3. Each country implements dierent laws and

regulations in terms of safety to carry chil- dren inside vehicles. For this reason, contact local authorities for further information.

4. WARNING! According to accident statistics,

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 vehicle. In particular, the safer seat is the rear central one, if featuring a 3-point belt: in this case, we suggest positioning the Car seat on the rear central seat.

5. WARNING! HAZARD! Never use this car

seat tted on the font seat of a vehicle with a front airbag; use only if the front airbag is deactivated: check with the car manufactur- er or see the owner’s manual of your car for instructions on how to deactivate the airbag.

6. If the child car seat is tted on the front seat of

the car (only if the front airbag is not present or has been deactivated), to ensure maximum safety the seat should be pushed as far back as possible while taking into account the com- fort of the passenger sitting in the seat directly behind it.

7. Never use this child car seat on side-facing or

rear-facing car seats.

8. Only t 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.

9. Pay attention when tting the child car seat

into the car in order to avoid the car seat or car door, which may interfere with installation.

10. No car seat can guarantee your child’s total

safety in the case of an accident but using this product reduces the risk of serious in- juries or death.

11. Serious risks for your child increase, not

only in case of accident but also in other circumstances (e.g. sudden brakes, etc.) if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed carefully: always check that the child car seat is secured correctly to the vehicle’s seat.

12. If the child car seat is damaged, deformed

or worn out, it must be replaced: it may no longer meet the original safety standards.

in the car as it may hurt or harm the pas- sengers.

accessory between the vehicle seat and the 15child car seat or between the child car seat and the child: in case of accident, the child car seat may not work properly.

20. It is recommended to cover the child car

seat if the vehicle is left exposed to direct sunlight.

inappropriate use of the product.

27. The seat fabric must only be replaced with

another approved by the manufacturer as it forms an integral part of the child car seat. The child car seat must never be used with- out the fabric cover.

28. Check that the safety harness strap is not

twisted to avoid the strap or any parts of the child car seat becoming trapped between the car doors, or rubbing against cutting edges. If the safety harness is cut or frayed, it must be replaced.

29. Make sure that no objects or luggage is

carried in particular on the rear shelf inside the vehicle, without previously having an- chored or positioned them safely: they may injure the passengers in the case of an ac- cident or sudden breaking.

30. Make sure that all the vehicle’s passengers

week of pregnancy can be at risk if placed in a child car seat. Newborn babies may have breathing diculties when seated in the child car seat.
