How to install the car seat with the base
Primo Viaggio Lounge features the Ganciomatic System
for connection and release in the car with the Base
i-Size.
When used with Base i-Size, you can use Primo Viaggio
Lounge with a reclined backrest.
1 To recline the backrest in the 3 positions available, use the
handlebar on the upper end of the backrest.
2 Attach the car seat to Base I-Size. Release the car seat by
pulling the lever on the lower end of the backrest while
lifting the car seat.
3 Adjust the base so that the car seat is neither distant from
the vehicle seat’s backrest nor against it preventing its
correct attachment (as shown in the figure).
4 Pull the handlebar on the base and push it or move it away
from the vehicle seat’s backrest.
You can check whether the car seat is attached correctly to
the base through the red and green indicators at the back of
the base.
5 Press the two buttons on the handlebar, rotate it and
position it in the direction of the vehicle seat. Installation is
now complete.
6 The car seat handlebar has four fixed positions. To rotate it,
press the two buttons on the handlebar and move this to
the required angle. Ensure it clicks into position.
• Position A: the in-vehicle position;
• Position B: the position for transport by hand and for
installation on a base, stroller or chassis;
• Position C: this is the resting position;
• Position D: stops the car seat from rocking.
How to install the car seat without the
base
When used without Base i-Size, you can install Primo
Viaggio Lounge with the BACKREST IN THE UPRIGHT
POSITION, ONLY.
7 If the backrest is reclined, use the handlebar on the upper
end of the backrest to bring it to the upright position.
IMPORTANT! The car seat must be parallel to the
ground. If necessary, you can place rolled-up towels or
swimming pool float tubes in the folds of the vehicle’s seats,
as shown in the figure.
Fit the car seat with the child seated inside, remembering to
secure the child with the harness.
8 Slide the lower part of the vehicle seatbelt into the two
guides on the car seat (fig_a) and buckle it (fig_b), ensuring
the seatbelt is taut, as shown in the figure.
Grasp the upper part of the vehicle seatbelt and pass it
behind the car seat backrest (fig_c).
9 Insert the belt into the rear guide (fig_a). Tighten the vehicle
seat belt. Turn the handlebar against the vehicle seat. For
the handlebar functions, refer to fig_6 in this manual.
10 The seat is fitted with Kinetic Pods, to ensure greater safety
in the event of a side impact. Once you have positioned
the seat in the car, pull out COMPLETELY the Kinetic Pod
situated on the side FACING THE CAR DOOR by turning it
clockwise (fig_a). To return the Pod to its initial position,
rotate it counter-clockwise (fig_b). IMPORTANT: Make sure
the Kinetic Pod situated on the side facing the inside of the
car is never pulled out. Installation is now complete.
How to use the car seat on the aircraft
This unit is certified for aircraft use.
11 Position the car seat on the aircraft seat with the backrest in
the most upright position.
Thread the lap belt through the slots in the shell and lock
the latch plate into the buckle.
Pull the strap to tighten the seat belt.
Adjust the handle in the forward most position as shown.
IMPORTANT! Use only on forward facing seats. If the
car seat can not be properly secured ask for flight attendant
help.
IMPORTANT! Do not use the base to install the car seat
on an aircraft seat.
How to strap your child
12 To release the harness, press the red button on the crotch
strap buckle and open the chest clip by pressing the button
(fig_a). To engage the harness, place the two shoulder strap
tongues in position and insert them into the buckle of the
crotch strap until they click into place (fig. b).
Join the 2 parts to engage the chest clip.
13 To slacken the harness, insert a finger through the seat
opening (1), keep the metal button pressed, and with the
other hand pull on the straps (2).
14 Tighten the straps by pulling the central adjustment strap
(1) towards you, making sure that the straps are snug to
the child’s body in every point and that the chest clip is
positioned on the child’s sternum (2).
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the straps, and ensure
you leave minimum slack.
15 IMPORTANT! In winter, make sure to never strap your
child to the car seat wearing bulky clothing or placing
blankets between the child’s body and the harness. This
could cause incorrect positioning of the safety harness, with
serious consequences in the event of a collision.
Use a blanket or an approved Martinelli accessory to protect
your child from the weather.
16 The harness and the headrest can be adjusted
simultaneously to 6 different heights so as to follow the
growth of the child.
To adjust height, open the door to access the opening in
