Safety features

Primo Viaggio SIP Convertible is equipped with safety features specically designed to protect

your child in the event of a crash. In case of a severe crash, there are parts of your seat designed

to bend or deform. These parts will absorb the crash energy so it is not transferred to your child.

Please refer to section "How to tell if your seat has been in a crash" on page 61, for additional

information.

EPS: the side of the head wings, the side and

the bottom of the shell are covered with a thick

layer of low density Expanded Poly Styrene

which absorb energy and reduce crash forces.

They also provide thermal insulation and give

extra comfort when used for long periods of

time.

STEEL PLATE: the back of the seat is reinforced

with a steel plate that supports the spine, neck

and head under the high loads developed in a

crash.

SAFE: (Shock Absorbing Foam Element) is an

Expanded Poly Propylene (EPP) block located

at the bottom of the shell between the hard

surface and the harness web. It is designed

to deform during a crash in order to reduce

compression loads on the occupant shoulders

and chest.

Installing your child restraint in the vehicle

1) LATCH SYSTEM:

Primo Viaggio SIP Convertible is equipped with latch connectors. They are

located at each side of the child seat that attach to anchors located at the junction of the seat

and backrest in your vehicle. There are two anchors for each seating position and they are

spaced by about 11" (28 cm).

They may be visible or slightly recessed into the vehicle uphostery and can be protected by

plastic or fabric shields. The LATCH anchor can be located by this symbol:

Check your Vehicle Owner's Manual to nd the

LATCH anchor locations in your vehicle.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless where specied

dierently, lower anchors (LATCH) may be used

for a child whose weight is less than 40 Lbs.

However most lower anchors can withstand

much greater forces. Please, check your

vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle

manufacturer in order to determine what the

weight limit is for the use of lower anchors.

When the weight of occupant is beyond these

limits, vehicle seatbelt must be used to install

the child restraint properly and securely.

2) VEHICLE SEATBELTS: this child seat is designed to be installed with vehicle belts. There are

many dierent vehicle belt designs. Unfortunately, some may be unsuitable for a safe installation

of Primo Viaggio SIP Convertible. Please read carefully the pages below.

Check your vehicle owner's manual or call Peg Perego Customer Service @ 1-800-671-1701 for

additional help.

The most common vehicle belt is composed

of a web strap (a), a latch plate (b), a buckle

spring loaded device that rolls the seatbelt

automatically when not in use.

Common retractors are:

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) allows

the occupant to have free movement while

buckled up, but in an emergency situation

or crash the retractor instantly locks securing

the occupant.

Switchable Locking Retractor (ELR —> ALR)

Switches from Emergency Locking Retractor

(ELR) to an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).

This allows the user to lock the retractor at a

set position (also called child restraint mode)

Installing your child restraint in the vehicle

- 16 -

Installing your child restraint in the vehicle

used for securing child seats. ALR mode is

activated by extending the retractor all the

way out until a "click" is heard, next let the seat

belt (webbing) retract into the retractor to the

desired length and stop the belt at that point.

The retractor locks and will not let the belt

lengthen at that point (only retract).

To cancel ALR mode and return the retractor to

the ELR mode, just let the retractor retract the

webbing all the way back into the retractor.

A latch plate can be a sliding latch plate (a) or

a locking latch plate (b). A sliding latch plate is

available on lap/shoulder belt only and moves

freely along the strap. A Locking latch plate

has a mechanism to lock the movement of the

plate on the strap.

around the seat feeding the belt back into the

retractor. The belt will not extend unless you

unbuckle the belt and repeat the operation

from the beginning. With this installation, use

of a locking clip is not required.

Important Note:

The lock o clips located

on the side of the Convertible seat are used to

enhance the stability during normal use. The lock

os are not designed to replace an automatic

locking retractor or a locking latch plate. The

vehicle belt must be properly tightened to secure

the Convertible seat to the vehicle.

PROPER LEVELLING OF CHILD

RESTRAINT IN REAR FACING MODE

When properly installed according to the

following sections, the child restraint used

in rear facing mode should have a backrest

angle of 35° - 45° from vertical. If it is not

possible to reach such angle, use a pool noodle

or a rolled towel to further recline the seat.

Use the line drawn on the product as a

reference. When the line is horizontal, the

backrest angle will be at 45° with vertical.

NOTE: make sure that the angle

does not exceed 45° with vertical.

USING THE TETHER IN REAR

FACING MODE

Peg Perego always recommends using

the rear facing tether if the vehicle has the

proper anchor point. The tether can prevent

excessive rotation in rear facing mode in

both frontal and rear end crashes. Install the

rear facing tether as follows.

1. Remove the tether hook and the tether

strap. From the rear pouch (page 25).

2. Attach the rear facing strap to the vehicle

front seat rail. If your vehicle has a plastic

seat rail cover, you may want to remove it to

gain better access to the seat rail. Wrap the

strap around the rail then thread the metal

plate through the loop so it points upward as

shown.

3. Attach the child restraint tether hook to

the plate and pull the free end of the tether

strap until it is free.

Note: Too much tension in the tether strap will

change the seat back angle. After removing

the slack from the tether, check to see thet

the seat back angle is correct.

If your vehicle has designated anchors for a

tether strap used in rear facing mode, do not

use the additional rear facing tether strap.

How to tell if the seat has been in a crash

The Primo Viaggio Convertible can withstand minor crashes without any damage. If the child

restraint has been in a crash, you must determine if it is suitable for further use. First review

the ve guidelines listed below and then refer to the next section titled "clear signs the child

restraint has been in a crash".

What denes a minor crash?A minor crash is one in which ALL of the following apply:

• The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site.

• The vehicle door nearest to the car seat was not damaged.

• None of the passengers in the vehicle sustained any injuries in the crash.

• The vehicle air bags did not deploy during the crash.

• There is no visible damage to the car seat.

If any one of these ve statements apply, the seat may be damaged and should not be used.

If these statements do not apply, refer to the next section to check for hidden damage.

Clear signs the child restraint has been in a crash.

Peg Perego does not recommend purchasing used seats for which there is no known history.

A child restraint can be damaged in a vehicle crash, and may not be suitable for further use

after a vehicle crash.

The Primo Viaggio Convertible has energy absorbing features that reduce forces on the child

passenger during a vehicle crash. These features can only absorb energy one time. If any of

these features show damage as shown below, the entire seat must be replaced.

- 62 -

How to tell if the seat has been in a crash

1. Tether Bar: The tether bar is located on the

back of the seat shell near the top (open the

tether plastic storage pouch if so equipped).

The tether bar will bend during a crash.

The tether bar should be straight (green

illustration). If the bar is bent (red illustration),

the seat has been in a crash and should be

replaced.

2. Rear Bar: The rear bar runs through

the rear of the base. The rear bar will bend

during a crash. The bar should be straight

(green illustration). If the rear bar is bent (red

illustration), the seat has been in a crash and

should be replaced.

- 63 -

3. Pivot Bolts: The pivot bolts are located

on each side of the seat. The pivot bolts will

move closer to the base during a crash. There

should be about 1 inch of space between the

pivot bolt and the top of the base.(green

illustration). If the pivot bolt is located at or

near the top of the base (red illustration),

the seat has been in a crash and should be

replaced.

4. SAFE Device: The Shock Absorbing Foam

Element (SAFE) device is located on the

bottom rear part of the shell above the base.

The SAFE device will deform during a crash.

The SAFE device should be straight from side

to side (green). If the SAFE device has a crease

or cracks in it (red), the seat has been in a

crash and should be replaced.
