The results of research on the best
child restraint systems are contained
in the European Standard ECE-
R44. This Standard enforces the use
of restraint systems classified in five
groups:
Group 0 - weight 0-10 kg
Group 0+ - weight 0-13 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
(fig. 76).
All restraint systems must show
homologation data and control
markings on a tag which is solidly
fastened to the system and cannot be
removed.
Children weighing more than 1.5
m are, with reference to restrain sys-
tems, considered adults and can
wear normal seat belts.
We recommend using Lineaccessori
Lancia child restraint systems for
each weight group. These systems
were specifically designed and tested
for Lancia cars.
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg are to be seated
in a cot type seat supporting the
child’s head facing backwards. This
ensures there is no stress on the
child’s neck in sudden decelerations.
The cot is secured with the seat
belts. Furthermore, the child must
be strapped to the cot (fig. 77).
The figure is only an
example. Follow the
instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system
you are using.
