3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Weight and Height Requirements
This car seat is suitable for infants from 4 to 30 pounds and up to 32 inches in height. Always ensure your child meets these requirements for safe use.
3.2 Base Installation (LATCH System)
The Primo Viaggio includes a base with an integrated anti-rebound bar for secure installation using the LATCH system. Follow your vehicle's owner's manual and the car seat instructions for proper LATCH attachment.
3.3 Installation Without Base
The car seat can be installed without the base, which is convenient for travel in taxis or airplanes. The patent handle and seat design feature color-coded belt paths to assist in correct belt routing when the base is not in use. The handle can be flipped forward and used as an anti-rebound bar in this configuration.

3.4 Adjustable Side Impact Protection
The side impact protection system is easily adjustable to six vertical positions without re-threading the harness. This ensures optimal protection for your baby's head and shoulders as they grow. New kinetic pods are designed to help move force away from the baby in the event of a side collision.

4.2 Dual-Stage Cushion System

The second stage cushion provides correct support for a growing baby. Both cushions help maintain proper head positioning and are made of Fresco Jersey, a soft and breathable fabric for all-season comfort.
4.3 Handle Positions
The car seat handle can be adjusted to multiple positions for carrying, stability, and installation. It locks securely into place in each position. When carrying, ensure the handle is fully locked in the upright position. For stability when placing the car seat on a flat surface, the handle can be rotated fully backward to act as a stabilizing bar.
