CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a collision, all passengers must
be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems. This is even more
important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC
Directive 2003/20/EC. Compared with adults, a child's head is
proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while
muscles and bone structure are not fully developed. Therefore, correct
restraint systems are necessary which are different from adult seat
belts.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally.
The results of research in relation to the best protection for children is
summarised in European Regulation EEC-R44, which divides the
restraint systems into five groups in addition to making their use
compulsory:
Group Weight groups
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data along with the
control mark on a label firmly secured to the child seat which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo includes child seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended having been specifically tested for
Alfa Romeo cars.
Do not arrange cradle child seats facing backwards if
the front passenger side airbag is enabled.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to always carry children in a child seat on
the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event
of a collision.
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat in a backwards-facing cradle seat, the
passenger's front and side air bags must be deactivated
through the Setup menu. Deactivation should be verified by
checking the warning light on the instrument panel.
The passenger seat must also be slid back as far as possible in order
to avoid the child seat from coming into contact with the dashboard.
