Attention: The anatomical features of the structure of the child's body determine an increased risk of injury compared to adults when airbags are triggered!
In order to ensure the safety of transporting young and middle-aged children, special child seats and restraints should be used that are interfaced with the car's standard seat belts. Detailed instructions for the placement and installation of child seats should be attached to them - if necessary, contact the official representative offices of Opel for advice. When installing the child seat, strictly follow the instructions given in the instructions supplied with the product.
The list of special child seats recommended for use by Opel and how they can be installed in the car are specified in Specifications at the beginning of the chapter. Be careful, make sure that the purchased product is suitable both for your child and for installation on your car.
On models equipped with front passenger seat occupied recognition (see Section 13), only a special Opel child seat equipped with transponders can be installed on the latter. Attention: When the vehicle is equipped with a front passenger airbag and a side airbag without a front passenger seat occupancy recognition system, the installation of a child seat in which the child is facing the opposite direction of travel is not allowed in front!
On ISOFIX models, the rear seat outboards and the front passenger seat are equipped with child seat anchors. The brackets are located between the cushion and the seat back. Attention: ISOFIX seats are designed for children weighing no more than 22 kg! Strictly adhere to the instructions supplied with the product!
Always try to place your child in the REAR seat of the car and secure it properly using a child seat or a standard seat belt. According to accident statistics, the rear seat is safer for transporting children than the front. Deployment of airbags in a collision could cause serious injury or even death to a child.
When transporting children who are over the age for placing them in child seats, use special booster cushions to ensure that the shoulder section of the seat belt is correctly positioned (see Section 10).
