Child seats that have been tested and ap-
proved 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
number below it).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and ob-
serve any statutory requirements when instal-
ling and using child seats.
We recommend you to always include the
manufacturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual
together with the on-board documentation.
CUPRA 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 deal-
ers.
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 uni-
versal 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 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 vehi-
cle.

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 manu-
facturer'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-facing
child seats.
