Instructions for use
VERY IMPORTANT: TO BE
READ IMMEDIATELY
• lease follow carefully these instructions on how
to assemble and t the product. The product
must not be used by anybody who has not read
these instructions.
• Keep this instruction booklet for future use.
• Each country has different safety laws and regu-
lations 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
t the Child Car Seat into the rear seats of the
car. In particular, the central rear seat is the sa-
fest, if it is tted with a 3-point safety belt.
• WARNING! DANGER! For Group 0+ (from 0 up
to 13 kg): Never t 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 manu-
facturer, or in the car instructions manual, whe-
ther 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 tted in the front seat of the car with
the frontal airbag deactivated, it is recommen-
ded to push the seat back as much as possible,
bearing in mind the comfort of the passenger
sitting in the seat directly 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 lea-
ve folding or rotating car seats unsecured, they
may be a source of danger in the event of an
accident.
• Pay attention when tting the Child Car Seat
into the car to avoid that a mobile car seat or
car door may interfere with it.
• Never t 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 sa-
fety of your child in the event of an accident,
but the use of this product reduces the risk of
serious injuries or death.
• The risk of serious injuries to the child increa-
ses, not only in the case of accidents, but also in
other circumstances (i.e.: sudden braking, etc.)
if these instructions 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 modied in any way,
unless the modication is approved by the ma-
nufacturer.
• Do not t any accessories, spare parts or com-
ponents not supplied or approved by the manu-
facturer.
• 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 ap-
proved by the manufacturer: in case of accident
the Child Car Seat may not operate correctly.
• In case the car is left under direct sunlight, it is
recommended to cover the Child Car Seat.
• An accident, even a minor incident, may cause
damage to the Child Car Seat, which is not visi-
ble 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 visi-
ble to the naked eye, which could compromise
the safety of the product.
• Artsana declines all responsibility for any inap-
propriate use of the product.
• The fabric cover can be replaced only with ano-
ther 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 ne-
ver 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
baggage 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
frequent stops: children tire very easily. Do not
remove the child from the Child Car Seat while
travelling. If the child needs attention, it is ne-
cessary 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. These newborn babies may have brea-
thing difculties when seated in the Child Car
Seat. We recommend to consult your doctor, or
the hospital’s staff, to have a medical opinion
on your child, and whether it can be carried in
the Child Car Seat when leaving the hospital.
