ways 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 statis-
tics, the rear seats of a vehicle are generally
safer than the front seat: it is therefore recom-
mended to fit the child car seat into the rear
seats of the car. In particular, the central rear
seat is the safest, when fitted with a 3-point
safety strap: in this case it is recommended to
fit the child car seat onto the central rear seat
of the vehicle.
If the child car seat is fitted 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 passenger sitting in the seat
directly behind it and adjusting the backrest
to the most vertical position. If the vehicle is
fitted with an adjuster to regulate the height
of the safety belt, position it as low as possible.
Check that the safety belt adjuster is behind
(or at the most aligned) with the backrest of
the vehicle seat (Diag. 5A and 5B).
It is not recommended to fit the child car seat
into a front seat equipped with airbag. If you
wish to fit the child car seat in any seat pro-
tected by airbag, always refer to the vehicle
instructions manual.
Make sure that the buckle seat belt is not too
high and not rests on the armrest of the car seat
(Diag 3). Otherwise, try to install the car seat for
your child on another car seat in the car.
