CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
Category 2 (from 15 to 25 kg)
and category 3 (from 22 to 36 kg)
To correctly restrain the pelvis of a
child up to 12 years of age, less than
1.50 m tall and weighing less than
36 kg, it is preferable to use seats
which can be combined with
three-point seat belts (figure 3) with
strap guides to ensure that the
three-point seat belt lies flat against
the child's thighs.
A booster seat with a height-
adjustable seatback and a belt guide
are recommended as this will allow
the belt to be worn as close to the
base of the neck as possible but not
on it.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle's headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child's stature; the upper edge of the
headrest must be at the same height
as the top of the child's head and
should never be lower than in line
with the child's eyes.
To faciliate fitting certain types
of child seat, we recommend that
you remove the head restraint
and place it in the luggage
compartment.
The
standard
classifies
child
restraints in five categories:
Category 0: from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs)
Category 0+: from 0 to 13 kg (0 to 28 lbs)
Category 1: from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs)
Category 2: from 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs)
Category 3: from 22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs)
