Where to put the restraint
Warning
It is safest for children to be
seated in the rear seat.
Only child restraints that have
clips to attach to the vehicle’s
anchorage tting (as shown in
the following illustrations) are
to be used. Earlier types of
child restraints may not attach
securely to this type of anchor.
Use only Standards Australia
and New Zealand approved child
restraints and harnesses. Only
purchase a child restraint which
carries the appropriate Standards
Australia sticker of approval.
Australian States and Territories
and New Zealand have laws
restricting the seating of children
in the front passenger seat. In
most jurisdictions, children under
4 years should not be seated in
the front passenger seat. Check
your local road safety regulations
before seating a child in the
front seat.
Where legally allowable, you
may install a forward-facing child
restraint in the front seat, but
always move the passenger seat
as far back as it will go.
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly tted
child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to
be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses, or for attaching
other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
Note
If unsure about installing a child
restraint, contact an approved
restraint tting station or a Holden
Dealer.
ISOFIX child restraint systems
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
mounting brackets.
Note Ensure that seat belt buckles
are placed out of the way of the child
seat.
ISOFIX mounting brackets are
indicated by a label on the seatback,
as shown. In addition to the ISOFIX
mounting, fasten the top-tether
straps to the top-tether anchorage
points. See Top-tether child restraint
systems on page 40.
