  • Each country has different safety laws and regulations for the transportation of children in cars. For this reason, contact local authorities for further information.
• Do not let anyone use this product without having first read the instructions.
• The risk of serious injuries to your child increases, not only in the case of accidents, but also in other circumstances (sudden braking, etc.) if these instructions are not followed carefully.
• This product is only intended to be used as a child car seat; it is not meant for use indoors.
• 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.

• Always use the child car seat, fitted correctly, including for short journeys. Your child's safety will be compromised if you do not follow the above mentioned rule. In particular, make sure that the child car seat belt is properly tensioned, free of knots and in proper position.
  • After an accident, even if minor, the child car seat must be replaced because it may have suffered damages, although these damages may not be visible to the naked eye.

• Do not use second-hand child car seats: they may have suffered damages not visible at the naked eye, but such to compromise the product's safety.

• 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 a child car seat that is damaged, deformed, excessively worn out, or missing any parts as the original safety features may have been compromised.
• This product must not be modified in any way unless the modification has been approved by the manufacturer. Do not install accessories, spare parts or components which are not supplied and approved by the manufacturer and intended for the child car seat.
• Do not use anything – pillows, blankets, etc. – to distance the child car seat from the vehicle seat or to distance the child from the child car seat: in case of accident, the child car seat may not work properly.
• Make sure that no objects are positioned between the child car seat and the vehicle seat or between the child car seat and the car door.
• Make sure that the vehicle seats (foldable, tiltable or rotating) are well secured.
• 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.
• Do not let other children play with the child car seat components or parts.
• Never leave your child unattended in the car, it can be dangerous!
• Do not transport more than one child at a time in the child car seat.

• WARNING! When adjusting the child car seat, make sure that no moving parts come into contact with your child.
• If you need to carry out any adjustment on the child car seat or on your child when travelling,

stop the vehicle in a safe place.

• Periodically check that the child has not opened the safety buckle on the child car seat and that he/she is not playing with any part pertaining to it.
- Avoid giving food to your child while travelling, especially lollies, ice lollies or other foods on sticks. they may injure your child in case of accident or sudden braking.
- Stop frequently during long trips: children tire easily whilst using the child car seat and need to move around. It is recommended that children get in and out of the child car seat from the curb side.
- Do not remove the labels or logos from the product.
- Avoid exposing the child car seat to the sun for extended periods of time: it may change the colour of the materials and fabric.
- In the first few months after birth, children may have difficulty breathing in a seated position. Avoid leaving children to sleep in the seat until they can lift their heads themselves.
- If the vehicle has been left in the sun, check that the different parts of the child car seat are not too hot: otherwise, let them cool off before accommodating your child, in order to prevent burns.
- Premature babies born before the 37th week of pregnancy can be at risk if placed in a child car seat. These babies might incur breathing problems when sat in a child car seat. We therefore recommend you to contact your doctor or the hospital staff, before leaving the hospital. They can recommend the most suitable type of child car seat based on your child's situation.

2. PRODUCT FEATURES

This child car seat has been approved under Regulation ECE R129/03 for the transport of children ranging from 45 cm to 105 cm in height ( ≤ 19 kg).

WARNING

This is an i-Size Enhanced Child Restraint System. It is approved according to UN Regulation No. 129, for use in, i-Size compatible ve-

hicle seating positions as indicated by vehicle manufacturers in the vehicle users' manual. If in doubt, consult either the Enhanced Child Restraint System manufacturer or the retailer.

3. RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE USE OF THE PRODUCT AND VEHICLE SEAT

WARNING! Follow the restrictions and requirements for use of this product and the vehicle car seat at all times: safety will not be guaranteed otherwise.

This child car seat can be installed so that it faces opposite of the car driving direction. The car seat can be installed in the rear facing position when the height of the child falls in the 45 cm to 105 cm range. The car seat can be installed facing forward once the child is at least 76 cm tall.

IMPORTANT! Do not use forward facing before the child's age exceeds 15 months. Chicco recommends using the rear facing position for as long as possible.

WARNING! Deactivate the passenger airbag when the child is in the front seat in the rear facing direction.

WARNING! If it is used in a vehicle equipped with rear safety harnesses with integrated airbags (inflatable seat belts), the interplay between the inflatable portion of the seat belt and this child restraint system could cause serious injury or death. During installation with the Isofix system, the safety harness may not be fastened behind the child car seat, as this would engage the inflatable portion of the safety harness.

The car seat can be used on all i-Size approved vehicle seats (check the vehicle's instruction manual) and on seats of vehicles included in the "Vehicle compatibility list" given with the car seat.

In any event the vehicle seat must be forward facing. Never use this car seat on vehicle seats facing the sides or opposite to the direction of the driver's seat (Fig. 1)

4. INSTALLING THE CHILD CAR SEAT

The child car seat is in the rear facing position when packed.

Extract the support leg (Q) from its compartment (Fig. 2).

Fully extract the Isofix connectors by pulling up on the lower extremity of the extraction ribbon (N) (Fig. 3).

To easily fasten the Isofix connector use the special guides provided, attaching them to the car's Isofix hooks (Fig. 4).

Fasten both Isofix connectors (M) to the corresponding Isofix hooks found on the vehicle seat, between the backrest and the seat (Fig. 5). To lock, push on the connectors themselves. When the connectors fit into place you will hear a "click", and the indicators (S) will turn green. Push the child car seat firmly against the backrest of the car (Fig. 6).

WARNING! Pull the child car seat towards you to make sure that the child car seat has been installed correctly on both sides. Also check that the child car seat is resting perfectly against the backrest of the car.

The installation of the car seat can ONLY be considered complete after the installation of the support leg (Q).

Position the support leg (Q) and use the adjustment buttons (R) to make the final adjustments (Fig. 7). When the support leg is properly installed the indicator (S) will turn green (Fig. 8).

WARNING! Be sure that the support leg is in contact with the floor of the vehicle at all times.

5. USING THE CHILD CAR SEAT IN THE REAR FACING POSITION (from 45 cm to 105 cm) AND POSITIONING YOUR CHILD

WARNING! The only allowed positions when the vehicle is travelling are forward facing or rear facing (Fig. 9).

WARNING! In order to use the car seat in the rear facing position, be sure that the seat is as reclined as possible.

Press the car seat rotation lever (K) while simultaneously turning the seat toward you (Fig. 10); the only purpose of this position is to simplify

the task of positioning the child in the car seat. Before seating your child in the car seat, press the harness adjustment button (E) while holding the two car seat harnesses under the shoulder straps and pulling them toward yourself to slacken them (Fig. 11).

Release the car seat safety harness buckle (D) by pressing on the red button (Fig. 12) and position the child in the car seat.

WARNING! Always ensure that the child is sitting with their body flat against the backrest of the child car seat and that the crotch strap (l) is positioned correctly.

Take the belts and join the two tabs of the buckle. (fig. 13). Push the two tabs firmly inside the buckle until you hear a "click" (Fig. 14). To ensure safety, the two tabs of the buckle were designed so that they cannot be fastened one at a time or alone.

To tension the car seat safety harnesses, pull the harness adjustment strap (F), until the harnesses adhere to the child's body correctly (Fig. 15).

WARNING! Do not over-tighten the harnesses around the child: if you can insert one finger between the harness and your child's shoulders, it means that they are tightened correctly

WARNING! Check that the harness is not twisted.

Use the rotation lever (K) to turn the car seat until it is in the rear facing position (Fig.16)

WARNING! The REDUCER CUSHION is to be used from birth to 75 cm. Refer to paragraph 7. REDUCER CUSHION.

6. USING THE CAR SEAT IN THE FORWARD FACING POSITION (from 76 cm to 105 cm) AND POSITIONING THE CHILD

WARNING! Forward facing installation is only allowed if the child is older than 15 months.

To adjust the height of the car seat safety harnesses and headrest refer to paragraph 8. ADJUSTING THE HEADREST AND HARNESSES.

Press the car seat rotation lever (K) while simultaneously turning the seat toward you (Fig. 17); the only purpose of this position is to simplify the task of positioning the child in the car seat. Before seating your child in the child car seat, press the harness adjustment button (E) while holding the two car seat harnesses under the shoulder straps and pulling them toward yourself to slacken them (Fig. 18).

Release the car seat safety harness buckle (D) by pressing on the red button (Fig. 19) and position the child in the car seat.

WARNING! Always ensure that the child is sitting with their body flat against the backrest of the child car seat and that the crotch strap (I) is positioned correctly.

Take the belts and join the two tabs of the buckle. (Fig. 20). Push the two tabs firmly inside the buckle until you hear a "click" (Fig. 21). To ensure safety, the two tabs of the buckle were designed so that they cannot be fastened one at a time or alone.

To tension the car seat safety harnesses, pull the harness adjustment strap (F), until the harnesses adhere to the child's body correctly (Fig. 22).

WARNING! Do not over-tighten the harnesses around the child: if you can insert one finger between the harness and your child's shoulders, it means that they are tightened correctly

WARNING! Check that the harness is not twisted.

Use the rotation lever (K) to turn the car seat until it is in the forward facing position (Fig. 23).

WARNING! The REDUCER CUSHION is to be used from birth to 75 cm. Refer to paragraph 7. REDUCER CUSHION.

7. REDUCER CUSHION

The car seat is equipped with a booster cushion consisting of a seat and headrest (Fig. 24). The booster cushion and headrest should be used from birth until the child is 75 cm.

8. ADJUSTING THE HEADREST AND HARNESSES

The height of both the headrest and the restraint harnesses can be adjusted to 9 different positions by using the headrest adjustment ring (G).

WARNING! To adjust them correctly, the headrest must be fitted so as to allow that the harnesses come out from the backrest at the height of the child's shoulders (Fig. 25).

Slacken the car seat harnesses using the ad-

justment button (E) while taking hold of the two harnesses below the shoulder straps and pulling toward yourself (Fig. 18). Next, pull up on the adjustment ring (G) located above the headrest (Fig. 26) and move the headrest to the desired position; now release the ring and ease the headrest until a click is heard, indicating that it is locked correctly into position.

WARNING! Do not over-tighten the harnesses around the child: If you can insert one finger between the harness and your child's shoulders, it means that it is tightened correctly.

9. ADJUSTING THE INCLINATION OF THE CHILD CAR SEAT

The child car seat can be reclined to 4 positions. To adjust the inclination of the child car seat, pull the reclining lever (J) (Fig. 27). When the child car seat is fitted rear-facing, it must be adjusted to the maximum recline position (4).

WARNING! When fitted rear-facing, the other positions cannot be used.

When fitted front-facing, the seat can be adjusted to the 4 positions provided.

10. ROTATION

The car seat is equipped with a system that allows for 360^ of rotation by activating the lever (K).

The intermediate position at 90^ can be used to simplify the task of seating the child in the car seat.

WARNING! Do not use the intermediate 90° position when the car is moving.

11. ADJUSTING THE CAR SEAT BUCKLE

The child car seat buckle can be adjusted to two different positions: A and B.

At the moment of purchase the buckle is in position A (Fig. 28)

Position A: Can always be used;

Position B: Can be used with older children who are at least 60 cm tall;

To switch from position A to position B one must:

Remove the padded crotch strap (I), lift the fabric off the seat and pass the buckle strap through the slot (Fig. 29) from position A to position B (Fig. 30). After this check that the belt has not rolled up. Pull the buckle several times to check it is inserted correctly. After adjusting, cover the seat with the fabric and put the padded crotch strap back in place.

To switch from position B to position A repeat the steps described above reversing the direction.

12. SUN CANOPY

The mesh sun canopy is included with some versions of the seat.

To fit the canopy, simply attach it to the car seat headrest using the two buttons at the base of each arch (Fig. 31) and then thread the headrest adjustment ring (G) through the hole at the base of the canopy (Fig. 32).

To use the canopy, simply pull on the end and select the most suitable position to protect your child from the sun's rays.
