INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PRIMO VIAGGIO SIP with ADJUSTABLE BASE
Primo Viaggio SIP with Adjustable Base is the
child car seat certified for the 0+ age group, or
children weighing 0-13 kg. (0-12/14 months).
•
Primo Viaggio SIP car seat has a Ganciomatic
System that allows you to remove it from “Peg
Perego” strollers or baby carriages with a flick of
the hand, and attach and detach it on its base in
the vehicle.
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, place one strap over the
other, and insert them into the buckle on the leg
divider, pressing until they click into place.
4• To unfasten the safety belt, press the red button
on the leg divider buckle.
5• The safety belt straps and the Side Impact
Protection headrest can be raised together to 5
different positions, to grow with the child.
•
Before adjusting the height of the safety belt and
the headrest, release the tension on the straps.
•
To adjust the height of the safety belt and the
headrest, press the height adjustor button
(located on the child seat backrest) while lifting
or lowering the headrest to the desired position,
making sure it clicks into place.
6• The correct position for the headrest is
determined by the correct position of the safety
belt straps. The child
ʼ
s shoulders should be just
above the point where the straps pass.
7• To release the tension in the safety belt straps,
slip your finger through the opening in the seat
and press the metal button while using your other
hand to pull the straps upwards, as shown in the
figure.
8• To fasten the straps with the child in the seat,
pull the central adjustment belt towards you, as
shown in the figure. Be careful not to pull the
straps too tightly against the child; leave just a
little play in the straps.
PADDING
9• To mount the shoulder padding, open the Velcro
fastener and place the padding on the safety belt
strap. Close the Velcro, with the opening turned
outwards.
10• To mount the leg padding, slip the leg divider
belt buckle through the padding, as shown in the
figure.
11• The car seat comes with a filler cushion for
newborn infants. Remove the filler after the child
has grown bigger. To remove the filler cushion,
slip it off the leg divider belt.
REGULATOR HANDLE
12• 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
13• To mount the hood, insert the fasteners into the
openings on the child car seat and arrange the
rear part of the hood behind the backrest.
14• To raise or lower the hood, push it backwards or
forwards.
•
ATTENTION: Never grab the hood to lift the seat!

The hood will come off, and the seat will fall.
15• To remove the hood, press the buttons on the
fasteners while lifting the hood.
REMOVABLE LINING
16• To remove the lining from the headrest, slip the
lining downwards, off the headrest frame and the
safety belt straps.
17• To remove the lining from the car seat, unscrew
the headrest frame, making sure to keep the
screws.
18• Slip the sack fasteners out from under the seat,
and slip the leg divider strap out.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE IN THE VEHICLE
IMPORTANT:
19• The Primo Viaggio SIP car seat is certified
for use with the Adjustable Base or without
it. Using the base in the vehicle guarantees
greater safety. We recommend using the child
seat in the vehicle without the base only as a
last resort.
•
The Primo Viaggio SIP car seat can be fastened
to the front seat if the vehicle does not have
an airbag, or to the back seat. It is unsafe and
prohibited to fasten the child car seat using
two-point abdominal vehicle seat belts. Use
only a three-point seat belt to fasten the child
car seat, as shown in the figure.
FASTENING THE BASE TO THE VEHICLE
20• 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.
21• Slip the vehicle seat belt through the two side
slots on the base, as shown in the figure.
22• Fasten the buckle to the vehicle seat, as shown in
the figure.
23• 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.
24• 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).
25• 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
26• 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.
27• 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.
28• Pass the vehicle seat belt around the backrest of
the child seat.
29• Slip the vehicle seat belt through the slot on the

back of the seat, as shown in the figure.
30• 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.
FASTENING THE CHILD CAR SEAT IN THE VEHICLE
WITHOUT ITS BASE
31• Only when it is necessary to place the child car
seat in the vehicle without its base, unbutton the
two side tabs, and place them to the inside.
32• Place the car seat with your child in it on the
vehicle seat, and fasten the safety belt.
•
The child car seat must be positioned backwards
in relation to the direction of the vehicle.
•
The correct tilt for the child seat is parallel to the
ground. If necessary, use rolled-up towels under
the child seat to obtain the correct position.
33• Slip the vehicle seat belt through the two side
slots on the child seat, making sure that the belt
remains taut.
34• Fasten the vehicle seat belt buckle, as shown in
the figure.
35• 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.
36• Pass the vehicle seat belt around the backrest of
the child seat.
37• Slip the seat belt through the slot on the back of
the child seat, as shown in the figure.
