WARNINGS

This child car seat has been approved under regulation ECE R 129/03 for transport of children ranging from 76 to 150 cm in height.
This car seat must always be installed in the front-facing position and used by a child who is older than 15 months.
Each country implements different laws and regulations in terms of safety to carry children inside vehicles. For this reason, contact local authorities for further information.
Prevent anybody from using the product without reading the instructions. Store this manual for future reference.
Make sure that all passengers in the vehicle know how to release the child from the car seat in the event of an emergency.
If you need to carry out any adjustment on the Car seat or your child when traveling, stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Periodically check that the child has not opened the safety buckle on the car seat and that he/she is not playing with any part of the buckle.
Do not let children play with the car seat components or parts.
When the car seat is not in use, it should be left secured to the vehicle seat or stowed in the boot of the car. In fact, an unsecured car seat may pose a hazard to the passengers in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
The Car seat shall be adjusted exclusively by an adult.
The risk of serious harm to the child increases – both in the event of an accident and in other circumstances (e.g. sudden braking, etc.) – if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed carefully.
No car seat can guarantee your child’s total safety in the case of an accident but using this product reduces the risk of serious injuries or death.
Always use the car seat, fitted correctly, including for short journeys. Your child’s safety will be compromised if you do not follow the above-mentioned rule. In particular, make sure that the child’s car seat belt is properly tensioned, free of knots, and in the proper position.
Ensure that all passengers fasten their safety belt, both for their own safety and because they may injure the child, in the event of an accident or sudden braking during the journey.
Make sure that the vehicle’s seats (foldable, tiltable or rotating) are well secured.
Check that the car seat headrest does not interfere with the headrest of the child’s car seat: do not push it forwards. If this is the case, remove the headrest from the car seat on which the child car seat is fitted, without resting it on the luggage rack.
DO NOT use the product for more than 10 years, after this period, alterations of the materials (e.g., due to exposure to sunlight) may reduce or compromise the product’s effectiveness.
After an accident, even of a light entity, the Car seat shall be replaced because it may have suffered damages, which may not be visible at the naked eye.
Do not use second-hand 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 excessively 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’s car seat. To ensure the safety of the child’s car seat, never use it without its fabric cover.
The car seat is no longer usable if the safety harness shows signs of cutting or fraying.
Do not modify or add any components to the product without the manufacturer’s approval. Do not install accessories, spare parts, or components which are not supplied and approved by the manufacturer and intended for the child’s car seat.
Do not use any item, e.g. pillows or covers, to raise the Car seat from the vehicle’s seat or to raise your child from the Car seat: in case of an accident, the child’s car seat may not work properly.
Make sure there are no objects between the child’s car seat and the vehicle seat or between the child’s car seat and the car door.
Make sure that no objects or luggage is carried in particular on the rear shelf inside the vehicle, without previously having anchored or positioned them safely: 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 feeding your child when traveling, especially avoid lollipops, ice lollies, or any other food on sticks. They may injure your child in case of an 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 curbside.
If the vehicle has been exposed to the sun, make sure that the various parts of the Car seat are not over-heated before laying your child in it: otherwise, let them cool off before accommodating your child, in order to prevent burns.
Artsana declines any liability for the improper use of the product or any other use other than that specified in these instructions.
