CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of a collision,
all passengers must be seated and wearing
adequate restraint systems.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
This is even more important for children.
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.
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 in weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weight
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. 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 Lancia includes
child seats for each weight group. These devices
are recommended having been specifically
designed for Lancia cars.
WARNING
Do not arrange cradle child seats
facing backwards if
the front air bag
on the passenger's side is enabled.
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.
