PRODUCT CONFIGURATIONS

The Kiros i-Size child car seat is available in two versions:

Kiros i-Size Clip-On (Fig. A) compatible with the Alysia stroller
Kiros i-Size Fast-In (Fig. B) is compatible with the Best Friend stroller and some strollers in the Chicco range using the appropriate adaptors. The only diﬀerence between the two versions is the way they attach to the stroller. For use with Chicco strollers refer to the instructions that came with the stroller.
Installation in the car (with or without the i-Size base) works the same for both versions.
WARNING! The instructions and illustrations provided in this manual refer to the Kiros i-Size Fast-In version.
The Kiros i-Size child car seat can be installed in two diﬀerent ways:
With the i-Size base, which may be part of the product conﬁguration or may be sold as an accessory
Without the i-Size base, with the car’s 3-point seat belts

WARNINGS

Keep this instruction manual for future reference.
Read these instructions carefully before assembling and installing the product. Do not let anyone use the product unless they have read these instructions.
WARNING! According to accident statistics, a vehicle’s rear seat is generally safer than the front seat: therefore it is recommended to in-stall the i-Size base and the child car seat on the rear seats.
WARNING! SERIOUS DANGER! Never use this device ﬁtted on the front vehicle’s seats equipped with a front airbag. It is possible to ﬁt the i-Size base and the child car seat on a front seat only if the front airbag has been deactivated: check with the car manufacturer or see the owner’s manual for instructions on how to deactivate the airbag. It is always recommended to slide the vehicle seat as far back as possible depending on whether passengers are traveling on the back seat or not.
Make sure that all passengers in the vehicle know how to release the child from the child car seat in case of an emergency.
When ﬁtting the i-size base and the child car seat into the car pay attention to avoid the vehicle seat from potentially interfering with it.
No i-Size base and relative child car seat can guarantee your child’s safety in the case of an accident, but using this product 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 circumstances (i.e.: sudden braking, etc.) if these instructions are not followed carefully: always make sure that the i-Size base and the child car seat are correctly fastened to the seat.
I f the i-Size base and the child car seat are damaged, deformed or very worn, they must be replaced as their original safety features may have been compromised. After an accident (even minor ones) the i-Size base and child car seat can suﬀer permanent damages, even if not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, they must be replaced.
This product must not be modiﬁed in any way unless the modiﬁcation has been 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 i-Size base and the child car seat unsecured on the vehicle seat, it may hurt or harm the passengers.
Never place anything except an approved accessory between the i-Size base and the seat or between the vehicle seat and the child car seat or between the child car seat and the child: in case of an accident, the i-Size base and the car seat may not work properly.
DO NOT use the product for more than 5 years. After this period, alterations of materials (e.g., due to exposure to sunlight) may reduce or compromise the product’s eﬀectiveness.
Do not use second-hand devices: they may have been structurally damaged and not visible to the naked eye but still liable to com-promise the safety of the product.
Check that the safety harness strap is not twisted to avoid the strap or any parts of the child car seat becoming trapped between the car doors, or rubbing against cutting edges. If the safety harness is cut or frayed, it must be replaced.
It is recommended to cover the child car seat if the vehicle is left exposed to direct sunlight. 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.
I n the ﬁrst few months after birth, children may have diﬃculty breathing in a seated position. Avoid leaving children to sleep in the seat until they can lift their heads themselves.
Premature babies born before the 37th week of pregnancy can be at risk if placed in a child car seat. These babies might incur breathing problems when sat in a child car seat. We, therefore, recommend you to contact your doctor or the hospital staﬀ, before leaving the hospital. They can recommend the most suitable type of child car seat based on your child’s situation.
Do not transport loose, unsecured objects or baggage on the back shelf of the vehicle: they may injure the passengers in the case of an accident or sudden breaking.
Make sure that all car passengers fasten their safety harnesses, for their own safety and because, during the journey, they may harm the child during an accident or sudden braking of the car.
On long-distance journeys, make frequent stops. Children get tired easily. Never, for any reason, remove your child from the child car seat whilst the car is moving. If your child needs attention, ﬁnd a safe place and stop.
Artsana declines all responsibility for any inappropriate use of the product.
