high and not rests on the armrest of the car seat
(Diag 3). Otherwise, try to install the car seat for
your child on another car seat in the car.
WARNING! According to car accident statistics,
the rear seats of a car are generally safer than
the front seat: it is therefore recommended to
fit the child car seat into the rear seats of the
car. In particular, the central rear seat is the saf-
est, 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.
If the child car seat is fitted in 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 adjust the back-
rest in the most vertical position. If the car is
equipped with a safety belt height adjuster, fix
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)(see diag. 5). If the
front seat is equipped with frontal airbag, it is
recommended that you fit the child car seat
into this seat. If you wish to fit the child car seat
in any seat protected by airbag, always refer to
the vehicle instructions manual.
MAINTENANCE
The cleaning and maintenance operations
must only be carried out by an adult.
How to Clean the Fabric cover
The child car seat's fabric cover can be removed
and cleaned. Please refer to the care label for
instructions on cleaning the seat fabric.
Machine washable at 30°
30° C
Do not bleach
Do not spin dry
Do not iron
Do not dry clean
Clean the fabric cover only with a sponge,
neutral detergent and water.
Never use abrasive detergents or solvents.
Do not spin the fabric cover, let it dry without
wringing.
The fabric cover can be replaced only with an-
other fabric cover approved by the manufac-
turer, because it is an integral part of the child
car seat and, therefore, it is a safety aspect.
WARNING! The child car seat must never be
used without the fabric cover: it could be dan-
gerous for your child.
How to Clean the Plastic Parts
Clean the plastic parts with a soft, damp cloth
or a neutral detergent.
Never use abrasive detergents or solvents.
The movable parts of the child car seat must
not be lubricated.
Checking the Condition of the
Components
It is recommended to check regularly the con-
dition of the following components to ensure
that they are not worn out:
• Fabric cover: Check that the padding does
not come out from the seams. Check the
condition of the seams: they must always
be integral.
• Plastic parts: Check that the plastic parts
are not worn out, damaged or faded.
CAUTION! If the child car seat is deformed or
worn out, it must be replaced: it may no long-
er comply with the original safety standards.
Storing the Product
When it is not fitted into the car, it is recom-
mended to store the child car seat in a dry
place, away from sources of heat and to pro-
tect it from dust, humidity and direct sunlight.
