FITTING “UNIVERSAL” CHILD SEAT
(with seat belts)
GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 99
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 deceleration. The cradle is restrained
by the car seat belts, as shown in the diagram, and in turn it must
restrain the child with its own belts.
fig. 99A0K0014mfig. 100A0K0129m
The diagrams are indicative and provided for as-
sembly purposes only. Fit the child seat according to
the instructions that must be supplied with the seat.
GROUP 1 fig. 100
From 9 to 18 kg of weight, children may be carried facing forward.
There are seats with Isofix hooks which enable se-
cure fastening to the seat without using the car’s
seat belts.

which can be used only if specifically designed, tested and approved
for this car (see car list provided with the child seat).

INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ISOFIX CHILD SEAT
Couple the child seat to the specific lower metallic rings B-fig. 104
positioned inside the rear seat backrest (lift the hinge A upwards
to access the rings) and then fix the upper belt (provided with
the seat) to the upper couplings C-fig. 105 located on the back
of the backrest.
Systems can be fitted along side a traditional child seat “Univer-
sal Isofix”. Remember that when using a Universal Isofix child seat,
you can only use approved seats with the marking ECE R44/03
“Universal Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child seat and the special “G 0/1 S”
seat are available from Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo. For any further
installation/details on usage, refer to the “Instruction Manual” sup-
plied with the child seat.
fig. 104A0K0109mfig. 105A0K0108m
Fit the child seat when the car is stationary. The
child seat is correctly anchored to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that the child seat
manufacturer must supply.
