Only use the following securing systems for child
restraint systems:

Fitting an ISOFIX or an i-Size child restraint sys-
tem is preferred.
Simply attaching to the securing rings on the vehi-
cle can reduce the risk of tting the child restraint
system incorrectly.

AAdv dvant antag age of a r e of a rearw earwar ard-f d-facing c acing child r hild res estrtraint sy aint sys- s-
ttem em
It is preferable to transport a baby or a small child
in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem. In this case, the child sits in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and faces back-
wards.
Babies and small children have comparatively
weak neck muscles in relation to the size and
weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer-
vical spine during an accident can be reduced in a
rearward-facing child restraint system.
