Frequently Asked Questions - Unico Plus CHICCO

How to install the seat in Group 0+ (0-13 kg)?

The seat must always be installed rearward facing with the airbag deactivated. You must use the rigid connectors and the Top Tether. Rotate the seat base 180° using the lever (M), adjust the recline to position R, attach the connectors to the ISOFIX anchorages until you hear a click (green indicator), push the seat against the seat back, then hook the Top Tether to the vehicle's anchor point and tighten it until it turns green.

How to switch from Group 1 to Group 2/3 configuration?

Loosen the seat belts by pressing the button (O). Adjust the headrest to its maximum extension. Unbuckle the harness belts and remove them from the buckle. Store the buckle in the compartment under the seat base and roll up the belts in the side compartments. Place the harness covers in the backrest and the crotch protection under the fabric. The seat is then ready for use with the vehicle's seat belt.

Can I install this seat on the front passenger seat?

In Group 0+ (0-13 kg), this is only possible if the front airbag is deactivated. In Group 1 (9-18 kg), it is not recommended but possible if the front seat is pushed back as far as possible and the airbag is activated. In Group 2/3, follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Never install on a side-facing or rearward-facing seat.

What are the allowed weights and ages for each group?

Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg (approx. 12-15 months) – rearward facing.
Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg (approx. 9 months to 4 years) – forward facing.
Group 2/3: from 15 to 36 kg (approx. 3 to 12 years) – forward facing.

How to clean the seat cover?

The cover is removable and machine washable at 30°C. Use a delicate cycle, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. To remove it, detach the buttons on the headrest and seat base. Never use abrasive detergents or solvents. The seat must never be used without the cover.

How to adjust the headrest height?

Use the adjustment lever (S) located at the back of the headrest to slide it to the desired height. Optimal adjustment ensures the harnesses are at shoulder height (Groups 0+ and 1) and the diagonal belt guide (Q) is no more than 2 cm above the shoulder (Groups 2/3).

What to do in case of an accident?

Even in the event of a minor accident, the car seat may suffer invisible damage. Replace it immediately with a new one. Never use a second-hand seat after an accident.

What is the lifespan of the seat?

Do not use the product for more than 10 years after the purchase date. Materials may degrade over time (sun, heat) and compromise safety.

Can I use the seat without the rigid ISOFIX connectors?

No, for all groups, the installation must always use the rigid connectors (ISOFIX) in combination with the Top Tether (Group 0+) or the vehicle's 3-point belt (Groups 1, 2/3). Never use only the safety belt.

How to check that the seat is correctly installed?

Make sure the rigid connector indicators have turned green. For the Top Tether, the strap must be taut and the green indicator visible. The vehicle belt must not be twisted and should fit snugly against the child. Consult the manual for each specific configuration.

3 OTHER OPERATIONS

• Read these instructions carefully before assembling and installing the product. Prevent anybody from using the product without reading the instructions.
• 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 authorities for further information.
• 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. The safest seat is the rear middle seat, if equipped with 3-point seat belt and ISOFIX anchorages.
  • Make sure that all passengers in the vehicle know how to release the child from the child car seat in case of an emergency.
• 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. Use only if the front airbag is deactivated: check with the car manufacturer or see the owner's manual for instructions on how to deactivate the airbag.
• Premature babies born before the 37th week of pregnancy can be at risk if placed in a child car seat. Newborn babies may have breathing difficulties when seated in the child car seat. We recommend consulting your doctor, or the hospital's staff, for their medical advice on whether your child can be transported in the child car seat when leaving the hospital.
• In the Group 1 configuration (9-18 kg) if the car seat is placed on the front seat with the front airbag activated, for greater safety it is advised to push the front seat as far back as possible, to an extent compatible with any passengers present in the rear seat.
• 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.
• Pay attention when fitting the child car seat into the car in order to avoid damaging the car seat or car door, which may interfere with installation.
• No car seat can guarantee your child's total safety in the event of an accident, but the use of this product reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when installed correctly.
• The risk of serious injuries to the child increases, not only in the case of accidents, but also in other circumstances (i.e.: sudden braking, 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 the modification has been approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not fit any accessories, spare parts or components not supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not insert anything between the vehicle seat and the child car seat, or between the child car seat and the child, unless it is an accessory approved by the manufacturer: in case of accident, the child car seat may not work properly.
  • After an accident, even a minor one, the child seat can incur damage which may not be visible to the naked eye: it must be replaced.
• DO NOT use the product for more than 10 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 be structurally damaged, even if not visible to the naked eye, and could compromise the safety of the product.
• Never leave the child unattended in the child car seat for any reason.
• If the vehicle has been left in the sun, check that the different parts of the child car seat are not too hot before seating the child in it: in this case, let the child car seat cool down

first before placing the child into it, in order to avoid burns.

• 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 must never be used without the fabric cover.
• 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. The car seat is no longer usable if the safety harness shows signs of cutting or fraying.
• When the child car seat is not in use, it should be left secured to the car's seat, or stowed in the car's boot with the seat inclination adjuster handle completely inserted into the lower part of the child car seat. In fact, an unsecured car seat may pose a hazard to the passengers in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
• Do not transport loose, unsecured objects or baggage on the back shelf of the vehicle: they may injure the passengers in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
  • Make sure that all folding or rotating car seats are always firmly fastened in place, otherwise they could be dangerous.
• Check that the vehicle car seat headrest does not interfere with that of the child car seat: do not push it forwards. If this is the case, remove the headrest from the car seat on which the child car seat is fitted, without resting it on the luggage rack.
• Ensure that all the car passengers fasten their vehicle seat belt for their own safety as during the journey, they may injure the child in the event of an accident or sudden braking of the car.
• On long distance journeys, make frequent stops. Children get tired easily.
• Do not remove the child from the child car seat while travelling. If your child needs attention, find a safe place and stop.
• Artsana declines all responsibility for any inappropriate use of the product.

2.6 RESETTING THE SEAT BELTS FOR USE IN GROUP 0+ (0-13 KG) and GROUP 1 (9-18KG)

Work backwards through the steps described in chapter 2.3.

3. OTHER OPERATIONS

3.1 ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE HEADREST

The height of the headrest can be adjusted to better adapt the child car seat to the height of the child. When it is correctly adjusted, it ensures:

• That the head is always well positioned and protected (Group 1/2/3).
• That the vehicle seat belts of the car seat are always at the correct height, in other words at the shoulders (Group 0+ and Group 1).
• That the car's diagonal belt is always at the right height thanks to the guides built into the headrest (Q) (Group 2/3).

To adjust the height of the headrest, use the headrest adjustment lever (S), until the desired height is reached (Fig. 62).

3.2 RECLINING THE SEAT

The recline lever (L) located under the seat must be unlocked using the second safety catch to bring the incline of the seat to the desired position.

When the car seat is installed in the Group 0+ configuration (0-13 kg) it must be set to position R.

In the Group 1 configuration (9-18 kg) the car seat can be set to positions 1, 2 and 3.

In the Group 2/3 configuration (15-36 kg) the car seat can only be used in positions 1 and 2.

The car seat is equipped with a Side Safety System (F) to guarantee greater protection in the event of impact from the side.
