INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
VERY IMPORTANT: TO BE
READ IMMEDIATELY
• lease follow carefully these instructions on how to
assemble and fit the product. The product must not
be used by anybody who has not read these instruc-
tions.
• Keep this instruction booklet for future use.
• Each country has different safety laws and regula-
tions for the transportation of children in cars. For this
reason, it is recommended that you should contact
your local authority for further information.
• WARNING! According to car accident statistics, the
rear seats of a car 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, if it is fitted with a
3-point safety belt.
• WARNING! DANGER! For Group 0+ (from 0 up to 13 kg):
Never fit this Child Car Seat into a front seat equipped
with front airbag. Fit the Child Car Seat into the front
seat only if the frontal airbag has been deactivated:
check with the car manufacturer, or in the car instruc-
tions manual, whether the airbag can be deactivated.
• Ensure that all the passengers of the vehicle know
how to release the child from the Child Car Seat in
case of emergency.
• Use for group 1 (from 9 up to 18 kg): If the Child Car
Seat is fitted in the front seat of the car with the fron-
tal airbag deactivated, it is recommended to push
the seat back as much as possible, bearing in mind
the comfort of the passenger sitting in the seat di-
rectly behind it.
• Never use this Child Car Seat on side-facing or rear-
facing car seats.
• Fit the Child Car Seat only in front-facing seats that
are correctly secured in the car. Never leave folding
or rotating car seats unsecured, they may be a source
of danger in the event of an accident.
• Pay attention when fitting the Child Car Seat into the
car to avoid that a mobile car seat or car door may
interfere with it.
• Never fit the Child Car Seat into a car seat if it is only
equipped with a (2-point) lap belt.
• No Child Car Seat can guarantee the total safety of your
child in the event of an accident, but the use of this pro-
duct reduces the risk of serious injuries or death.
• The risk of serious injuries to the child increases, not
only in the case of accidents, but also in other cir-
cumstances (i.e.: sudden braking, etc.) if these instruc-
tions are not followed carefully: always check that the
Child Car Seat is secured correctly to the car seat.
• If the Child Car Seat is damaged, deformed or worn
out, it must be replaced: it may no longer comply
with the original safety standards.
• This product must not be modified in any way, unless
the modification is approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not fit any accessories, spare parts or components
not supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
• Never leave the child unattended in the Child Car
Seat for any reason.
• Never leave the Child Car Seat unsecured in the car
seat, it may hurt or injure the passengers.
• Do not insert anything between the car seat and the
child car seat, or between the child car seat and the
child, unless it is an accessory approved by the ma-
nufacturer: in case of accident the Child Car Seat may
not operate correctly.
• In case the car is left under direct sunlight, it is recom-
mended to cover the Child Car Seat.
• An accident, even a minor incident, may cause da-
mage to the Child Car Seat, which is not visible to
the naked eye: it is therefore necessary to replace the
Child Car Seat.
• Do not use second-hand Child Car Seats: they may
have suffered structural damage not visible to the
naked eye, which could compromise the safety of
the product.
• Artsana declines all responsibility for any inappropria-
te use of the product.
• The fabric cover can be replaced only with another
fabric cover approved by the manufacturer, as it is
an integral part of the Child Car Seat. For your child's
safety, the Child Car Seat must never be used without
fabric cover.
• Check that the safety harness strap is not twisted to
avoid that the strap or any parts of the Child Car Seat
remain trapped between the car doors, or rub against
cutting edges. If the safety harness is cut or frayed, it
must be replaced.
• Do not transport loose or unsecured objects or bag-
gage on the back shelf of the vehicle: in the event of
an accident or sudden braking, they may injure the
passengers.
• Ensure that all the car passengers fasten their seat belt,
for their own safety and because, during the journey,
they may injure the child in the event of an accident or
sudden braking of the car.
• On long journeys, it is recommended to make fre-
quent stops: children tire very easily. Do not remove
the child from the Child Car Seat while travelling. If
the child needs attention, it is necessary to stop the
car in a safe place.
• Premature babies, born after less than 37 weeks of
pregnancy, may be at risk in the Child Car Seat. The-
se newborn babies may have breathing difficulties
when seated in the Child Car Seat. We recommend
to consult your doctor, or the hospital's staff, to have a
