they are designed.

For safety reasons, child seats should always be fitted to the rear seats

Installing and using child
seats
.
Volkswagen recommends child seats from the Volkswagen range of accessories. These child seats
have been developed and approved for use in Volkswagen vehicles.
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at high speed.
• Do not use any objects, e.g. key rings, that could interfere with the deployment zone of
the knee airbag.
• Never secure any items on the cover or in the deployment zone of the knee airbag.
• The knee airbag is deployed in the area in front of the driver's knees. Adjust the driver
seat so there is at least a 10 cm gap between the knees and the location of the knee
airbag. Contact a qualified workshop if your physical build makes this impracticable.
