car seat is one of the safest and most comfortable car
seats available.

THINGS TO DO
Read these instructions carefully before fitting your
car seat. Remember, an incorrect installation could
be dangerous.
Put these instructions in a safe place, preferably in
the pocket provided on the rear of the car seat so
that you can find them for future reference.
Ensure that once the car seat is fitted no parts of the
seat or vehicles seat belt can become trapped by a
folding seat or the vehicles door.
Check every time you use the car seat that the
vehicles safety belt is tight and the car seat is held
firmly in place.
Check every time you fit the car seat that the vehicle
safety belt has not become twisted.
Check every time you place your child in the car seat
that the safety harness is properly adjusted and the
buckle is correctly locked.
Car interiors can become very hot when left standing
in direct sunlight - it is therefore recommended that
the car seat, when not in use, is covered by a towel
etc. This prevents components, particularly those
attached to the child seat becoming hot and burning
the child.
Pro-tec Inst. V1 7/12/07 14:31 Page 5

Regularly check the car seat for signs of wear,
especially the cover, harness webbing and the buckle.
Check that luggage or other heavy or sharp objects
are secured in the car. Loose objects are liable to
cause injury in the event of an accident.
When travelling with other passengers using both the
front and rear seats, the lighter occupant should be
in the rear of the vehicle and the heavier occupant in
the front passenger seat.
Whenever the car seat is left in the vehicle without
the child in it, always ensure it is correctly tted
using the vehicles safety belt to prevent it from being
thrown about in an accident.

THINGS NOT TO DO
Never use the child seat without fastening the
child’s harness correctly, and never attempt to
use it without fastening it into the car as
described in these tting instructions.
Never place any padding between the base of
the car seat and the vehicles seat as this could
impair the safety of the car seat.
Do not add to or modify this product in any
way. Never use spare parts that are not
recommended or supplied by BeSafe.
Do not leave a child in the seat unattended at
any time.
Do not allow children to play with the car seat.
This car seat must not be used without the
cover. The seat cover should not be replaced
with any other than the one recommended by
the manufacturer , because the cover constitutes
an integral part of the restraint.
Do not allow your car seat to come into contact
with corrosive substances e.g. battery acid.

Never use this product if it has been in an
accident, or if it has become badly worn.
•
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY...
In an emergency your child can be released
quickly by pressing the red button on the car
seat harness (see fastening the harness on
page 8).
This means that the buckle on the car seat is
not fully tamper proof and you should dissuade
your child from playing with it.
If your car seat has been involved in an
accident, you MUST dispose of it and
purchase a new one.
Even if your car seat shows no signs of
damage, there may be weaknesses that you
are unable to see. If this car seat is involved
in another accident it may fail to protect
your child.
For this reason we suggest that you never
use or purchase a second hand car seat.
