1.4 RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
REGARDING THE USE OF THE PROD-
UCT AND VEHICLE SEAT
WARNING! Strictly comply with the following
restrictions and requirements for use concern-
ing the product and vehicle seat: If not fol-
lowed your child's safety will be compromised.
• The height of the child must be between 100
and 150 cm.
• The vehicle's seat must be equipped with
3-point vehicle seat belt, whether static or
with winder, approved according to UN/ECE
Regulation no. 16 or other equivalent stand-
ards (Fig. 1-2).
WARNING! When using in vehicles equipped
with rear seat belts with integrated airbags (in-
flatable seat belts), follow the car manufactur-
er's instruction manual.
• It may happen that the vehicle seat belt
buckle is too long and exceeds the expected
height above the bottom of the car seat (Fig.
3A-3B).In this case the seat must not be fixed
on that seat but must be installed on another
seat on which there is no problem. For more
information, contact your car manufacturer.
• The Car seat can be installed on the front seat,
passenger side, or on any of the rear seats, and
always positioned in the driving sense. Never
use this child car seat on vehicle seats facing
the sides or opposite to the direction of the
drivers seat (Fig. 4).
WARNING! According to accident statistics,
a vehicle's rear seat is generally safer than the
front seat: we therefore suggest installing the
car seat on the rear seat of the vehicle. In par-
ticular, the safer seat is the rear central one, if
featuring a 3-point belt: in this case, we suggest
positioning the Car seat on the rear central
seat. If the Car seat is positioned on the front
seat, for further safety, we suggest pushing the
seat as far back as possible, depending on the
presence of other passengers on the rear seat,
and adjust the backrest in upright position. If
the car features a belt height regulator, secure
the latter in the lowest position. Then, make
sure that the belt regulator is positioned far
back (or aligned) compared to the backrest of
the vehicle's seat (Fig. 5A-5B). If the front seat
is equipped with front airbag, is not advisable
to install the Car seat on this seat. Always refer
to your vehicle's instruction manual when in-
stalling the child car seat on any seat protected
by airbag.
2. INSTALLING THE CHILD CAR SEAT
2.1 INSTALLING THE CHILD CAR SEAT WITH
THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT AND ISOFIX
RIGID CONNECTORS
WARNING! The text and figures of these in-
structions are for the installation of the child
car seat on the right back seat. When fitting the
child car seat in other position these operations
should in any case be carried out in the same
order.
WARNING! Before installing the child car seat
with Isofix connectors, make sure the child car
seat is in vertical position, not reclined.
WARNING! •Check that the car seat headrest
does not interfere with the headrest of the
child car seat: it must not push it forward (Fig.
6). If this happens, remove the headrest from
the car seat. Remember to reposition the head-
rest on the vehicle seat if the child car seat is
removed and the seat is used by a passenger.
1. Remove the Isofix connectors (R) by pressing
and holding button (P) down (Fig. 7).
2. Fasten the two rigid connectors (R) to the
corresponding ISOFIX hooks on the car seat
between the backrest and the seat (Fig. 8).
