Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: General information on transporting children in the vehicle
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
Legislation and legal requirements take precedence over the descriptions in this owner's manual. Various standards and regulations control the use of child seats and methods for securing them (). For example, this could mean that in some countries you are not allowed to use child seats on certain seats in the vehicle.
The laws of physics, which come into force on a vehicle during a collision or any other kind of accident, also apply for children . In contrast to adults and teenagers, however, children's muscles and bones are not yet fully developed. There is a higher risk for children than for adults of sustaining serious injuries in an accident.
Children must be transported using child restraint systems specially suited to their size, weight and build as children's bodies are not yet fully developed. In many countries there are laws which require the use of approved child restraint systems for babies and small children.
Use only suitable, approved and authorised child seats in your vehicle. If you are unsure, always speak to your Volkswagen dealership or a qualified workshop.
