Since 1993, the road traffic regulations (StVO) have prescribed a so-called restraint device.
Children
up to the age of twelve or a height of 1.50 meters
must therefore sit in a child seat while driving.
This must also be suitable for the corresponding weight.
When buying a child seat, you should definitely weigh your child beforehand.
Group 1 applies from nine to 18 kilograms - this corresponds to an age of one to four years.
Baby seats * should always be aligned against the direction of travel.
This is important to protect the baby's neck, head and back in the event of an accident.
From the age of twelve months or a weight of 13 kilograms, however, the seat can be
placed facing forward
.

Buying a child seat: what you should consider
Approval
: The child seat should
comply with
the
latest test standard
.
This can be recognized by the test seal that is either attached to the seat itself or sewn onto the cover.
The number under the E must start with 04.
But child seats with the test standard ECE R 44/03 (the test number starts with 03) can still be used.
Only seats with test standard 01 or 02 may no longer be used.
In addition, the i-size standard also applies; this is not based on weight, but on the size of the child.
Isofix
: With the Isofix system, child seats are no longer attached to the upholstery of the back seat, but rigidly connected to the car body.
This offers even more security.
The Isofix system for attaching the child seat is missing, especially in older cars.
Recommendations from your vehicle manufacturer
: To avoid bad purchases, you should first consult the recommendation of your vehicle manufacturer.
For example, you should check the length of the belt, as these are too short for some child seats.
If you are buying a child seat for the first time, it makes sense to seek advice from a specialist dealer.
They can also help you install the child seat to ensure that the seat is tight and secure.
