Installation Instructions
Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Sip ES 30•30
is certified for use with or without
the base. Use of the base is highly
recommended because it makes
installation easier and therefore safer.

⇠13
IUSING 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.

threaded flat against the base.
6• Tighten the base against the seat
by pulling the free end of the latch
strap. Press down on the base with

further. Check the level indicator. If

pointer is back within the green area.
You may need to loosen the strap
slightly to do this. Push and pull on
the base. If you can move it more
than 2,5 cm (1 inch), tighten the belt
further.
•Now that you have installed the
base, go to page 23.

Important! Not all seat belts work
the same way. To make sure that the
infant car seat is properly installed
using your seat belts, read your vehicle
owner’s manual. It will suggest proper
placement of an infant car seat in your
particular vehicle.
Park your vehicle 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.

3• Thread the lap belt through the slots
on the base and lock the latch plate
into the buckle as shown.
4• Pull the strap to tighten the seat
belt. Press down on the base with
your body weight and pull the strap
tighter. Then push and pull on the
base. If you can move the base more
than 2,5 cm (1 inch), tighten the belt
further. Once the base is tight, check
the level indicator. If the pointer has
moved outside of the green area,
turn the knob until the pointer is
back within the green 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.

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.
