1. Child seat use is mandatory for children below the age of 6.

Seat belts are made for adult use. Therefore, if children use the seat belt instead of a child seat they will not be properly protected in the event of a collision, and there is the risk of major neck or other body parts injuries.

Let’s choose child seats according to their characteristics.

2. Let’s settle the children on back seats when possible.

On passenger’s seat, there are cases in which the airbag opening may cause injuries to the child. If you place the child seat on the passenger’s seat, push it backwards and place the infant seat facing forward. It is dangerous to place the child seat facing backward.

The airbag is a safety device to reduce harm to passengers in case of a collision. Therefore, since they were developed for adults, they don’t work properly for toddlers, and may cause injuries.

3. Let’s use the infant seats accordingly to country’s safety criteria.

Child seats that do not meet country’s criteria cannot properly protect the child in case of a collision.

Child seats meeting country’s safety criteria contain the following indications. (all are examples)

*Products containing numbers beyond “43” are also compatible products.
