TO BE READ IMMEDIATELY
1. Please follow carefully these instructions
on how to assemble and fit the product. The
product must not be used by anybody who has
not read these instructions.
2. Keep this instruction booklet for future use.
3. Each country has different safety laws and regu-
lations for the transportation of children in cars.
For this reason, it is recommended that you
should contact your local authority for further
information.
4. 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 into the rear seats of the
car. In particular, the central rear seat is the saf-
est, if it is fitted with a 3-point safety harness: in
this event, it is recommended to fit the child car
seat into the central rear seat of the car.
5. WARNING! DANGER! Never fit this child car
seat into a front seat equipped with frontal
airbag. Fit the child car seat into the front seat
only if the frontal airbag has been deactivated:
check with the car manufacturer, or in the car
instructions manual, whether the airbag can
be deactivated.
6. If the child car seat is fitted in the front seat of
the car (only if the frontal airbag is not present
or it has been deactivated), 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.
7. Never use this child car seat on side-facing or
rear-facing car seats.
8. Fit the child car seat only in front-facing seats that
are correctly secured in the car. Never leave fold-
ing or rotating car seats unsecured, they may be a
source of danger in the event of an accident.
9. Pay attention when fitting the child car seat
into the car to avoid that a mobile car seat or
car door may interfere with it.
10. No child car seat can guarantee the total
safety of your child in the event of an accident,
but the use of this product reduces the risk of
serious injuries or death.
11. The risk of serious injuries to the child increas-
es, not only in the case of accidents, but also in
other circumstances (i.e.: sudden braking, etc.)
if these instructions are not followed carefully:
always check that the child car seat is secured
correctly to the car's seat.
12. If the child car seat is damaged, deformed or
worn out, it must be replaced: it may no longer
comply with the original safety standards.
13. This product must not be modified in any way, unless
the modification is approved by the manufacturer.
14. Do not install accessories, spare parts or components
not supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
15. Never leave your child unattended in the child
car seat for any reason.
16. To avoid the risk that the child may fall, secure
the child to the child car seat also when carry-
ing the child car seat by hand.
17. When it is not used in the car, it is dangerous to
place the child car seat onto raised surfaces.
18. Never leave the child car seat unsecured in the
car seat, it may hurt or injure the passengers.
19. Do not insert anything between the car seat
and the child car seat, or between the child car
seat and the child, unless it is an accessory ap-
proved by the manufacturer: in case of accident
the child car seat may not operate correctly.
20. In case the car is left under direct sunlight, it is
recommended to cover the child car seat.
21. An accident, even a minor incident, may cause
damages to the child car seat, which are not
visible to the naked eye: it is therefore neces-
sary to replace the child car seat.
22. Before carrying the child car seat by hand, en-
sure that the child is fastened with the safety
harness, and that the handle is correctly locked
in a vertical position.
23. This child car seat can be used only with CHIC-
CO strollers featuring the CLIK CLAK system.
Always check the type of hooks the stroller is
equipped with in the instructions booklet, and
whether they fit the child car seat.
24. Ensure that the child car seat is fitted correctly
on the stroller before placing the child in it.
25. Do not use second-hand child car seats: they
may have suffered structural damages not vis-
ible to the naked eye, which could compromise
the safety of the product.
26. Artsana declines all responsibility for any inap-
propriate use of the product.
27. The fabric cover can be replaced only with an-
other fabric cover approved by the manufac-
turer, because it is an integral part of the child
