INTENDED USE OF BOTH THE ITEM AND
THE VEHICLE SEAT, RESTRICTIONS AND RE-
QUIREMENTS
CAUTION! Please read and observe the fol-
lowing instructions very carefully. They refer
to both the child car seat and the vehicle seat.
Failure to comply with the instructions herein
may affect your child's safety.
• The child car seat is intended for children
weighing between 9 kg and 18 kg.
• The child car seat may be fi tted to the front
passenger seat or any rear seat, always in a
front-facing position. Never use this child
car seat on side-facing or rear-facing car
seats (Fig. 4).
• The car seat must be fi tted with a 3-point
static or 3-point retractor safety belt, type
approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16, or
other equivalent standards (Fig. 5).
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 fi t the child car seat onto the
vehicle's rear seats. In particular, the central
rear seat is the safest, if it is equipped with a
3-point safety harness: in this event, it is rec-
ommended to fi t the child car seat into the
vehicle's central rear seat.
If the child car seat is fi tted onto the front
seat of the car, it is recommended to push
the seat back as much as possible, bearing in
mind the comfort of the passenger sitting in
the seat directly behind it, and, to then adjust
the backrest in the most vertical position. If
the car is equipped with a safety belt height
adjuster, fi x it in the lowest position. Then
check that the car seat safety belt adjuster is
either in a backward position with respect to
the backrest of the car seat (or at least aligned
to it)(Fig. 5 refers).
If the front seat is equipped with a frontal air-
bag, it is recommended not to fi t the child car
seat onto this seat. If you wish to fi t the child
car seat in any seat protected by airbag, al-
ways refer to the vehicle instructions manual.
WARNING! Never install the child car seat on
a car seat equipped only with a 2-point hori-
zontal lap belt. (Fig. 6)
