							Child Restraints

Ch ild RestraintsCHILD SAFETY SEATS
Seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for 
adults and larger children. For their safety, it is 
very important that all infants and young 
children are restrained in a suitable child safety 
seat appropriate to their age and size (see 
table). Child safety seats approved for use in 
your vehicle are available from Land Rover 
dealers.
Only fit a child safety seat of a type approved for 
the specific seating positions in your vehicle 
(see table), and ensure the seat manufacturer’s 
fitting instructions are followed exacly.
Vehicles fitted with a passenger airbag
For optimum safety, children should travel in 
the rear of the vehicle at all times; front 
passenger seat travel is NOT recommended. 
However, if a passenger airbag is fitted and it is 
essential that a child travel in the front, set the 
seat fully rearward and seat the child in an 
approved, FORWARD FACING child seat. DO 
NOT use a rear facing child seat - an inflating 
airbag could impact with the seat and cause 
serious injury to the child!The above symbol affixed to the passenger side 
fascia panel of your vehicle, warns against the 
use of a REAR FACING child seat in the front 
passenger seat, when a passenger airbag is 
fitted. This type of child seat could cause 
serious injury to a child in the event of an airbag 
deployment.
WARNING
DO NOT install a rearward facing child seat in 
a passenger seat equipped with an airbag 
system. Failure to follow this advice could 
result in serious injury, or even death for the 
child in the event of airbag deployment.
