Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
being adhered to.
When using a child restraint system, be sure to
observe the manufacturer's installation and
operating instructions as well as its correct use
and the suitability of the seats for attaching a
child restraint system.
ISOFIX is a standardized securing system for
specially designed restraint systems. LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems are
approved in accordance with ECE R44.
Only child restraint systems that have been
approved in accordance with ECE R44 may be
attached to LATCH-type (ISOFIX) mounting
brackets.

WARNING Risk of‑ injury or death if the
maximum permissible gross mass for
using a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system is exceeded
For LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint sys‐
tems in which the child is secured using the
integrated seat belt integrated in the child
restraint system, the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is
73 lb (33 kg).
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than 73 lb (33 kg), the
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system
with integrated seat belt does not offer suffi‐
cient protection. An excessive load may be
placed on the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat
attachments and the child may not be
restrained in the event of an accident, for
example.

If the child and the child restraint sys‐
tem together weigh more than 73 lb
