can only be installed on a front vehicle
seat if the front airbag has been disa-
bled: check with the car manufacturer
or the relative user manual for instruc-
tions on how to disable the airbag. It
is always recommended to slide the
vehicle seat as far back as possible,
according to whether passengers are
travelling in the back.
• It is recommended to ensure that all
passengers know how to release the
child from the car seat in the case of
an emergency.
• Pay close attention on how to install
the Base and the child car seat inside
the vehicle, to prevent a loose seat or
car door from interfering with it.
• Always check that the vehicle seat belts
and the child car seat safety harness
are all tightened correctly, they are not
twisted or in an incorrect position. The
tighter the harness straps, the more
protection the child car seat is able
to offer.
• Do not overload the KeyFit Base with
heavy objects
• No child car seat can guarantee the
total safety of your child in the event of
an accident, but the use of 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 acci-
dents, but also in other circumstances
( e.g. sudden braking, etc.) if the in-
structions provided in this manual are
not followed carefully: always check
that the Base and the child car seat
are fastened correctly to the vehicle
seat.
• If the Base and the child car seat are
damaged, deformed or worn out,
they must be replaced, as their origi-
nal safety features and standards may
have been compromised.
• Check the product regularly for signs
of wear and damage. Should any part
be damaged, do not use the product
and keep it out of reach of children.
• This product must not be modified
in any way, unless the modification is
approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not install accessories, spare parts,
or any component not supplied by the
manufacturer.
• Never leave your child unattended in
the car seat.
• Never place the child seat on a vehi-
cle seat without fastening it securely
in place; it could hurt or injure other
passengers in the car.
• Never place anything except an acces-
sory specifically approved for use with
the product between the Base and the
vehicle seat, between the vehicle seat
and the child car seat or between the
child car seat and the child: in the event
of an accident, the Base and child car
seat may not operate correctly.
• After an accident, even a minor one,
the Base and the child car seat may
incur damage, even if it is not visible
to the naked eye: they must therefore
be replaced.
• DO NOT use the product for more than
5 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 second hand devices or
equipment: they may have suffered
structural damage which is not vis-
ible to the naked eye but however
compromise the safety of the product.
• Do not transport loose or unsecured
objects or baggage on the back shelf
of the vehicle: in the event, of an ac-
cident or sudden braking, they may
injure the passengers.
• Ensure that all the car passengers fas-
ten their seat belts, for their own safety
and because, during the journey, they
