Group 0 And 0+; Group 1 - Alfa Romeo 147 Owner's Manual

The results of research on the best pro-
tection for a child are summarised in Euro-
pean Standard ECE-R44, which in addition
to making them compulsory, subdivides re-
straint systems into five groups:
Group 0 - until 10 kg in weight
Group 0+ - until 13 kg in weight

Group 1

9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weight
As it may be noted, the groups partially
overlap and in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group (fig. 47).
All the restraint devices must bear the ho-
mologation data, together with the control
brand, on a solidly fixed label which must
absolutely not be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are con-
sidered as adults and wear belts normally.
The Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo includes
seats for each weight group, which are the
recommended choice because they have
been designed and specifically experiment-
ed for Alfa Romeo cars.

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried fac-
ing behind (fig. 48) on a cradle seat,
which supprting the head, does not induce
strain on the neck in the event of sharp de-
celeration.
The cradle is restrained by the car safety
belts, as illustrated, and it should in turn
restrain the child with the belts incorporat-
ed on it.
WARNING
The illustration is indicative
only for assembly. Assem-
ble the seat according to the com-
pulsory instructions provided with
it.

both child and seat.
