• This Child Car Seat is approved for “Group 0+/1”, for
the transport of children from birth up to 18 Kg of
weight, and conforms to European norm ECE R 44/04.
• This Child Car Seat has been classified as “Universal”, and
can therefore be fitted into any car model. WARNING!
“Universal” means that it fits most, but not all, car seats.

gulation No. 44.04 series of amendments, for general
use in vehicles, and it will fit most, but not all car seats.
2. A correct fit is likely if the vehicle manufacturer has
declared that the vehicle is capable of accepting a
“Universal” child restraint for this age group.
3. This child restraint has been classified as “Universal”
under more stringent conditions than those that were
applied to earlier designs not displaying this notice.
4. Only suitable if the vehicle is fitted with a 3-point
static or 3-point retractor safety belt approved to
UN/ECE Regulation No. 16, or other equivalent
standards.
5. If in doubt, consult either the child restraint manu-
facturer or the retailer.
