How to Remove the Backrest/Seat's Fabric
Cover
The fabric covers of the headrest, backrest and
seat are fi xed with Velcro straps and zips, and
therefore, they are easy to remove and replace.
Backrest
1. Unfasten the headrest' s 2 side zips and then
unfasten the 3 Velcro straps (diag. 25).
2. Open the rear velcro fastener completely
(diag. 26).
3. Remove the small pillows of the side fl aps
(diag. 27).
4. Remove the fabric cover from the frame
(diag. 28).
To replace the fabric cover onto the frame,
repeat operations 1,2,3,4 in the reverse order,
paying special attention that the fabric cover
fi ts and adheres correctly to the frame.
Seat
The seat is formed of two rigid plastic parts
hooked to each other.
To remove the fabric cover from the seat, it is
fi rst necessary to release the upper part from
the fi xed lower part:
1. Insert a fi nger into the slot on the seat and
press the button inside, following the in-
structions provided in the "Adjusting the
reclining backrest" paragraph (Fig. 29).
2. Turn the 4 handles, until they coincide with
the OPEN symbols (diag. 30).
WARNING! At the end of the operation,
check that the small reference circles, lo-
cated on the base, and the handles are
aligned, and that the two parts are correctly
unlocked.
3. Position the child car seat as shown in diag.
31, and raise the backrest to the highest po-
sition.
4. Raise the upper part of the child car seat,
removing at the same time the rear panel
of the backrest (diag. 32).
5. Release the fabric cover, by unfastening the
5 press-studs located on the base (diag. 33).
6. Remove the cover from the upper part of
the seat (diag. 34).
To replace the fabric cover onto the frame:

How to Release the Backrest /Seat
The child car seat can be used in the car only
WITH the backrest fi tted onto the seat cor-

The backrest can be released and removed
from the seat ONLY for reasons of space, when
not in use.
To release the backrest from the seat:
1. Pull out the seat inclination adjuster handle
to the third position; following the instruc-
tions contained in the paragraph "How to
Adjust the Inclination of the Backrest".
2. Exercise some pressure onto the backrest
towards its rear part, in the position where
the joint is fi tted to the seat, and release
the two locking devices (diag. 41).
To fi t the backrest onto the seat, repeat the
operations described above in the reverse
order.
WARNING! At the end of the above opera-
tions, check that the upper and lower parts of
the seat are correctly locked to each other.
