Summary:

      The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of two
      formulations of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal vaccine (2830929A and 2830930A) administered as
      3-dose primary vaccination during the first 6 months of life followed by a booster dose in
      the second year of life. To comply with the routine infant immunisation program, the licensed
      GSK Biologicals DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (Infanrix hexa) vaccine will be co-administered in infants
      with the pneumococcal study vaccines.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Subjects who the investigator believes that their parent(s)/Legally Acceptable

          -  A male or female between, and including 6 to 12 weeks (42-90 days) of age at the time
             of the first vaccination. In addition, the first pneumococcal and DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib
             vaccination should be given in accordance with the official national recommendations
             for the immunisation schedule of infants.

          -  Written informed consent obtained from the parents/LAR(s) of the subject.

          -  Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before
             entering into the study.

          -  Born after a gestation period of at least 36 weeks.

        Exclusion Criteria:

             study period.

          -  Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs since
             birth.

          -  Planned administration/administration of a vaccine containing diphtheria toxoid,
             tetanus toxoid (except MenC-TT in Spain) or CRM197 and not foreseen by the study
             protocol during any time of the study period, or of any other vaccines not foreseen by
             the protocol in the period starting from 30 days before each dose and ending 30 days
             after each dose of vaccine(s), with the following exceptions:

               -  Licensed influenza vaccines are always allowed, even if concomitantly
                  administered with the study vaccines.

               -  Licensed rotavirus vaccines are allowed if administered at least 7 days before or

               -  Licensed MenC-TT vaccine is allowed in Spain and should be concomitantly

               -  In case an emergency mass vaccination for an unforeseen public health threat
                  (e.g. a pandemic) is organised by the public health authorities, outside the
                  routine immunization program, that vaccine can be administered at any time during
                  the study period provided it is licensed and used according to its Summary of
