For children of the 0, 0+ weight group, the child’s seat is facing
backwards (babies up to
13 kg) and the child is restrained by the child’s seat belts (D).
As the child grows, passing to weight group 1, remove the child’s seat
from the base and refit it facing forwards.
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒check whether the release lever (B) is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets (A), then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices (C) aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibit improper coupling with only one
