124 Safety systems
Child restraint systems
3
The Vauxhall child restraint system is
designed specifically for your Vauxhall and
thus provides optimum safety for your child
in the event of impact. If a different child
safety seat is used, follow the
manufacturers’ instructions for fitting and
use.
The country in which you are travelling
may not permit the use of child restraint
systems on certain seats. Always comply
with the local or national regulations.
Selecting the right system
Your child should be transported facing
rearward in the car as long as possible.
Change the system when the height of the
child is such that the head extends over the
top of the system and is no longer
supported at eye level. The child’s cervical
vertebrae are still very weak. In the event of
an accident, they are subjected to less
stress in the semi-prone rearward position
than when upright.
