WARNING:
Before driving after installing a child seat in the second row, ensure that a "seat unlocked" warning
does NOT display at the bottom of the touchscreen. This warning indicates that the seat is unsafe for an
occupant because it was not returned to its safe, locked position. If the touchscreen displays the warning
message, push the seat slightly forward or backward until it locks firmly into position and the message no
longer displays.
Recommended Child Restraint Systems
Although all weight groups can occupy any passenger seat in Model X, the type of child restraint system that can be
used in each seat can vary. For example, only belt-based child restraint systems (as defined in
) can be used in the rear center seat.
Choose a child restraint system that meets one of: FMVSS 213, ECE R44, ECE R129, or AS/NZS 1754. For more
information about child seats, go to
www.govt.nz/browse/transport/car-seats-for-kids/
In the table below, Tesla provides recommended child restraint systems based a child's weight group (as defined in
ECE R44 “Uniform Provisions Concerning Restraining Devices for Child Occupants"). Although all weight groups can
occupy any passenger seat in Model X, the type of child restraint system that can be used in each seat can vary. For
example, only belt-based child restraint systems (as defined in
Two Installation Methods on page 36
) can be used
in the rear center passenger seat.

WARNING:
To ensure safety of infants and children, it is advisable to purchase a new child restraint system.
However, if a used child restraint system is necessary, heed these warnings:
• Do not use a child restraint system that is more than 10 years old.
• Confirm that the child restraint system was not being used in a vehicle that was involved in a collision.
• Ensure that all components (buckles, etc.) of the child restraint system operate smoothly and there are no
signs of wear or damage (splits, cracks etc.).
• Ensure the harnesses on the child restraint system are not frayed, worn or damaged
• Ensure the child restraint system has an instruction manual.
Seating Larger Children
If a child is too large to fit into a child restraint system, but too small to be safely secured using the vehicle's seat
belts, use a booster seat appropriate for the child’s age and size. For children needing a booster seat, Tesla
recommends using the base of the Peg Perego Viaggio 2-3 Shuttle. When using and installing a booster seat,
carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
