CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a collision, all
passengers must be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
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 research results in relation to the best
protection for children is illustrated in European
Regulation ECE-R44 which divides the restraint
systems into five groups in addition to making their
use compulsory:
Group
Group 0
Group 0+
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Weight groups
up to 10 kg of weight
up to 13 kg of weight
9-18 kg in weight
15-25 kg in weight
22-36 kg of weight
