as possible and placed in the
30
