• Check that the vehicle car seat headrest does not interfere with that
of the child car seat: do not push it forwards. If this is the case, re-
move the headrest from the car seat on which the child car seat is
fitted, without resting it on the luggage rack.
• After an accident, even if minor, the child car seat must be replaced
because it may have suffered damages, although these damages
may not be visible to the naked eye.
• Do not use second-hand child car seats: they may have suffered
damages not visible at the naked eye, but such to compromise the
product's safety.
• Do not use a car seat if it has been damaged, deformed or excessive-
ly worn out, or if any parts are missing, as the original safety features
may have been compromised.
• Do not remove the labels or logos from the product.
• The seat fabric must only be replaced with another approved by
the manufacturer as it forms an integral part of the child car seat.
To ensure the safety of the child car seat, never use it without its
fabric cover.
• The child car seat must be replaced should the harness be cut or frayed.
• This product must not be modified in any way unless the modifi-
cation has been approved by the manufacturer. Do not install ac-
cessories, spare parts or components which are not supplied and
approved by the manufacturer and intended for the child car seat.
• Do not use anything – pillows, blankets, etc. – to distance the child
car seat from the vehicle seat or to distance the child from the child
car seat: in case of accident, the child car seat may not work properly.
• Make sure that no objects are positioned between the child car seat
and the vehicle seat or between the child car seat and the car door.
• Do not transport loose, unsecured objects or baggage on the back
shelf of the vehicle: they may injure the passengers in the event of
an accident or sudden braking.
• Never leave your child unattended in the car, it can be dangerous!
• Do not carry more than one child at a time in the car seat.
• Avoid giving food to your child while travelling, especially lollies, ice
lollies or other foods on sticks. they may injure your child in case of
accident or sudden braking.
• Stop frequently during long trips: children tire easily whilst using
the child car seat and need to move around. It is recommended
that children get in and out of the child car seat from the curb side.
• If the vehicle has been left in the sun, check that the different parts
of the child car seat are not too hot: otherwise, let them cool off
before accommodating your child, in order to prevent burns.
• DO NOT use the product in built-in safety harness mode for more
than 10 years. Usable for up to 12 years from the first use in the con-
figuration with the vehicle's seat belt. after this period, alterations of
the materials (e.g., due to exposure to sunlight) may reduce or com-
promise the product's effectiveness.
• According to accident statistics, a vehicle's rear seat is generally safer
than the front seat: therefore, we suggest installing the car seat on
the rear seat of the vehicle. In particular, the safer seat is the rear cen-
tral one, if features a 3-point belt: in this case, we suggest position-
ing the Car seat on the rear central seat. If the Car seat is positioned
on the front seat, for further safety, we suggest pushing the seat as
far back as possible, depending on the presence of other passen-
gers on the rear seat, and adjust the back in an upright position. If
the car features a belt height regulator, secure this in the lowest po-
sition. Then, make sure that the belt regulator is positioned far back
(or aligned) compared to the vehicle seat backrest. If the front seat
is equipped with a front airbag, we suggest installing the Car seat
on this seat. Always refer to your vehicle's instruction manual when
installing the child car seat on any seat protected by an airbag.
• Artsana declines any liability for the improper use of the product or
any other use other than that specified in these instructions.
