CHILD SAFETY (continued)
Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 to 36 kg)
To correctly restrain the pelvis of a
child up to 12 years of age, less than
1.50 m tall and weighing less than
36 kg, it is preferable to use seats
which can be combined with
three-point seat belts (figure 3) with
strap guides to ensure that the
three-point seat belt lies flat against
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
restraints in five categories:
Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg
(0 to 22 lbs)
Category 0+: from 0 to 13 kg
(0 to 28 lbs)
Category 1 : from 9 to 18 kg
(20to40lbs)
Category 2 : from 15 to 25 kg
(33to55lbs)
Category 3 : from 22 to 36 kg
(48to80lbs)
