Thank you for choosing BeSafe iZi Sleep
Safety and convenience
As you and we know, safety comes first when children are
involved. For that reason the iZi Sleep complies to and
exceeds the highest safety requirements.
In order to provide as much convenience as possible, the iZi
Sleep seat introduces its innovative reclining-system: outside
the car, your child can comfortably rest and sleep in the iZi
Sleep, being put completely flat.
It is important that you read this user manual BEFORE
installing your iZi Sleep. Incorrect installation could endanger
your child.
