CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event
of a crash, all passengers must be
seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is even more important for chil-
dren.
According to 2003/20/EC Directive,
this prescription is compulsory for all
European Community countries.
Compared with adults, their head is
proportionally larger and heavier than
the rest of the body, while the mus-
cles and bone structure are not com-
pletely developed. Therefore, correct
restraint systems are necessary, other
then adult seat belts.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 five groups:
Group 0 - 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ - 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weightAll restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control brand, on a solidly fixed label
which must absolutely never be re-
moved.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and
wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for
each weight group, which are the rec-
ommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifically
for Fiat cars.

closed with the specific child re-
straint system you are using.
GROUPS 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event
of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is restrained by the car
seat belts, as shown infig. 12and in
turn it must restrain the child with its
own belts. SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child’s seats on
the front passenger seat of cars fitted with passenger’s
air bag. The air bag activation could cause serious injuries,
even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on the rear seats,
as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash. In any case,
children’s seats must absolutely not be fitted on the front seat of cars
with passenger’s air bag, which during inflation could cause serious in-
jury, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that trig-
gered it. Children may be placed on the front seat of cars fitted with
passenger’s air bag deactivation. In this case, it is absolutely necessary
to check the warning light
Fon the cluster to make sure that deacti-
vation has actually taken place (see paragraph “Passenger’s front air
bag” at item “Front air bags”). The front passenger’s seat shall be ad-
justed in the most backward position to prevent any contact between
child’s seat and dashboard.

GROUP 1
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight,
children may be carried facing for-
wards, with seats fitted with front
cushion fig. 13, through which the car
seat belt restrains both child and seat.Seats exist which are
suitable for covering
weight groups 0 and 1
with a rear connection to the car
belts and their own belts to re-
straint the child. Due to their
size, they can be dangerous if in-
stalled incorrectly fastened to
the car belts with a cushion.
Carefully follow the instructions
for installation provided with the
seat.

GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 22 kg in
weight, children may be restrained di-
rectly by the car belts. The only func-
tion of the seat is to position the child
correctly in relation to the belts, so
that the diagonal part adheres to the
chest and not to the neck and that the
horizontal part clings to the child’s
pelvis and not the abdomen fig. 14.

COMPLIANCE WITH
REGULATIONS ON CHILD’S
SEAT USE
Fiat 600 complies with the new
2000/3/EC Directive regulating child’s
seat assembling on the different car
seats according to the table on next
page.Key for the table on next page.
U = suitable for child restraint systems of the
“Universal” category, according to Euro-
pean Standard ECE R44 for the specified
“Groups”.
(*) No child’s seat can be installed on the rear
seat with lap belt (without reel).

19GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for car-
rying children:
1) The recommended position for
installing children’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in the
case of a crash.
Never fit child restraint
systems in the front pas-
senger seat in cars with
passenger airbag, children must
never be seated on front seats.2) If the passenger’s air bag is deac-
tivated always check the warning light
Fon the cluster to make sure that
it has actually been deactivated.
3) Attain to the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint sys-
tem which you are using. These in-
structions must be provided by the
manufacturer. Keep the child restraint
system installation instructions with
the car documents and this Hand-
book. Never use a child restraint sys-
tem without installation instructions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.5) Only one child is to be strapped
to each retaining system.
6) Always check the seat belts do
not fit around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
8) Passengers should never carry
children on their laps. No-one, how-
ever strong they are, can hold a child
in the event of a crash.
9) In case of an accident, replace the
seat with a new one.

Press the two buttons to remove.
Remember that the
head restraints should be

sition will they be able to provide
effective protection in the event
of a rear-end shunt.
