TRANSPORTING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For the best protection in the event
of a crash, all passengers must be
seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is especially relevant for chil-
dren.
A child’s head, in respect to that of
an adult, is larger and heavier in re-
lation to the body. Moreover the mus-
cular and bone structure is not fully
developed. For these reasons, children
require specific restraint systems, dif-
ferent to those required by adult pas-
sengers.
The results of research on the best
child restraint systems are contained
in the European Standard ECE-R44.
This Standard enforces the use of re-
straint systems classified in four
groups, (fig. 23):
Group 0
weight 0 - 10 kg
Group 1
weight 9 - 18 kg
Group 2
weight 15 - 25 kg
Group 3
weight 22 - 36 kg.
The groups partially overlap. This is
because there are systems which cover
more than one weight group.
All restraint systems must show ho-
mologation data and control marks on
a tag securely fastened to the system
and that cannot be removed.
Children weighing more than 36 kg
and taller than 1.5 m are, with refer-
ence to restraint systems, considered
adults and can wear normal seat belts.
We recommend using Lineaccessori
LANCIA child restraint systems for
each weight group as they have been
specifically designed for LANCIA ve-
hicles.
