However, when the car manufacturer states that car seats can take “Universal” type seats, they are totally compatible.. english

You can also use your STRATA with any JANÉ chassis that has the PROFIX system.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS STRATA You must follow these instructions to ensure that your baby is adequately protected, comfortable and securely fastened inside the car:

• Your STRATA safety seat can be installed on both the front seat, if it is not fitted with an Air-Bag, and the back seat of the car. In any event, we recommend that you fit on the back seats. If you position it on the front seat of the car, this must NOT have an AIR-BAG or it must be disconnected.
• It is only valid for cars fitted with automatic three-point fastening seat belts, approved in accordance with Regulation ECE-16, or other equivalent regulations. Do NOT use it with a two-point fastening belt.
• Not all safety systems are exactly the same, so we recommend that you check your STRATA in the car where you are going to install it.
• It is very important that you do not use second-hand products, as JANÉ can only guarantee complete safety on items used by their initial buyer.

• JANÉ recommends that you replace your STRATA safety seat with a new one when it has undergone violent pressure following an accident.
• Check that all the seat belts are in the correct position and correctly adjusted to your STRATA. Ensure that none of the seat belts is coiled up.
• To help your baby grow correctly, we advise that you do not over-use the safety seat on long journeys, and that you frequently lay them stretched out in a Moses basket or bed. Your STRATA safety seat has been designed with the latest safety developments in mind and has been tested under the toughest conditions. It has the following features: Installation in cars:
• Slot for passing belts through under the body of the seat that enables it to be installed in cars with shorter seat belts. It also leaves the baby's feet area free.
• Car seat belt locking feature that enables the seat to be tightened for greater stability
• Chassis ready for installation on a base with ISOfix system (optional). Install the seat in your car with a simple click and no need to thread seat belts through. Comfort and safety for your baby:

• The base raises automatically to the headrest's low positions, so extending the seat as far as it will go. Recommended for the first few months when a sitting position makes it difficult for the baby to breathe.
• 5-point integrated seat belts, greater fastening surface that distributes weight better in the event of an accident.
• Ventilation in the chassis making it breathable.
• Impact-absorbent material on the entire surface that comes into contact with the baby. Comfort for the parents:

Choosing where to install the safety seat Choosing the right place where you want to install the safety seat in the car will reduce the risk of injury to your baby in the event of an accident. As far as possible, install the safety seat on the back seats. We strongly recommend that the baby is accompanied by someone sitting next to them to take care of their every need. Of the three back seats, the middle one is the safest. If you are travelling alone with your baby, it is good if you can see them without having to take your eyes off the road. Put them in the passenger seat providing that it is NOT fitted with an Air-Bag or IT IS DISCONNECTED. Under no circumstances allow yourself to be distracted from the road to see to your baby. Stop the car in a safe place.

2 Adjustments before use Adjusting the height of the shoulder straps STRATA To ensure that they offer maximum protection, the shoulder straps on the STRATA safety seat must be set just above the baby's shoulders. Check this height with the baby seated correctly in the safety seat. The lowest positions of the headrest, which are for the first few months of use, are connected to an automatic system that raises the base of the seat.

The STRATA safety seat has a quick system for controlling the height of the shoulder straps. Simply press a button and slide the headrest. 2a STRATA has 6 heights for the shoulder straps. To change position, press the switch on the backrest and slide it into the desired position. 2b Release the switch and move the headrest until it reaches the nearest locking position, when you should hear a click. Check that it is locked by pulling the headrest. WARNING Check and adjust the height of the shoulder straps as the baby grows. Changing the position of the handle The handle has 4 positions (2c), each of which has a specific function: Position 1: Stability, the handle stops it from tipping over when on a flat surface.
