Recommended Child Restraint Systems
In the table below, Tesla provides recommended child restraint systems based a child's weight
group (as defined in ECE R44 “Uniform Provisions Concerning Restraining Devices for Child
Occupants"). Although all weight groups can occupy any passenger seat in Model 3, the type of
child restraint system that can be used in each seat can vary. For example, only belt-based child
restraint systems (as defined in Two Installation Methods on page 31) can be used in the front
passenger seat. For details, see Front Passenger Seat on page 32, Rear Outboard Seats on page
34, and Rear Center Seat on page 35.

Seating Larger Children
If a child is too large to fit into a child restraint system, but too small to be safely secured using
the vehicle's seat belts, use a booster seat appropriate for the child’s age and size. For children
needing a booster seat, Tesla recommends using the base of the Peg Perego Viaggio 2-3 Shuttle.
When using and installing a booster seat, carefully follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
Two Installation Methods
Note: Always install child restraint systems by following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system.
Among many other variants, there are two general types of child restraint systems based on how
they are secured in the seat:
• Belt-based - secured using the vehicle’s seat belts (see Installing Belt-based Child Restraint
Systems on page 36).
• ISOFIX/i-Size - secured to anchor bars built into the vehicle's seats (see Installing ISOFIX/i-
Size Child Restraint Systems on page 36).
Some child restraint systems can be installed using either method or using both methods. Refer to
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint system to determine which
installation method to use and for detailed installation instructions.
In Model 3, belt-based systems can be installed in any passenger seat and ISOFIX/i-Size systems
can be installed in either of the rear outboard seats. Specific details about the type of child
restraint system that can be used in each seat is provided next.
