WARNINGS
• Read these instructions carefully before as-
sembling and installing the product. Prevent
anybody that has not read the instructions
from using the product.
• 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, contact local authori-
ties for further information.
• WARNING! According to accident statis-
tics, a vehicle' s rear seat is generally safer
than the front seat: therefore, we suggest to
install the car seat on the rear seat of the ve-
hicle. In particular, the central rear seat is the
safest one when fitted with a 3-point safety belt.
• WARNING! HAZARD! For Group 0+ (from 0
up to 13 kg): never fit this child car seat on
a front seat equipped with front airbag. The
child car seat can be fitted to a front seat
only if the front airbag has been deactivated:
check with the car manufacturer or see the
owner's manual for instructions on how to
deactivate the airbag.
• Make sure that all the passengers in the ve-
hicle know how to release the child from the
child car seat in case of an emergency.
• Never use this child car seat on side-facing or
rear-facing car seats.
• Only fit the child car seat onto seats which
are fastened to the car chassis and facing
forwards. Make sure that all folding or rotat-
ing car seats are always securely fastened in
place; if not, they could be dangerous.
• When fitting the child car seat in the car
make sure that no car seat or door can inter-
fere with it.
• No car seat can guarantee the total safety of
your child in the event of accident, 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.: sudden brak-
ing, etc.) if these instructions are not followed
carefully: always check that the child car seat
is secured correctly to the vehicle's seat.
• If the child car seat is damaged, deformed
or worn out, it must be replaced: it may no
longer meet the original safety standards.
• This product must not be modified in any
way unless approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not fit any accessories, spare parts or
components not supplied or approved by
the manufacturer.
• Never leave the child unattended in the child
car seat for any reason.
• Always ensure that the child car seat is se-
curely fastened to the car seat; if not, it could
hurt or harm passengers.
• 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 acces-
sory approved by the manufacturer: in the
event of an accident, the child car seat may
not work properly.
• It is advisable to cover the child car seat if the
vehicle is left exposed to direct sunlight.
• After an accident, even a minor one, the child
seat incurs damage, even if it is not visible to
the naked eye. It must therefore be replaced.
• DO NOT use the product for more than 7
years. After this period, alterations of the
materials (e.g., due to exposure to sunlight)
may reduce or compromise the product's
effectiveness.
• Do not use second-hand child car seats: they
may have suffered structural damage not vis-
ible to the naked eye but liable of compro-
mising the safety of the product.
• Artsana does not accept any responsibility
for the inappropriate use of the product.
• The seat fabric must only be replaced with
another approved by the manufacturer as it
forms an integral part of the child car seat. To
ensure your child's safety, the child car seat
