• Please follow carefully these instructions
on how to assemble and fit the product.
The product must not be used by anybody
who has not read these instructions.
• Keep this instruction booklet for future use.
• Each country has different safety laws
and regulations for the transportation of
children in cars. For this reason, it is recom-
mended that you should contact your local
authority for further information.
• WARNING! According to car accident sta-
tistics, the rear seats of a car are generally
safer than the front seat: it is therefore rec-
ommended to fit the child car seat into the
rear seats of the car. In particular, the cen-
tral rear seat is the safest, if it is fitted with
a 3-point safety harness: in this event, it is
recommended to fit the child car seat into
the central rear seat of the car.
• WARNING! DANGER! Never fit this child car
seat into a front seat equipped with frontal
airbag. Fit the child car seat into the front
seat only if the frontal airbag has been de-
activated: check with the car manufacturer,
or in the car instructions manual, whether
the airbag can be deactivated.
• If the child car seat is fitted in the front seat
of the car (only if the frontal airbag is not
present or it has been deactivated), it is rec-
ommended to push the seat back as much
as possible, bearing in mind the comfort
of the passenger sitting in the seat directly
behind it.
• Never use this child car seat on side-facing
or rear-facing car seats.
• Fit the child car seat only in front-facing
seats that are correctly secured in the car.
Never leave folding or rotating car seats
unsecured, they may be a source of danger
in the event of an accident.
• Pay attention when fitting the child car
seat into the car to avoid that a mobile car
seat or car door may interfere with it.
• Never fit the child car seat into a car seat if it
is only equipped with a (2-points) lap belt.
• No child car seat can guarantee the total
safety of your child in the event of an ac-
cident, but the use of this product reduces
the risk of serious injuries or death.
• The risk of serious injuries to the child in-
creases, not only in the case of accidents,
but also in other circumstances (i.e.: sud-
den braking, etc.) if these instructions are
not followed carefully: always check that
the child car seat is secured correctly to the
car's seat.
• If the child car seat is damaged, deformed
or worn out, it must be replaced: it may
no longer comply with the original safety
standards.
• This product must not be modified in any
way, unless the modification is approved
by the manufacturer.
• Do not install accessories, spare parts or
components not supplied or approved by
the manufacturer.
• Never leave your child unattended in the
child car seat for any reason.
• To avoid the risk that the child may fall,
secure the child to the child car seat also
when carrying the child car seat by hand.
• When it is not used in the car, it is danger-
ous to place the child car seat onto raised
surfaces.
• Never leave the child car seat unsecured in
the car seat, it may hurt or injure the pas-
sengers.
• Do not insert anything between the car
seat and the child car seat, or between the
child car seat and the child, unless it is an
accessory approved by the manufacturer:
in case of accident the child car seat may
not operate correctly.
• In case the car is left under direct sunlight,
it is recommended to cover the child car
seat.
• An accident, even a minor incident, may
cause damages to the child car seat, which
are not visible to the naked eye: it is there-
fore necessary to replace the child car seat.
