Each country has different safety laws and regulations for the transportation of children in cars. For this reason, contact local author-ties for further information.
Measures for adjusting the child car seat shall be implemented exclusively by an adult.
Do not let anyone use this product without having first read the instructions.
The risk of serious injuries to your child increases, not only in the case of accidents, but also in other circumstances (sudden braking, etc.) if these instructions are not followed carefully.
Keep this instruction booklet for future reference: there is a dedicated pocket behind the backrest of the seat for storing the instruction booklet.
The product is intended exclusively to be used as a Car Seat, therefore not for home use.
Artisanal declines any liability for the improper use of the product or any other use other than that specified in these instructions.
No car seat can guarantee your child’s total safety in case of accident, but using it reduces the risk of serious injuries.
Always transport a child using the child car seat, fitted correctly, including for short journeys; if you fail to do so, you may put their safety at risk. In particular, make sure that the seat belt is properly tensioned, free of knots and in proper position.
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 a minor one, or an accidental fall, the child car seat incurs damage, even if it is not visible to the naked eye. It must therefore be replaced.
Do not use second-hand child car seats: they may have suffered damages not visible to the naked eye, but such to compromise the product’s safety.
Do not use a damaged, deformed, excessively worn out car seat, or with any missing any parts: as its original safety features will have been be compromised.
This product must not be modified in any way unless the modification has been approved by the manufacturer.
Do not install accessories, spare parts or components which are not supplied and approved by the manufacturer on the car seat.
Do not use spacers, for example pillows, blankets, etc., to distance the child car seat from the car 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 and the car seat (e.g., schoolbag, daypack), between the car seat and the vehicle’s seat or between the car seat and car door.
Make sure that the vehicle seats (foldable, tiltable or rotating) are well secured.
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.
Do not let children play with the child car seat components or parts.
Do not let other children play with the child car seat components or parts.
Never leave your child unattended in the car, it can be dangerous!
Do not transport more than one child at a time in the child car seat.
Ensure that all the car passengers fasten their vehicle seat belt for their own safety during the journey, they may injure the child in the event of an accident or sudden braking of the car.
WARNING! When adjusting the child car seat (the headrest and the backrest), make sure that the movable parts of the car seat do not come into contact with the child’s body.
If you need to carry out any adjustment on the child car seat or on your child when travelling, stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Check from time to time that your child does not release the buckle of the vehicle seat belt or has interfered with the car seat or parts of it.
Avoid giving food to your child while traveling, especially ollies, ice ollies or other foods on sticks. Your child may be injured 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 curb side (only if accompanied by an adult).
Do not remove the labels and logos from the cover of the child seat, as this may damage the cover itself.
Avoid exposing the child car seat to the sun for extended periods of time: it may change the colour of the materials and fabric.
If the vehicle has been left in the sun, check that the different parts of the child car seat are not too hot: if necessary, let them cool off before accommodating your child to prevent burns.

1.4 RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE USE OF THE PRODUCT AND VEHICLE SEAT
WARNING! Strictly comply with the following restrictions and requirements for use concerning the product and vehicle seat: If not followed your child’s safety will be compromised.

The height of the child must be between 100 and 150 cm.
The vehicle’s seat must be equipped with 3-point vehicle seat belt, whether static or with winder, approved according to UN/ECE Regulation no. 16 or other equivalent standards (Fig. 1-2).
WARNING! When using in vehicles equipped with rear seat belts with integrated airbags (inflatable seat belts), follow the car manufacturer’s instruction manual.
It may happen that the vehicle seat belt buckle is too long and exceeds the expected height above the bottom of the car seat (Fig 3A-3B).In this case the seat must not be fixed on that seat but must be installed on another seat on which there is no problem. For more information, contact your car manufacturer.
The Car seat can be installed on the front seat, passenger side, or on any of the rear seats, and always positioned in the driving sense. Never use this child car seat on vehicle seats facing the sides or opposite to the direction of the drivers seat (Fig. 4). WARNING! According to accident statistics, a vehicle’s rear seat is generally safer than the front seat: we therefore suggest installing the car seat on the rear seat of the vehicle. In particular, the safer seat is the rear central one, if featuring a 3-point belt: in this case, we suggest positioning 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 passengers on the rear seat, and adjust the backrest in upright position. If the car features a belt height regulator, secure the latter in the lowest position. Then, make sure that the belt regulator is positioned far back (or aligned) compared to the backrest of the vehicle’s seat (Fig. 5A-5B). If the front seat is equipped with front airbag, is not advisable to install 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 airbag.

FOLDING AND TRANSPORT OF THE SEAT

For easy transport of the child car seat, it is possible to compact it by folding the backrest over the seat. To carry out this step, it is necessary to check that the backrest is in the lowest position (see paragraph “7.1 ADJUSTING THE BACKREST HEIGHT”). At this point, use the backrest release lever (M) to fold the backrest into the seat (Fig. 20).
WARNING! With the backrest not fully lowered, the backrest release lever (M) may not be easily accessible. To keep the child car seat compact, remove the backrest blocking strip (J) from its seat and fasten it to one of the two special slots on the side of the backrest width adjustment wheel (K) (Fig. 21). To comfortably move the seat in this configuration, you can use the carrying handle (O) located on the back of the seat (Fig. 22 ).

INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE SIDE SAFETY SYSTEM

The Side Safety System (T) is a device that is installed on the door side for utmost protection in the case of a side impact. To install it, insert the hook “1” in the hole on the side flap (D) on the door side and press the central part until the other end “2” is also fastened to the structure (Fig. 23).

INSTALLING THE SAFE PAD

The Safe Pad (H) is a device that must ALWAYS be installed on the diagonal vehicle seat belt to ensure proper protection in the event of an impact. For correct installation, it is necessary to position the diagonal belt under the two Velcro straps of the Safe Pad (Fig. 24) and close it on itself making sure that the circular part is positioned between the chin and the chest of the child (Fig. 25).
WARNING! The Safe Pad must ALWAYS be used.
