indicates that the seat is unsafe for an occupant because it was not returned to its safe,
locked position. If the touchscreen or instrument panel displays the warning message, move
the seat or backrest slightly forward or backward until it locks firmly into position and the
message no longer displays.
Recommended Child Restraint Systems
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
on page 33) can be used in the rear
center passenger seat.

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.
Two Installation Methods
Note: Always install child restraint systems by following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system.
Among many other variants, there are two general types of child restraint systems based on how
they are secured in the seat:
•
Belt-based - secured using the vehicle’s seat belts (see
Installing Belt-based Child Restraint
on page 43).
•
ISOFIX/i-Size- secured to anchor bars built into the vehicle's seats (see
on page 43).
Some child restraint systems can be installed using either method. Refer to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint system to determine which installation method
to use and for detailed installation instructions.
In Model X, belt-based child restraints can be installed in any passenger seat and ISOFIX/i-Size
systems can be installed in either of the second row outboard seats. Specific details about the
type of child restraint system that can be used in each seat is provided next.
Note: ISOFIX and i-Size are international standards for integrated anchors used in passenger
vehicles to attach child safety seats.
