ply 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.
4).
•
The car seat must be fitted with a 3-point
static or 3-point retractor safety belt, type ap-
proved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16, or other
equivalent standards (Fig. 5).
WARNING! 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 ver-
tical 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. 5 refers).
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 vehi-
cle instructions manual.
WARNING! Never install the child car seat on a car
seat equipped only with a 2-point horizontal lap
belt. (Fig. 6)
•
Make sure that the buckle seat belt is not too
high (Diag 10). Otherwise, try to install the car
seat for your child on another car seat in the
car.
