WARNINGS
• This child car seat has been approved under regulation ECE R 129/03
for transport of children ranging from 76 to 150 cm in height.
• Each country implements different laws and regulations in terms of
safety to carry children inside vehicles. For this reason, contact local
authorities for further information.
• Prevent anybody from using the product without reading the in-
structions. Store this manual for future reference.
• Make sure that all passengers in the vehicle know how to release the
child from the car seat in the event of an emergency.
• If you need to carry out any adjustment on the Car seat or your child
when travelling, stop the vehicle in a safe place.
• Periodically check that the child has not opened the safety buckle on
the car seat and that he/she is not playing with any part of the buckle.
• Do not let children play with the car seat components or parts.
• When the car seat is not in use, it should be left secured to the vehicle seat
or stowed in the boot of the car. In fact, an unsecured car seat may pose
a hazard to the passengers in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
• The Car seat shall be adjusted exclusively by an adult.
• The risk of serious harm to the child increases – both in the event of
an accident and in other circumstances (e.g. sudden braking, etc.) – if
the instructions contained in this manual are not followed carefully.
• No car seat can guarantee your child' s total safety in the case of an acci-
dent but using this product reduces the risk of serious injuries or death.
• Always use the car seat, fitted correctly, including for short journeys.
Your child's safety will be compromised if you do not follow the abo-
ve mentioned rule. In particular, make sure that the child car seat
belt is properly tensioned, free of knots and in proper position.
• Ensure that all passengers fasten their safety harnesses, both for
their own safety and because they may injure the child, in the event
of an accident or sudden braking during the journey.
• Make sure that the vehicle's seats (foldable, tiltable or rotating) are
well secured.
• Check that the car seat headrest does not interfere with the hea-
drest of the child car seat: do not push it forwards. If this is the case,
remove the headrest from the car seat on which the child car seat is
fitted, without resting it on the luggage rack.
• DO NOT use the product for more than 11 years, after this period,
alterations of the materials (e.g., due to exposure to sunlight) may
reduce or compromise the product's effectiveness.
• After an accident, even of light entity, the Car seat shall be replaced because
it may have suffered damages, which may not be visible at the naked eye.
• Do not use second-hand Car seats: they may have suffered damages not
visible at the naked eye, but such to compromise the product' s safety.
• Do not use a car seat if it has been damaged, deformed or excessi-
vely worn out, or if any parts are missing, as the original safety featu-
res may have been compromised.
• Do not remove the labels or logos from the product.
• The seat fabric must only be replaced with another approved by the
manufacturer as it forms an integral part of the child car seat. To ensu-
re the safety of the child car seat, never use it without its fabric cover.
• The car seat is no longer usable if the safety harness shows signs of
cutting or fraying.
