Secur Securing syst ing systems f ems for c or child r hild res estrtraint syst aint systems in t ems in the he
vvehicle ehicle
Only use the following securing systems for child
restraint systems:
R
The LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings
R
The seat belt system of the vehicle
R
The Top Tether anchorages
Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint sys-
tem is preferred.
Simply attaching to the securing rings on the vehi-
cle can reduce the risk of installing the child
restraint system incorrectly.
When securing a child with the integrated seat belt
of the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system,
always comply with the permissible gross weight
for the child and child restraint system
( / page 41).
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children over
40 lbs (18 kg) in weight or until they reach a height
where a three-point seat belt can be fastened
properly without a booster seat.
Freightliner Sprinter recommends a child booster
seat with a backrest and seat belt guides.

ttem em
It is preferable to transport a baby or a small child
in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem. In this case, the child sits in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and faces back-
wards.
Babies and small children have comparatively
weak neck muscles in relation to the size and
weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cervi-
cal spine during an accident can be reduced in a
rearward-facing child restraint system.
