When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of

restraint systems, children are considered as adults and

have to wear the standard seat belts.

Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight group.

These devices are recommended, having been specifically

designed for Fiat cars.

CARRYING CHILDREN

SAFELY

For optimum protection in the event of a crash, all pas-

sengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint

systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all EU countries pur-

suant to Directive 2003/20/EC.

Compared with an adult, a child’s head is larger and heav-

ier in proportion to his/her body and the child’s muscu-

lar and bone structures are not fully developed. For this

reason, they require restraint systems which are differ-

ent from those used by adults to protect them in the event

of an accident. The result of research in relation to the

best protection for children is illustrated in European Reg-

ulation ECE-R44, which divides the restraint systems in-

to five groups in addition to making their use compulso-

ry:

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 child restraint devices must bear the certification da-

ta, together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed to

the seat label which must never be removed.

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards

on a cradle seat, which, by supporting the head, does

not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp de-

celeration.

The cradle is held in place by the car seat belts fig. 135 and

in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.
