INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

   PRIMO VIAGGIO with ADJUSTABLE BASE

   The "Primo Viaggio" car seat has been designed 

for Group 0+, or children weighing from 0 - 13 

kg. (0 - 12/14 months of age).

   The "Primo Viaggio" car seat has a Ganciomatic 

system, which allows fastening and removing the 

seat from its car base and Peg Perego strollers 

and baby carriages, with a simple flick of the 

hand.

 1•   To detach the child car seat from its base, pull 

the handle behind the backrest upwards with one 

hand while lifting the seat with the other hand.

 2•   To attach the child car seat, line it up with the 

hooks and push downwards with both hands until 

the seat clicks into place.

   SAFETY BELT

 3•   To fasten the safety belt, cross the two straps and 

click the tabs into the buckle.

 4•   To loosen the safety belt, press the red button on 

the buckle.

 5•   The child car seat is equipped with three notches 

for adjusting the level of the safety belt to match 

the child's height. The safety belt should be 

neither too high nor too low in relation to the 

child's shoulders. In the correct position, the 

child's shoulders should be just above the notch.  

 6•   To change the height of the safety belt, loosen 

it and slip the straps out of the notches on the 

back. Insert the straps into the appropriate 

notches for the child's height.

 7•   To adjust the safety belt to a looser position, slip 

a finger into the opening in the seat, and press 

the metal button while pulling the straps upwards 

with the other hand, as shown in the figure. To 

tighten the safety belt so that it fits the child 

snuggly, pull the belt towards you, as shown in 

the figure. Be careful not to tighten the belt too 

much; leave a slight amount of play in the belt.

   PADDING

 8•   A pillow for the child's head, two shoulder pads, 

and a protective cushion for the child's legs are 

provided with the car seat. Insert the pillow by 

slipping the straps through the openings in the 

pillow as shown in the figure. Attach the shoulder 

pads using the Velcro fasteners.

 9•   Position the protective leg cushion by slipping the 

seat strap with the buckle through the cushion, as 

shown in the figure.

   REGULATOR HANDLE

 10•   The car seat regulator handle has four positions.  

To incline the seat, press the two buttons on the 

handle and simultaneously adjust the seat until it 

clicks into the desired position.

   Position A: Set the handle to this position when 

the child car seat is mounted in the car.

   Position B: Set the handle to this position when 

carrying the child car seat by hand or while 

attaching it to its base, to a stroller, or to a baby 

carriage.

   Position C: Set the handle to this position to allow 

the car seat to rock.

   Position D: Set the handle to this position to 

prevent the child car seat from rocking.

   HOOD

 11•   To fit the hood, push the handle rearwards, place 

the hood adjusting couplings onto the handle, 

then tie up the fastening strings as shown in the 

figure. To remove the hood, reverse operations.

 12•   The hood can be adjusted to two positions: To 

raise or lower it, push on the inner sides of the 

adjusting couplings and bring the hood up or 

down till the next click.

   REMOVABLE LINING

 13•   To remove the lining from the car seat, detach the 

hood. Unfasten the safety belt and slip it out of 

the sack at the back.

 14•   Slip the fastener tabs on the sack out from under 

the car seat.

 15•   Slip the leg-divider belt buckle out of the opening 

in the sack.

 • 

 The hood is made of plastic, and can be washed 

without being removed.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE IN THE VEHICLE

   IMPORTANT:

 16•   The "Primo Viaggio" car seat can be fastened 

to the front seat of a car that does not have an 

air bag system installed, or to the back seat 

of the car. The seat may be fastened using 

only three-point safety belts (see figure).  It 

is forbidden to use a two-point or abdominal 

safety belt to attach the child car seat, since 

these belts do not guarantee the child's safety.

   FASTENING THE BASE TO THE VEHICLE

 17•   Place the base for the child car seat on the seat 

of the vehicle. Since not all vehicle seats slope at 

the same angle, the height-adjustable base will 

allow you to keep the child car seat in the correct 

position, parallel to the ground.

 • 

 The position of the base is correct when the 

bubble on the gauge is completely visible.

 • 

 To adjust the base, use one hand to turn knob A, 

and the other hand to push down on point B to 

simulate the child

ʼ

s weight. Adjust the base so 

that the bubble is completely visible in the gauge.

 18•   Slip the vehicle seat belt through the two side 

slots on the base, as shown in the figure. 

 19•   Fasten the buckle to the vehicle seat, as shown in 

the figure.

 20•   If your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt with a 

free-sliding buckle (like most modern vehicles), 

you must attach a Surefix Clip to it. Using a 

Surefix Clip guarantees correct attachment of the 

child car seat to the base.

 • 

 Remove the Surefix Clip from its housing, as 

shown in the figure.

 21•   Grab the vehicle shoulder strap (the free strap) 

just above the buckle, and hold it taut while 

slipping the Surefix Clip onto the free strap, as 

shown in the figure. The Surefix Clip must hold 

the strap taut. (Once the Surefix Clip has been 

mounted correctly, it can be left on the vehicle 

seat belt to make it easier to fasten the base each 

time).

 22•   After mounting the Surefix Clip, check the tilt of 

the base again. If the bubble is not completely 

visible in the gauge, turn the knob again to 

tighten the belt.

 • 

 The base is ready for fastening the child car seat 

to it.

   FASTENING THE CHILD CAR SEAT TO THE BASE IN 

THE VEHICLE

 23•   Place your child in the child car seat, and fasten 

the safety belt.

 • 

 The car seat must be positioned backwards, in 

relation to the direction of the vehicle.

 • 

 Fasten the car seat to the base, pressing with 

both hands until it clicks into place.

 24•   With the child car seat mounted in the vehicle, the 

handle on the seat must be lowered all the way 

against the back of the vehicle seat, as shown 

in the figure.  Push the handle until it clicks into 

place.

 25•   Pass the vehicle seat belt around the backrest of 

the child seat.

 26•   Slip the vehicle seat belt through the slot on the 

back of the seat, as shown in the figure.

 27•   Check to make sure that the seat belt is taut and 

securely fastened, for maximum safety.

 • 

 To remove the child car seat from the vehicle, 

remove the vehicle seat belt from the back of the 

child seat.  Pull the handle until it clicks into place 

in an upright position, and unfasten the child 

seat from its base. Leave the base mounted in the 

vehicle, ready for use.
