DS 3: Safety / i-Size child seats. Installing child seats

i-Size child seats

i-Size child seats have two latches that are anchored to the two rings A.

These i-Size child seats also have:

• either an upper strap that is attached to ring B.
• or a support leg that rests on the vehicle floor, compatible with the approved i-Size seat position.

Their role is to prevent the child seat from tipping forward in the event of a collision.

For more information on the ISOFIX mountings, refer to the corresponding section.
