Peg Perego Viaggio Flex 120 Booster Car Seat

Introduction and Overview

The Peg Perego Viaggio Flex 120 Booster Car Seat is designed to provide safety and comfort for children weighing between 40 and 120 lbs, and whose height is between 39 and 63 inches. Manufactured in Italy, this booster seat features 4D Total Adjust Technology, allowing for independent adjustments of the headrest, upper backrest, side wings, and seat recline. Its compact folding capability makes it convenient for storage and transport.

Key Features

• 4D Total Adjust Technology: The booster can be adjusted in four independent locations: headrest (5 vertical positions), upper backrest (3 vertical positions), side wings (3 expansion positions), and seat (5 recline positions). This ensures a customized fit for growing children.

• Rigid LATCH System: Integrated rigid LATCH connectors provide easy installation and enhanced stability. The LATCH connectors can be tucked into the seat when not in use, allowing for seat belt-only installation.
• Comfort Recline: The seat offers five different recline positions, providing optimal comfort for children during long journeys, independent of the vehicle's backrest position.

• Aluminum-Reinforced Backrest: Provides additional safety and protection against whiplash in front-end collisions and enhanced protection in rear-end collisions.
• Kinetic Pods & EPS Foam: Kinetic pods are designed to move forces away from the child during a side collision. Expanded Poly Styrene (EPS) foam in the side wings and headrest absorbs energy during a crash, protecting the child's head and torso.

• Compact Folding: The backrest can fold down onto itself when not in use, even while attached via rigid LATCH, making storage and transport easier.

• Integrated Cup Holders: Two practical cup holders are integrated into the base of the car seat and can be folded away when not needed.

Installation

The Viaggio Flex 120 can be installed using either the vehicle's LATCH system or the vehicle's seat belt. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions regarding child restraint installation.

LATCH Installation (Optional)

1. Ensure the booster seat is placed firmly on the vehicle seat.
2. Locate the rigid LATCH connectors on the booster seat base.
3. Extend the LATCH connectors and align them with your vehicle's lower anchor bars.
4. Push the booster seat firmly against the vehicle seat back until the LATCH connectors click into place. Verify a secure connection by pulling on the booster seat.
5. To release the LATCH connectors, locate the release buttons (often yellow or red) on the LATCH arms and press them while pulling the booster seat away from the vehicle seat.

Seat Belt Installation

1. Place the booster seat firmly on the vehicle seat.
2. Have the child sit in the booster seat.
3. Route the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt through the designated belt guides on the booster seat. The shoulder belt should pass through the red shoulder belt guide near the child's shoulder, and the lap belt should sit low across the child's hips.
4. Buckle the seat belt and ensure it is snug against the child and the booster seat, with no slack.

Operating Instructions (Adjustments)

The Viaggio Flex 120 offers multiple adjustment points to ensure a proper and comfortable fit for your child:

• Headrest Adjustment: The headrest can be adjusted vertically to five different positions. Locate the adjustment lever (usually at the top or back of the headrest) and squeeze it to move the headrest up or down. Ensure the headrest is positioned so the vehicle's shoulder belt is properly aligned with your child's shoulder.
• Upper Backrest Adjustment: The upper backrest adjusts vertically to three positions. This allows for optimal support as your child grows taller.
• Side Wing Expansion: The side wings can expand outwards to three positions, providing more room for wider children and enhancing side impact protection.
• Seat Recline: The seat can recline to five different positions. Use the recline mechanism (typically a lever or button at the front of the seat base) to adjust the angle for comfort.
• Cup Holders: The integrated cup holders can be pulled out from the side of the seat base for use and pushed back in for compact storage.

Maintenance

To maintain the cleanliness and longevity of your Viaggio Flex 120 booster seat:

• All fabric covers are machine washable. Refer to the care label for specific washing instructions.
• Wipe plastic and metal parts clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembly or use.
• Regularly inspect the seat for any signs of wear or damage to the fabric, straps, or plastic components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Peg Perego Viaggio Flex 120 booster seat, please review the following common concerns:

• Difficulty with LATCH connection: Ensure the LATCH connectors are fully extended and aligned with the vehicle's anchor bars. Push firmly until you hear a click. Check for any obstructions.
• Seat belt not fitting properly: Verify that the shoulder belt passes through the red guide at the correct height (at or above the child's shoulder) and the lap belt is low on the hips. Adjust the headrest and backrest as needed.
• Seat feels loose: Re-check all installation points. For LATCH, ensure both connectors are securely latched. For seat belt installation, pull the shoulder belt to remove all slack.
• Adjustment mechanisms are stiff: Ensure no fabric or debris is obstructing the moving parts. Apply gentle, even pressure when adjusting.
