CHILD SAFETY (continued)
Category2(15kg(33lbs)to
25 kg (55 lbs)) and category 3
(22 kg (48 lbs) to 36 kg (79 lbs))
For correctly maintaining the pelvis
of a child under 10 years, a height
under 1.36 m and a weight of less
than 36 kg (79 lbs), it is preferable to
use a raised seat with belt guides
that ensure that the three-point belt
lies flat over the child's thighs.
A booster seat with a
height-adjustable seatback and a
belt guide are recommended as this
will allow the belt to be worn as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
Place the headrest in the top
position to allow you to press the
seatback of the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seatback.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle's headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child's stature; the upper edge of the
headrest must be at the same height
as the top of the child's head and
should never be lower than in line
with the child's eyes.
The standard classifies the child
restraints in five categories:
Category0 :0to10kg(0to22lbs)
Category 0+: 0 to 13 kg (0 to 29 lbs)
Category 1 : 9to18kg(20to40lbs)
Category 2 :
15kgto25kg(33to55lbs)
Category 3 : 22kgto36kg(48to79lbs)
