76 - Getting to know your vehicle
Choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
Ababy’sheadis,proportionally,
heavier than that of an adult and its
neck is very fragile. Transport the child
in this position as long as possible
(until the age of 2 at the very least). It
supports both the head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best
side protection and change it as soon
asthechild’sheadishigherthanthe
shell.
Forward-facing child seats
Up to 18 kg or 4 years, the child may
travel on a forward-facing seat.
Choose a seat according the child's
size: their head and abdomen are the
areas which require most protection. A
forward-facing child seat which is
firmly attached to the vehicle will
reduce the risk of impact to the head.
Ensure your child travels in a forward-
facing seat with a harness for as long
as their size permits.

Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted to
suit his size and shape. The booster
seat cushion must be fitted with guides
topositiontheseatbeltonthechild’s
thighs rather than the stomach. It is
recommended that you use a seatback
which can be adjusted in terms of
height to position the seat belt in the
centre of the shoulder. It must never
rest on the neck or on the arm.
