Instructions for the correct use of child safety seats

• Group 0+: For babies with a weight of up to 13 kilogramme
• Group 1: For toddlers with a weight of up 9 to 18 kilogramme
• Groups 2+3: For children with a weight of 15 to 36 kilogramme

A crash at km/h without child safety seat is equivalent to a free fall from a height of 10 meter. A collision at only 15 km/h without child safety seat can be fatal for children. Without a child safety seat, the risk of death is seven times higher than with a child safety seat that has been installed correctly.
