Child seats according to the standard ECE-R 44 of
the European Economic Commission.
Child seats according to standard ECE-R 44 are
marked with the test symbol: large E in a circle, with
the test number under it.
We recommend using child seats from the ŠKODA
Genuine Accessories range. These child seats have
been developed and tested for use in ŠKODA vehi-
cles. They comply with the standard ECE-R 44.
The following instructions must be followed when
using a child seat on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
When installing the child seat on a seat in the sec-
ond or third row of seats, adjust the corresponding
seat in front so that there is no contact between
the child seat and the seat in front, or the child be-
ing carried in the child seat.
Before installing a forward-facing child seat, adjust
the headrest so that it is as low as possible.
If the head restraint prevents the child seat from
being fitted, then the head restraint must be re-
moved.
▶
When using a rear-facing child seat, the front pas-
senger airbag must be deactivated.
If possible, adjust the front passenger seat back-
rest so that it is vertical, to ensure that there is se-
cure contact between the backrest and the child
seat.
If possible, move the front passenger seat back-
wards so that there is no contact between the
front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
Adjust the height-adjustable front passenger seat
as much as possible.

After removing the child seat, reinstall the head-
rest.
When installing the child seat, avoid contact with
the area of the roof and the rear pillar. There is a
risk of injury when the head airbag is deployed.
If using a separate child seat cushion, adjust the
headrest so that the child's head is flush with, but
not protruding above the height of the top edge of
the headrest.
Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as pos-
sible.

WARNING
Risk of the seat belt causing a neck injury to the
transported child!
For child seats in groups 2 and 3, ensure that the
guide fitting attached to the child seat headrest is
positioned in front of or at the same height as the
seat belt height adjuster on the central body pillar.
Adjust the height of the front passenger seat belt
so that the belt passes through the guide fitting
without kinking and is not bent over the edge of
the guide fitting.

Using a child seat on the front passenger seat
When using a child seat on the passenger seat, any
country-specific regulations must be observed.
WARNING
Never use a child seat in which the child is carried
with his or her back to the direction of travel on a
seat protected by an active airbag placed in front of
the seat. This could cause serious injury to the child,
even death.
As soon as the rear-facing child seat is no longer
being used on the front passenger seat, activate
the front passenger airbag again.
