Safety features
Primo Viaggio Convertible is equipped with safety features specifically designed to protect your
child in the event of a crash. In case of a severe crash, there are parts of your seat designed to bend
or deform. These parts will absorb the crash energy so it is not transferred to your child. Please refer
to section "How to tell if your seat has been in a crash" on page 59, for additional information.
EPS: the side of the head wings, the side and the
bottom of the shell are covered with a thick layer
of low density Expanded Poly Styrene which
absorb energy and reduce crash forces. They
also provide thermal insulation and give extra
comfort when used for long periods of time.
STEEL PLATE: the back of the seat is reinforced
with a steel plate that supports the spine, neck and
head under the high loads developed in a crash.
SAFE: (Shock Absorbing Foam Element) is an
Expanded Poly Propylene (EPP) block located at
the bottom of the shell between the hard surface
and the harness web. It is designed to deform
during a crash in order to reduce compression
loads on the occupant shoulders and chest.
