Children should always be in the rear

Accident research shows that the safest place for children is on the rear seat.

Transport children younger than 13 years Transporting children in the rear
Transport children younger than 13 years of age or shorter than 5 ft/150 cm on the 2nd row seats only, using child restraint fixing systems suitable for the age, weight, and height of the child. Otherwise, there is the increased danger of injury in an accident.

Children 13 years of age or older must wear a safety belt as soon as a suitable child restraint fixing system can no longer be used, due to their age, weight and size.◀
