the manufacturer’s instructions.

the child seat/restraint is modified
in any way.
Do not hold a child on your
lap when the vehicle is
moving.

restraint raised when a child
restraint is being installed or
occupying the seat, provided

seat.
Child restraints for different
mass groups
The correct restraint to be used
depends on the child’s weight and
age:
• Baby Safety Seat
Babies under 13 kg
(approximately 18 months) are
best protected if properly
restrained in rearward facing baby
safety seats in the rear seat.
• Child Safety Seat
Children weighing between 13 and
18 kg (approximately 18 months to
four years old) should be carried
