Using child seats Opel Astra H

According to the requirements of the Rules of the Road, children under 12 years of age must be transported in special child seats.

Information about the types of child seats and the places in the car in which they can be installed is presented below.

Legend:

U - a universal category of a child seat for planting a child both facing in the direction of the car, and against it.

UF - universal category of a child seat for planting a child facing in the direction of travel.

Warning:

Due to the lack of a front passenger airbag switch on Opel Astra cars, do not transport children in the front seat in a rear-facing child seat manufactured by any manufacturer other than Opel. Opel child seats are equipped with transponders that automatically deactivate the front passenger airbag when the child seat is installed.

Helpful Hints:

For added safety, place the child seat in the rear seat. Until the age of two, a child's neck is very fragile. Transport children in rear-facing basket seats. This position provides maximum safety. For transporting children from 2 to 4 years old, use an all-round seat that allows you to support the child with a special child seat belt or a special elastic cushion.

For children under 12, use a cushion-style child seat with belt guides to ensure that the seat belt slides over the child's thighs without twisting.

Warning:

Never hold a child on your lap in a moving vehicle.

Vehicle seat belts can be used to secure child seats.

In addition to belts, on order for Opel Astra cars, loops can be installed between the cushion and the back of the rear seat (the cushion is removed for clarity), into which the connecting connectors of the lower child seat mounts are inserted, equipped with their own Isofix-type fasteners.
