Vital information
!iZi Combi ISOfix can be installed rearward-facing. In this-
position the car must be equipped with ISOfix anchorage
points. When iZi Combi ISOfix is installed forward facing, the
3-point-belt has to be used.
BeSafe iZi Combi ISOfix is approved in groups 0+ and 1,-
rearward-facing from 0-18 kg and group 1 forward-facing,
from 9-18 kg.
We recommend to use the seat as long as possible in the-
rearward facing installation.
iZi Combi ISOfix is not allowed to mount in front passenger-
seat with an activated airbag.
For children under 1 year and/or under 10 kg weight, we-
recommend that the most reclined sitting position is used.
We recommend that this seat is used only for children who-
can sit upright, so not younger than 6 months.
The floor support must always be used when it is installed-
rearward-facing in cars with ISOfix . When installing forward
facing the floor support and the front brace shall not be
used.
When installed with a 3-point-belt: Only suitable if the-
approved vehicles are fitted with 3-point-belts, approved to
UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or other equivalent standards.
The harness must always be used when the child is in the-
seat.
Under the fabric cover we use EPS foam. Do not push or pull-
too hard against the foam, since you might damage the foam.
