between the straps and the upper part of the shoulders there must be a one-finger
space (1 cm);

• The chest protectors are at the same height as the child's shoulders;
• The tips of the central buckle are attached correctly.
5.2 INSTALLATION IN THE FORWARD-FACING POSITION
(Children between 76 and 105 cm in height, ISOFIX + Top Tether + harness)
WARNING! Using the car seat in the rear-facing position is mandatory for a child up
to 15 months of age and 76 cm in height. The rear-facing position remains the safest,
even after exceeding this limit, and it is therefore advisable to use the car seat facing
backwards for as long as possible.
Rotate the seat into the forward-facing position. Place the seat so that it is in the
forward-facing position (fig. 49 e 50). Make sure that it is locked.
Attach the ISOFIX connectors (fig. 51) (cfr. par. 4.6).
Check that the ISOFIX attachment indicators are green on both sides.
Push the car seat against the passengerseat, making sure that both ISOFIX connectors
are extended in the same position. Shake the car seat to be sure it is correctly fixed in
place and check again that the ISOFIX safety buttons are green.
Grasp the Top Tether belt and, if necessary, lengthen the strap by pressing the
appropriate locking button, extending it to the desired length (fig. 52).
Attach the Top Tether to the appropriate anchoring point on the vehicle indicated by
the symbol (fig. 53):
Tighten the Top Tether belt until the indicator turns green. The Top Tether belt must
pass over the backrest of the vehicle passenger seat, it must never pass over the
headrest. If necessary, lift up or remove the headrest from the passenger seat (fig. 54).
