• No child car seat can guarantee the total
safety of your child in the event of an ac-

the risk of serious injuries or death.
• Always use the child car seat, fitted cor-
rectly and with the safety harness fastened,
including short journeys. Not using the

child's safety. In particular, check that the
safety harness is tensioned correctly, is not
twisted and that it is fastened in the cor-
rect position.
• An accident, even a minor incident, may
cause damages to the child car seat, which

place before carrying out any adjustment
operations on the child car seat or for the
child.

unfasten the buckle of the safety harness,
or that it does not tamper with the child
car seat or any of its parts.
• Avoid giving food to your child while trav-
elling, in particular lollypops, ice lollies or
other foods on sticks: it may injure your
child in the event of an accident or sudden
braking.
• On long journeys, it is recommended to
make frequent stops: children tire very eas-
ily in child car seats and need to move. It is
recommended to let your child in and out
of the car from side pavement, not traffic
road side
• Do not remove any labels or brands from
the fabric cover; since this operation may
damage the cover of the child car seat.
• Prolonged exposure of the child car seat to
direct sunlight may cause the materials or
fabric to fade.
• If the vehicle has been left in the sun, check
that the different parts of the child car seat
are not too hot: in such an event, let the
child car seat cool down first before plac-
ing the child into the it, in order to avoid
burns.
• When the child car seat is not in use, it
should be left secured to the car's seat, or
stowed in the car's boot with the seat incli-
nation adjuster handle completely inserted
into the lower part of the child car seat. An
unsecured child car seat may be a source of
danger in the event of an accident or sud-
den braking.
