Child restraint system (CRS)
Our recommendation: Children
always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children in the
vehicle. Children of all ages are safer
when riding in the rear seats. Never
place a rearward-facing Child Restraint
System on the front passenger seat,
unless the air bag is deactivated.
Children under age 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must always be
properly restrained to minimise the risk
of injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Children
too large for a Child Restraint System
must use the seat belts provided.
Most countries have regulations which
require children to travel in approved
Child Restraint Systems.
The laws governing the age or height/
weight restrictions at which seat belts
can be used instead of Child Restraint
System differs among countries, so you
should be aware of the specific require
-
ments in your country, and where you
are travelling.
Child Restraint Systems must be prop
-
erly installed in the vehicle seat. Always
use a commercially available Child
Restraint System that meets the require
-
ments of your country.
