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.
A child's head is larger and heavier than an adult's in
proportion to its body, while their muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed. Therefore,
correct restraint systems are necessary which are
different from adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child restraint
systems are contained in the European Standard
ECE-R44, which enforces the use of restraint
systems classified into five groups:
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
As you can see, the groups overlap partly and, in fact,
there are devices on sale that cover more than one
weight group.
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.
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.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint systems for
each weight group. These devices are recommended,
having been specifically designed for Fiat vehicles.
WARNING
Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side air bag is on. Deployment
of the air bag 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. If you need to carry a child
on the front passenger seat in a cradle seat
facing backwards, the passenger side air bags
(front and side bags, for versions/markets, where
provided) must be deactivated using the setup
menu. It is important to check the performed
deactivation on 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.
