As the car is not fitted with rear seats,
please note the following specifics on how
to transport children safely.
In addition, observe the general
instructions on child safety in the
Owner's Handbook for the MINI and MINI
Convertible.<
The proper location for children
In general, the passenger's seat is suitable
for the installation of universal child
restraint systems for all age groups, pro-
vided these have been approved for the age
group in question.
Should it become necessary to use a
child restraint system on the passen-
ger's seat, the passenger airbags must be
deactivated; otherwise there is a serious
risk of injury if the airbags are triggered
off.<
Additional information on deactivating the
passenger airbags, see Owner's Handbook
for the MINI and MINI Convertible.
