2. A correct fit is likely if the vehicle manufacturer has declared that the vehicle is capable of accepting a “Universal” child restraint device for this age group.
3. This child restraint device has been classified as “Universal” under more stringent conditions than those that were applied to earlier designs which do not display this notice.
4. Only suitable if the vehicle is fitted with a 3-point static or 3-point retractor safety harnesses approved to UN/ECE Regulation No.16, or other equivalent standards.
5. If in doubt, consult either the child restraint device manufacturer or your retailer.

RESTRICTIONS AND REQUISITES REGARDING THE USE OF THE PRODUCT AND CAR SEAT

WARNING! Read these restrictions and requisites carefully to ensure the product and car seat are used safely: if you don't, the safety levels can not be guaranteed.

• The child car seat is suitable for children from 15 up to 36 Kg in weight.
  The car seat must be fitted with a 3-point static or 3-point retractor safety belts approved to UN/ECE Regulation No.16, or other equivalent standards (Diag. 1- Diag. 2.).
• You may find that the safety belt buckle is too long and exceeds the foreseen height in relation to the lower section of the child car seat (Diag. 3). In this case the child car seat must not be installed on that specific seat, and you should try installing it on a seat that does not have this inconvenience. Please contact the car manufacturer for further information on this aspect.
• The child car seat can be fitted into the front passenger seat or any other back seats, al-

ways in a forward facing direction. Never use this child car seat on vehicle seats which are facing sideways or rearwards (diag. 4)

WARNING! According to car accident statistics, the rear seats of a vehicle are generally safer than the front seat: it is therefore recommended to fit the child car seat into the rear seats of the car. In particular, the central rear seat is the safest, when fitted with a 3-point safety strap: in this case it is recommended to fit the child car seat onto the central rear seat of the vehicle.

If the child car seat is fitted in the front seat of the car, in order to ensure maximum safety, it is recommended to push the seat back as much as possible, bearing in mind the comfort of the passenger sitting in the seat directly behind it and adjusting the backrest to the most vertical position. If the vehicle is fitted with an adjuster to regulate the height of the safety belt, position it as low as possible. Check that the safety belt adjuster is behind (or at the most aligned) with the backrest of the vehicle seat (Diag. 5A and 5B).

It is not recommended to fit the child car seat into a front seat equipped with airbag. If you wish to fit the child car seat in any seat protected by airbag, always refer to the vehicle instructions manual.
