CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 to 36 kg)
To protect the pelvis of children up
to 10 years of age, it is preferable to
use a three-point seat belt as well as
child seats.
This is a booster seat (figure 3) with
belt guides to ensure that the belt
will be worn flat over 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.
Place the headrest in the top position
to allow you to press the seatback of
the child seat firmly against the
vehicle seatback.
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.
The standard classifies the child
restraints in five categories:
Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg
Category 0+: 0 to 13 kg
Category 1 : 9 to 18 kg
Category 2 : 15 to 25 kg
Category 3 : 22 to 36 kg
