Maserati GRANCABRIO Owner's Manual page 26

Babies must be supported
completely, including their
head and neck. This is
necessary since a baby's neck is weak
while their head is proportionally
bigger and heavier in relation to
their body. In a collision, if a baby is
travelling in a rearward-facing child
2
seat, the impact forces are distributed
through the more solid parts of the
body, i.e. the back and shoulders.
Babies must always be protected by
a suitable restraining system when
travelling.
Children cannot be carried
using a rearward-facing child
seat fi tted on a passenger
seat protected by a front airbag,
unless the said airbag is deactivated.
Deactivate the airbag before
fi tting a rearward-facing
child seat on the front
passenger seat.

The structure of a child
body is completely different
from that of an adult or a
teenager (whom the seat belts are
designed for). A child's hips are so
small that seat belt will not stay in
the correct position on them. The belt
may rise up on the child's stomach
and, in the event of a collision, cause
serious internal injuries. Children
must always be protected by suitable
restraining systems.
If a child seat is installed on
the front passenger's seat,
this must be positioned as
high as possible and the seatback
must be fully upright. All this is
essential to help ensure maximum
safety for children.
All minors whose physical
characteristics (i.e. age, height,
weight) fall within the limit values
provided for by the established
legislation in each country must be
protected by suitable and approved
restraint or safety systems (e.g.
certifi ed child seats, cradles, cushions).
Make sure to use certifi ed universal
child restraining systems.
Follow the instructions that the
Manufacturer of the devices is
required to supply when installing
and using a child restraint systems.
A maximum of three child seats may
be positioned in the vehicle: one on
the front passenger seat (universal
type only) and two on the rear
passenger seat (Isofi x type only).
