HOW TO FIT THE CHILD CAR SEAT INTO THE CAR
FOR GROUP 1 (From 9 up to 18 kg)
WARNING! When it is used for Group 1 (from 9 up to
18 kg), always fit the Child Car Seat in a forward-facing
direction.

it is recommended to push the seat back as much as
possible, bearing in mind the comfort of the passen-
ger sitting in the seat directly behind it, and to adjust
the backrest in the most vertical 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 posi-
tion with respect to the backrest of the car seat (or at
least aligned to it).
WARNING! The points through which the safety belt
must pass for fitting for Group 1 (from 9 up to 18 kg)
are highlighted in RED.
