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

I USING THE LATCH
SYSTEM. If your car
has “lower universal
anchorage systems
(UAS)”, 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
UAS and instructions on using the
LATCH system.
II USING THE STANDARD LAP BELT/
SHOULDER STRAP. If your car does
not have universal lower anchors
UAS, install the infant car seat using
the instructions for lap/shoulder belt
straps on page 17.
When using Primo Viaggio Sip 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:
Installing the Base

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

is in the green area. If it is not, turn
the knob left or right until it is in the

owner’s manual. It will suggest proper
placement of an infant car seat in your
particular vehicle.

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

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.

19
Installing the Base with Different Types of Seat Belts
Primo Viaggio Sip 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

20
base) to properly secure this type of
seat belt (see page 21).
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 car
seat. Please consult a certified infant
Passenger Safety Technician for other
installation options.
