• Avoid giving food to your child while travelling,
in particular lollypops, ice lollies or other foods
on sticks. it may injure your child in the event of
an accident or sudden braking.
• On long journeys, it is recommended to make
frequent stops: children tire very easily in child
car seats and need to stretch their legs. It is rec-
ommended to accompany your child in and out
of the car from the pavement side, not the traffi c
road side.
• Do note remove the labels and trademarks from
the child car seat lining; this could damage the
lining itself.
• Do not leave the highchair under the sun for a
long time: prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
may cause the fabric cover to fade.
• If the vehicle has been left in the sun, check that
the different parts of the child car seat are not
too hot: in such an event, let the child car seat
cool down fi rst before placing the child into it, in
order to avoid burns.

ible for use on the vehicles indicated in the
relative "List of approved vehicles".
- using the child car seat without the rigid Fix-
Plus clasps, with the 3-point car seat belts, the

RESTRICTIONS AND REQUISITES REGARD-
ING 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 fi tted with a 3-point static
or 3-point retractor safety belts approved to UN/
ECE Regulation No.16, or other equivalent stand-
ards (Diag. 1- Diag. 2.).
• You may fi nd 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 specifi c seat, and you should
try installing it on a seat that does not have this
inconvenience. Please contact the car manufac-
turer for further information on this aspect.
• The child car seat can be fi tted into the front pas-
senger seat or any other back seats, always 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 fi t
the child car seat into the rear seats of the car. In
particular, the central rear seat is the safest, when
fi tted with a 3-point safety strap: in this case it
is recommended to fi t the child car seat onto the
central rear seat of the vehicle.
If the child car seat is fi tted 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 pas-
senger sitting in the seat directly behind it and ad-
justing the backrest to the most vertical position.
If the vehicle is fi tted with an adjuster to regulate
the height of the safety belt, position it as low as
possible. Check that the safety belt adjuster is be-
hind (or at the most aligned) with the backrest of
the vehicle seat (Diag. 5A and 5B).
It is not recommended to fi t the child car seat into
a front seat equipped with airbag. If you wish to fi t
the child car seat in any seat protected by airbag,
always refer to the vehicle instructions manual.
