Maserati Spyder Owner's Manual page 25

The structure of a child's body
is completely different from
adult's or a teenager's (who
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. Even children must always be
protected by suitable restraining
systems.
When installing the child seat,
the car seat must be
positioned completely
backwards and downwards. This is
indispensable for guaranteeing the
maximum protection of the child.
All minors whose physical
characteristics (age, height, weight)
meet the limit values provided by the
established legislation in each country
must be protected by special restraint
or safety systems (certified child seats,
cradles, cushions).
Make sure to use certified universal
child restraining systems.
Follow the manufacturer's installation
and user instructions for child
restraining systems, as supplied with
the equipment itself.
To guarantee the best
restraining function of the
child seat, we advise to
choose the model which better suits
the passenger seat shapes. Before
purchasing a child seat, we
recommend to try installing it on your
car.
In the event of an accident , a
badly fastened child
restraining system increases
the risk of injury.
