I USING THE LATCH

SYSTEM. If your car has

“universal lower anchors”, you can install the infant car seat using the LATCH system instructions on page

14. 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! Also read your vehicle

manual for locating lower anchors and instructions on using the LATCH system.

II USING THE STANDARD LAP BELT/

SHOULDER STRAP. If your car does

not have universal lower anchors, install the infant car seat using the instructions for lap belt/shoulder straps on page 17.

When using Primo Viaggio Sip ES 30•30 with its base, first you install the base, and then you install the car seat on the base.

Important! Read your vehicle manual for instructions on where to best install an

infant car seat in your vehicle. There are two ways to install the base:

Install the base with your vehicle parked on level ground.

1• Take the car seat off the base by

moving the handle to the upright position. Place your hand on the top of the seat back and pull up on the handle with your fingers. Note: Pulling near the center of the handle provides the easiest release.

2• Position the base rear facing in the

back seat of your vehicle. Check the level indicator on the side of the base to make sure that the pointer is in the green area. If it is not, turn the knob left or right until it is in the correct position.

Installing the Base with Different Types of Seat Belts

Primo Viaggio Sip ES 30•30 is designed for use with lap or lap/shoulder seat belts. Four of the most common types are listed below. Please read your vehicle manual for instructions on installing an infant car seat using your vehicle seat belts.

I Lap/Shoulder belt with

Switchable Locking Retractor

If your vehicle has Switchable Locking Retractor lap/shoulder belts, pull the shoulder strap all the way out, let it retract several inches, then pull it out again. It should lock in place to properly secure the base.

II Lap/Shoulder belt with

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) and free sliding latch plate

This type of seat belt will only lock in an emergency, so you must use the locking clip (stored on infant seat base) to properly secure this type of seat belt (see page 21).

PrimoViaggioSIP-ES_USA_30-30_FIU19 19 10-03-2010 14:44:52

⇠ 20

III Lap/shoulder belt with a locking

latch plate

If you have a lap/shoulder belt with a locking latch plate and the belt comes loose after buckling, unbuckle it, flip it over, and re-buckle. This will usually keep the seat belt locked in place. If not, read your vehicle manual for specific instructions.

IV Different Types of Lap Belts

Lap belts with Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR), Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR), and Switching Locking Retractors (SLR) look as shown. Consult your vehicle owner's manual to determine which style you have.

Lap belts with locking latch plates look as shown.

V Lap belt only with an Emergency

Locking Retractor

If you have a lap belt (without shoulder strap) that locks only in an emergency (ELR), do not use it to secure the Primo Viaggio Sip 30•30 car seat. Please consult a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician for other installation options.

To find a technician in your area, go to:

Different Types of Vehicle Seat Belts

Important! Do not install this car seat

on seats with:

Lap/motorized shoulder belts.

Belts mounted on the door.

Side-facing seats.

Rear-facing seats or seats that rotate.

For your child’s safety, always read your vehicle manual for instructions on installing child car seats.

PrimoViaggioSIP-ES_USA_30-30_FIU22 22 10-03-2010 14:44:55

Now that you have installed the base in your vehicle, you are ready to install the car seat on the base.

1• Holding the car seat by the handle,

press it rear facing on the base until you hear the click. You will not be able to move the car seat if it is properly locked in place. Check to make sure the base is still level. If not, remove the car seat and properly adjust the base.

Important! Newborn infants should be properly reclined. If the seat reclines too much, your baby can be ejected from the seat in an accident. If too upright, it can cause breathing problems.

Installing the Car Seat on the Base

2• Adjust the handle so it rests at the

top edge of the car seat as shown. Any other position may injure your baby in an accident. To rotate the handlebar, press each of the round buttons (located on each side of the handle where it attaches to the seat) and rotate it to the position required.

3• To remove the car seat, move the

handle to the upright position. Place your hand on the top of the seat back and pull up on the handle with your fingers. Note: Pulling near the center of the handle provides the easiest release.

PrimoViaggioSIP-ES_USA_30-30_FIU24 24 10-03-2010 14:44:56

Installing the Car Seat without the Base

Important! The base is designed to

avoid consumer misuse by reducing the number of times the seat must be anchored to your vehicle. Please, use and install Primo Viaggio Sip ES 30•30 without the base only if needed. Park the vehicle on level ground.

1• Position the restraint on the seat,

so your baby is facing the rear of the vehicle. Adjust the handle so it rests at the top edge of the car seat as shown. Any other position may injure your baby in an accident. To move the handle, press the gray buttons on the sides of the handle at the same time and push the handle.

Important! The seat must be parallel to the ground. If necessary, use rolled towels or pool noodles under the seat at vehicle seat crease, so the red line on the side of the seat is parallel with the ground.

PrimoViaggioSIP-ES_USA_30-30_FIU25 25 10-03-2010 14:44:57

2• Adjust the restraint on the seat.

Check the red line to see that the base is level with the ground. Thread the lap belt through the slots on the seat and lock the latch plate into the buckle as shown.

3• Pull the strap to tighten the seat

belt. Press down on the seat with your body weight and pull the strap tighter. Once the seat is tight, check that the red line on the side of the car seat is level with the ground.

Warning! If you cannot get the belt

tight enough, refer to your vehicle manual for instructions on how to secure the seat using the type of seat belt in your vehicle. Your baby is not safe riding in a loose car seat.
