Alfa Romeo Stelvio (2018 year). Manual — part 31
Warning!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become a projectile inside the vehicle.The
force required to hold even an infant on your
lap could become so great that you could not
hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be badly injured or
killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.
There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn size
to the child almost large enough for an
adult safety belt. Always check the child
seat Owner’s Manual to make sure you
have the correct seat for your child.
Carefully read and follow all the
instructions and warnings in the child
restraint Owner’s Manual and on all the
labels attached to the child restraint.
Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certifying
that it meets all applicable Safety
Standards. You should also make sure
that you can install it in the vehicle where
you will use it.

SAFETY
Infant And Child Restraints
Safety experts recommend that children
ride rear-facing in the vehicle until they
are two years old or until they reach
either the height or weight limit of their
rear-facing child restraint.Two types of
child restraints can be used rear-facing:
infant carriers and convertible child
seats.
The infant carrier is only used rear-facing
in the vehicle. It is recommended for
children from birth until they reach the
weight or height limit of the infant carrier.
Convertible child seats can be used either
rear-facing or forward-facing in the
vehicle. Convertible child seats often
have a higher weight limit in the
rear-facing direction than infant carriers
do, so they can be used rear-facing by
children who have outgrown their infant
carrier but are still less than at least two
years old. Children should remain
rear-facing until they reach the highest
weight or height allowed by their
convertible child seat.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.
Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing
convertible child seat can ride
forward-facing in the vehicle.
Forward-facing child seats and
convertible child seats used in the
forward-facing direction are for children
who are over two years old or who have
outgrown the rear-facing weight or
height limit of their rear-facing
convertible child seat. Children should
remain in a forward-facing child seat with
a harness for as long as possible, up to
the highest weight or height allowed by
the child seat.
All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-positioning
booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts
fit properly. If the child cannot sit with
knees bent over the vehicle’s seat
cushion while the child’s back is against
the seatback, they should use a
belt-positioning booster seat.The child
and belt-positioning booster seat are
held in the vehicle by the seat belt.
Warning!
Improper installation can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. It could come
loose in a collision.The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s directions exactly when
installing an infant or child restraint.
After a child restraint is installed in the
vehicle, do not move the vehicle seat
forward or rearward because it can loosen
the child restraint attachments. Remove the
child restraint before adjusting the vehicle
seat position. When the vehicle seat has
been adjusted, reinstall the child restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use,
secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or
LATCH anchorages, or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In
a sudden stop or accident, it could strike the
occupants or seatbacks and cause serious
personal injury.

Children Too Large For Booster
Seats
Children who are large enough to wear
the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose
legs are long enough to bend over the
front of the seat when their back is
against the seatback, should use the seat
belt in a rear seat. Use this simple 5-step
test to decide whether the child can use
the vehicle’s seat belt alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back
against the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably
over the front of the vehicle seat – while
the child is still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the
child’s shoulder between their neck and
arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s thighs and
not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for
the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions
was “no,” then the child still needs to use a
booster seat in this vehicle. If the child is
using the lap/shoulder belt, check seat
belt fit periodically and make sure the
seat belt buckle is latched. A child’s
squirming or slouching can move the belt
out of position. If the shoulder belt
contacts the face or neck, move the child
closer to the center of the vehicle, or use
a booster seat to position the seat belt
on the child correctly.
Warning!
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a crash,
the shoulder belt will not protect a child
properly, which may result in serious injury or
death. A child must always wear both the lap
and shoulder portions of the seat belt
correctly.

SAFETY
Lower Anchors And Tethers For
CHildren (LATCH) Restraint System
Your vehicle is equipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called
LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors
andTethers for CHildren.The LATCH
system has three vehicle anchor points
for installing LATCH-equipped child
seats.There are two lower anchorages
located at the back of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback and one top
tether anchorage located behind the
seating position.These anchorages are
used to install LATCH-equipped child
seats without using the vehicle’s seat
belts. Some seating positions may have a
top tether anchorage but no lower
anchorages. In these seating positions,
the seat belt must be used with the top
tether anchorage to install the child
restraint. Please see the following table
for more information.

Restraints In This Vehicle
Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH
What is the weight limit (child’s weight +
weight of the child restraint) for using the
LATCH anchorage system to attach the child
restraint?
65 lbs (29.5 kg)
Use the LATCH anchorage system until the
combined weight of the child and the child
restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt
and tether anchor instead of the LATCH
system once the combined weight is more than
65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Can the LATCH anchorages and the seat belt
be used together to attach a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint?
No
Do not use the seat belt when you use the
LATCH anchorage system to attach a
rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint.
Booster seats may be attached to the LATCH
anchorages if allowed by the booster seat
manufacturer. See your booster seat owner’s
manual for more information.
