• 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.
WARNING! According to car accident sta-
tistics, the rear seats of a car are generally
safer than the front seat: it is therefore recom-
mended to fi t the child car seat into the rear
seats of the car. In particular, the central rear
seat is the safest, if it is fi tted with a 3-point
safety harness: in this event, it is recommend-
ed to fi t the child car seat into the central rear
seat of the car.
If the child car seat is fi tted in the front seat
of the car, 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 to adjust the backrest
in the most vertical position. If the car is
equipped with a safety belt height adjuster,
fi x it in the lowest position, then check that
the car seat safety belt adjuster is either in a
backward position with respect to the back-
rest of the car seat (or at least aligned to it)
(see diag. 5). If the front seat is equipped with
frontal airbag, it is recommended that you fi t
the child car seat into this seat. If you wish
to fi t the child car seat in any seat protected
by airbag, always refer to the vehicle instruc-
tions manual.
MAINTENANCE

must only be carried out by an adult.

Do not spin the fabric cover, let it dry without
wringing.
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

used without the fabric cover: it could be dan-
gerous for your child.
How to Clean the Plastic Parts
Clean the plastic parts with a soft, damp cloth
or a neutral detergent.
Never use abrasive detergents or solvents.
The movable parts of the child car seat must
not be lubricated.
Checking the Condition of the
Components
It is recommended to check regularly the con-
dition of the following components to ensure
that they are not worn out:
• Fabric cover: Check that the padding does
not come out from the seams. Check the
condition of the seams: they must always
be integral.
• Plastic parts: Check that the plastic parts
are not worn out, damaged or faded.
CAUTION! If the child car seat is deformed or
worn out, it must be replaced: it may no longer
comply with the original safety standards.
Storing the Product
When it is not fi tted into the car, it is rec-
ommended to store the child car seat in a
dry place, away from sources of heat and to
protect it from dust, humidity and direct sun-
