Introduction For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, we recommend that chil
-
dr

en under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children

The objective of this strap is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a crash, to reduce the risk of injuries to the head from
hitting the inside of the vehicle.

Currently, there are very few rear-facing child
safety seats that have Top Tether. Please
