General points relating to child seats

~1min read

Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.

For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:

- in accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.

PEUGEOT recommends that children should travel in the outer rear seats of your vehicle:

- "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the age of 2.
