WARNING! Read these restrictions and
requisites carefully to ensure the product
and car seat are used safely: if you don't, the
safety levels cannot be guaranteed.
• The child car seat can be fitted onto the
front passenger seat or any other back
seats. In any case the vehicle seat must
be facing forwards. Never use this child
car seat on vehicle seats which are facing
sideways or facing rearwards (diag. 6)
• The vehicle seat must be fitted with a
3-point static or 3-point retractor safety

(Diag. 7).
• WARNING! Never fit the child car seat to
a vehicle seat that is only equipped with a
2-point safety belt (Diag. 8)
• Never use the booster cushion if the child
weighs more than 6 kg.
2. CAR INSTALLATION
The child car seat can be installed with or
without the base (optional). In both cases,
the child car seat must always be installed
facing rearwards.
2.1 INITIAL CONFIGURATION OF
THE HARNESS STRAPS AND
SHOULDER PADS
The child car seat is fitted with 2 different
types of shoulder straps (A and B) according
to the version being used. Before using the
child car seat, assemble the shoulder straps
as follows:
• Shoulder straps version A (Diag. 9A, 9B
and 9C): thread the harness straps through
the slots in the fabric cover (not through
the seat structure below) so that they are
visible on the seat. Thread the harness
buckle through the crotch pad.
• Shoulder straps version B (Diag. 10A and
10B): thread the harness straps though
the two shoulder pads. Thread the harness
buckle through the crotch pad.
2.2 INSTALLATION WITH THE BASE
To install the child car seat with base on the
vehicle seat, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the child car seat from the base
by pulling the release lever behind the
backrest whilst using the carry handle
to lift it upwards (Diag. 11).
2. Position the base on the chosen vehicle
seat, position it as seen in Diag. 12 so that
it touches the vehicle seat backrest.
3. Pull the vehicle safety belt and connect
it to the relative buckle, threading the
abdominal belt through the two slots (L)
indicated by the light blue arrows; pull it
as tight as possible (Diag. 13).
4. Before attaching the child car seat onto
the base, check that the stabiliser block
is closed (Diag. 14).
