HOW TO FIT THE CHILD CAR SEAT INTO THE CAR
FOR GROUP 1 (From 9 up to 18 kg)
WARNING! When it is used for Group 1 (from 9 up to
18 kg), always fit the Child Car Seat in a forward-facing
direction.
If the Child Car Seat is fitted 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 passen-
ger 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,
fix it in the lowest position. Then check that the car
seat safety belt adjuster is either in a backward posi-
tion with respect to the backrest of the car seat (or at
least aligned to it).

must pass for fitting for Group 1 (from 9 up to 18 kg)
are highlighted in RED.
