The country in which you are driving could
require the use of child restraint systems
and specific seats. Follow all local and
national regulations.
Selecting the right system
Your child should be transported facing
rearward in the vehicle as long as possible.
Change the system when the height of
the child is such that the head extends over
the top of the system and is no longer
supported at eye level. The child’s neck
area is still very weak. In the event of an
accident, they are subjected to less stress in
the semi-prone rearward position than
when upright.

must only travel in an appropriate child
restraint system on the rear seats 3.

restraint systems suitable for the child’s
weight.
z Be sure that child restraint systems are
properly installed - see the instructions
accompanying the child restraint
system.
z The covers of the Vauxhall child restraint
system can be wiped clean.
z Do not stick anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover them
with any other materials.
z Only allow children to enter and exit at
the side facing away from the traffic.
z A child restraint system which has been
subjected to stress in an accident must
be replaced.
