latch operation). Latches must be connected to your vehicle latch anchors located at the
junction of the seat and backrest in your vehicle seat. There are at least 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 upholstery and can be protected by plastic or fabric
shields. The LATCH anchor can be located by this symbol:

Vehicle seat belt overview
VEHICLE SEATBELTS: this child seat is designed to be installed with vehicle belts.
There are many dierent vehicle belt designs. Unfortunately, some may be unsuitable
for a safe installation of Primo Viaggio 4.35. Please read carefully the pages below.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual or call Peg Perego Customer Service @ 1-800-6711701 for additional help.
The most common vehicle belt is
composed of a web strap (a), a latch
plate (b), a buckle (c) and a retractor (d).
A retractor is a 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) used for
securing child seats.
- 16 -
Vehicle seat belt overview
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.

Installing the Base
When using Primo Viaggio 4.35 with its base, first install the base, and then
install the car seat on the base.
Important! Read your vehicle manual for instructions on where to best install a child
car seat in your vehicle.
There are two ways to install the base:
1• USING LATCH SYSTEM.
If your car has “universal
lower anchors”, you can
install the child car seat
using the LATCH system
instructions on page 26. The anchor
is a bar located where the seat back
meets the seat bottom (slide your
hand down between the seat back
and seat bottom to locate this bar).
Important! In addition to this manual
reading, check your vehicle manual
for child restraint use, Latch System
location or vehicle belt information.
2• USING A STANDARD LAP BELT OR
LAP/SHOULDER BELT. If your car
does not have universal lower anchors,
install the child car seat using the
instructions for lap or lap/shoulder
belt on page 29.

How to install the Base using your VEHICLE SEAT BELT
Important! Not all the seat belts work in the same way. To make sure that the child car
seat is properly installed using your seat belts, read your vehicle owner’s manual. It will
suggest proper installation of a child car seat.
This section refers to base installation using a common lap/shoulder belt with sliding
latch plate and ELR or SLR retractor (see sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 from page 18 for
additional details).
Make sure that your vehicle is parked on
level ground when you install the base.
Remove the seat from the base following
the procedure at page 25.
Position the base rear facing in the back
seat of your vehicle. Check the level
indicator and set the proper angle (a)
following the procedure at page 25.
Keep the latch connectors stored in their
housing. Open the lockoff clip as shown
in the picture (b) .

the slots on the base (c) and lock the latch
plate into the buckle as shown (d). Press
down on the base with your body weight
and pull the shoulder strap as shown (e).
Take the shoulder portion of the belt and
tread it through the openings again (f).
Close the Right Tight lockoff clip by
pressing the lever as shown in the picture
(g) with an audible click. Push and pull

area, turn the knob until it is back within
the correct area. You may need to loosen
the strap slightly to do this.
Warning! If you cannot get the belt tight
enough, refer to your vehicle manual for
instructions on how to secure the base using
the type of seat belt in your vehicle. Your
baby is not safe riding in a loose car seat.
