in relation to the lower section of the child
car seat (Diag. 3). In this case the child car
seat must not be installed on that specific
seat, and you should try installing it on a
seat that does not have this inconvenience.
Please contact the car manufacturer for
further information on this aspect.
• The child car seat can be fitted into the
front passenger seat or any other back
seats, always in a forward facing direction.
Never use this child car seat on vehicle
seats which are facing sideways or
rearwards (diag. 4)
WARNING! According to car accident
statistics, the rear seats of a vehicle are
generally safer than the front seat: it is
therefore recommended to fit the child
car seat into the rear seats of the car. In
particular, the central rear seat is the safest,
when fitted with a 3-point safety strap: in
this case it is recommended to fit the child
car seat onto the central rear seat of the
vehicle.
If the child car seat is fitted in the front seat
of the car, in order to ensure maximum
safety, 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 adjusting the
backrest to the most vertical position. If the
vehicle is fitted with an adjuster to regulate
the height of the safety belt, position it as
low as possible. Check that the safety belt
adjuster is behind (or at the most aligned)
with the backrest of the vehicle seat (Diag.
5A and 5B).
It is not recommended to fit the child car
seat into a front seat equipped with airbag.
If you wish to fit the child car seat in any
seat protected by airbag, always refer to
the vehicle instructions manual. 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.
