Child restraint system
3
The Vauxhall child restraint system is
designed specifically for your Vauxhall and
thus provides optimum safety for your child
in the event of impact. If a different child
safety seat is used, follow the
manufacturers’ instructions for fitting and
use.
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.
