Kia Optima: Child seat anchorage position
For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is strongly recommended. This child seat or infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. It is further recommended that the seat be placed in the vehicle’s rear seat since this can make an important contribution to safety. Your vehicle is provided with three child restraint hook holders on the package tray behind the rear seat for installing the child seat or infant seat.
