Side airbag and child seat – how does that work?
In contrast to front airbags on front passenger seats (these must always be deactivated when a group 0+, rearward facing infant carrier is placed on the front passenger seat), an inflated side airbag is quite flat, and rarely comes into contact with the child seats. Therefore, if your child is correctly secured in the child seat and cannot lean out of it (this normally applies to both infant carriers and group 1 seats), there is no danger from side airbags. For older children, to prevent the child from falling to the side when it is asleep, we strongly recommend the use of a booster seat with a backrest and lateral support.
