INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

WARNINGS:

Any adjustments made to the car seat should only be carried out by an adult.
Each country has different safety laws and regulations for the transportation of children in cars. For this reason, contact local authorities for further information.
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.
This product is only intended to be used as a child car seat; it is not meant for use indoors.
No car seat can guarantee your child’s total safety in the event of an accident, but the use of this product reduces the risk of serious injuries or death when installed correctly.
Always use the child 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 car seat belt is properly tensioned, free of knots and in proper position.
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 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.
Do not use a child car seat that is damaged, deformed, excessively worn out, or missing any parts as the original safety features may have been 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 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.
WARNING! The rigid elements and plastic components of the advanced child restraint system must be positioned and installed in such a way as to keep them from becoming trapped by a movable seat or vehicle door during everyday use of the vehicle.
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.
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 event of an accident or sudden braking.
Do not let other children play with the child car seat components orparts.
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 safety harnesses 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.
Warning! When adjusting the car seat, make sure that no moving parts come into contact with your child.
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.
Periodically check that the child has not opened the safety buckle on the child car seat and that he/she is not playing with any part pertaining to it.
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.
Do not remove the labels or logos from the product
Avoid exposing the child car seat to the sun for extended periods of time: it may change the colour of the materials and fabric.
In 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.
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.
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.
Artsana declines any liability for the improper use of the product or any other use other than that specified in these instructions.

(Fig. 5).
Position the car seat on the seat of the vehicle.
Extract the Isofix connectors (P) completely, using the Isofix connector buttons (Q)
(Fig. 6).
