CHILD SAFETY
In all countries there are regulations
governing
the
use
of
restraint
systems for children and babies.
In Europe children under 12 years
of age or smaller than 1.50 m
(1)
must
be seated in an approved safety
device which is suitable for the
weight and size of the child.
The
driver
is
responsible
for
ensuring that this equipment is
used correctly.
Remember that a collision at 30
mph (50 km/h) is the same as
falling
from
a
height
of
10 metres. Expressed in other
terms,
transporting
a
child
without
a
restraint
is
the
equivalent of allowing him or
her to play on a third-floor
balcony which does not have any
railings.
(1) Always comply with the laws of the
country in which you are travelling.
They
may
be
different
to
the
guidelines in this handbook.
Under no circumstances
should babies or children
be allowed to travel sitting
on
the
lap of
another
passenger in the car.
If a head-on collision occurs at 30
mph (50 km/h) a child weighing
30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed
into a missile equivalent to one
tonne: you will find it impossible
to hold the child, even if you
yourself are wearing a belt.
It is particularly dangerous to put
the belt round your child when he
or she is sitting on your lap. Never
use the belt for more than one
person at the same time.
Child restraints for which approval
was obtained after January 1992
offer a much higher level of safety
than those approved before that
date.
It is therefore advisable to select a
child restraint that complies with
European regulation ECE 44R03.
Restraints that comply with this
legislation must be marked with an
orange label bearing the letter
E
followed by a number (which
stands for the country where it is
type approved) and the year in
which
the
type
approval
was
granted.
According to the standard, child
restraints fall into 4 categories:
- under 10 kg or 22 lb
(0 - 9 months)
- under 13 kg or 28 lb
(0 - 24 months)
- from 9 to 18 kg or 20 to 40 lb
(9 - 48 months)
- from 15 to 36 kg or 33 to 80 lb
(4 - 12 years)
