[. . . ] 23 • This product is expressly intended to be used only as a car seat; it cannot therefore be used indoors. € No car seat can guarantee the total safety of your child in the event of accidents, but the use of this product reduces the risk of serious injuries or death. € Always use the child car seat, fitted correctly and with the safety harness fastened, including when on short journeys. Not using the child car seat constitutes a danger to your child’s safety. [. . . ] Failure to comply with the instructions herein may affect your child’s safety. € The child car seat is intended for children weighing between 9 kg and 18 kg. € The child car seat may be fitted to the front passenger seat or any rear seat, always in a front-facing position. Never use this child car seat on side-facing or rear-facing car seats (Fig. € The car seat must be fitted with a 3-point static or 3-point retractor safety belt, type approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. According to car accident statistics, the rear seats of a car are generally safer than the front seat: it is therefore recommended to fit the child car seat onto the vehicle’s rear seats. In particular, the central rear seat is the safest, if it is equipped with a 3-point safety harness: in this event, it is recommended to fit the child car seat into the vehicle’s central rear seat. If the child car seat is fitted onto the front seat of the car, 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, to then adjust the backrest in the most vertical position. If the car is equipped with a safety belt height adjuster, fix it in the lowest position. Then check that the car seat safety belt adjuster is either in a backward position with respect to the backrest of the car seat (or at least aligned to it)(Fig. If the front seat is equipped with a frontal airbag, it is recommended not to fit the child car seat onto this seat. If you wish to fit the child car seat in any seat protected by airbag, always refer to the vehicle instructions manual. Never install the child car seat on a car seat equipped only with a 2-point horizontal lap belt. Both instructions and figures are for the installation of the child car onto the vehicle’s right rear seat. To fit the child car seat in other positions, the operations must still be carried out in the same order. Check that there are no loose objects between the child car seat and the vehicle seat or between the child car seat and the vehicle door. Recline the child car seat backrest entirely by pulling the lever (O), located under the child car seat, forward towards you (Fig. Pull on the car safety belt and lead it in through the space located between the child car seat backrest and the child car seat base frame. Lead the 3-point Car safety belt horizontal strap into the appropriate safety belt guides. Pull out from the other side of the child car seat and lock it to the seat buckle (Fig. Open the car safety belt diagonal strap lock clamp (R) located on the same side of the seat buckle, by pressing down on its lever (Fig. Slip in the car safety belt diagonal strap positioning it exactly as illustrated in fig. [. . . ] Check the condition of the seams: they must always be completely secure. € Straps: check that there is no irregular wear and fraying of the woven straps, with evident thinning out of adjustment strap thickness, or of the lap harness strap, the shoulder straps, as well as in the area of the belt adjustment plate. In the event that the child car seat is evidently deformed or very worn, it must be replaced: it may no longer conform to the original safety standards. Storing the Product When it is not fitted into the car, it is recommended that the child car seat is stored in a cool, dry place, far from heat sources and dust contamination, as well as humidity and direct sunlight.
