Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual / Sitting correctly and safely / Child seats (accessories) / Using a child seat on the rear seats

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

When fitting a child seat to a rear seat, the position of the front seat must be adjusted to ensure that the child has sufficient space. Adjust the front seat according to the size of the child seat and child. Ensure that the front passenger can still maintain a correct sitting position .

Suitable child seats

The child seat must have been approved by the manufacturer for use on the rear bench seat with side airbag or combined curtain and side airbag.

Universal child seats in groups 0, 0+, 1, 2, or 3 as specified in ECE-R 44 can be fitted to the rear seats.

The outer seats are suitable for child seats with the ISOFIX system which are specially approved for this vehicle type by ECE-R 44.

Some child restraint systems have a support foot which rests on the vehicle floor. Child restraint systems with support foot may only be used on the outer seats on the rear bench seat. Child restraint systems with foot supports may not be used on the middle seat of the rear bench seat.

ISOFIX child seats approved for use on rear seats

There are different categories of ISOFIX child seats: universal, semi-universal and vehicle-specific.

If the ISOFIX child seat has universal approval, the child seat must be fastened with the lower anchoring points and the top tether.

If ISOFIX child seats have semi-universal or vehicle-specific approval, a check must be made prior to use in order to find out whether the child seat has been approved for the vehicle. For this purpose, the child-seat manufacturer supplies the ISOFIX child seat with a list of vehicles for which the respective ISOFIX child seat has been approved. If necessary, contact the child seat manufacturer for an up-to-date list of vehicles.

WARNING

Any child in a child seat on the rear bench seat may sustain fatal injuries if they play with lockable seat belts that are not in use.

Always secure any lockable seat belts on the rear bench seat that are not in use.
