Volkswagen ID.4: Securing a child restraint with a safety belt

If you plan to secure a child restraint using a safety belt in the Volkswagen ID.4, ensure that the child seat is approved for the selected seating position. This information can be found on the orange ECE approval label attached to the child restraint.

u: universal; x: seating position is not suitable for installing a child restraint of this type.

Securing a child restraint with a safety belt

1. Read and follow all safety instructions (→ Child restraints).

2. Adjust the height of the safety belt so that it fits naturally over the child restraint without sharp bends. For rear-facing seats, use the lowest belt height setting.

3. Route the safety belt according to the manufacturer’s instructions and pass it through the child restraint correctly.

4. Ensure that the safety belt is not twisted at any point.

5. Insert the buckle tongue into the appropriate buckle until it clicks securely into place.

Child restraints with "semi-universal" approval that require both a safety belt and a support leg must not be installed on the center rear seat of the Volkswagen ID.4.

For improved safety, always double-check that the child restraint is firmly secured and does not move excessively after installation in the Volkswagen ID.4.
