weighing between 9 and 18 kg (ranging
approximately between 9 - 12 months
and 3 years of age), and conforms to the
European ECE R44/04 Regulation on child
restraint systems.

den braking, etc.) if these instructions are

• This product is expressly intended to be
used only as a car seat; it cannot therefore
be used indoors.
• No car seat can guarantee the total safety
of your child in the event of accidents, but
the use of this product reduces the risk of
