To be used with a lap-sash seatbelt by a child whose shoulders are above the
lower shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age) until the child’s
shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 6 to 8 years of
age).

seat.
Continue to use this booster seat until the child reaches this limit. Children are
safest in a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height
marker of the booster seat.
Do not use this booster seat until child’s shoulders are above the lower shoulder
height marker.
If the knees do not bend in front of the vehicle seat cushion continue to use a
booster seat.
Just using a seatbelt is not recommended for children that have outgrown this

Da usare con una cintura di sicurezza fasciante da un bambino le cui spalle
superano il marcatore di altezza inferiore (circa 4 anni di età) fino a quando
le spalle del bambino raggiungono il marcatore di altezza della spalla
superiore (circa 6 a 8 anni di età).
Con questo seggiolino, può essere utilizzato anche con un'imbracatura per
bambini approvata per l'uso.
Continuare a utilizzare questo seggiolino fino a quando il bambino
raggiunge questo limite. I bambini sono più sicuri su un seggiolino finchè le
loro spalle raggiungono il marcatore di altezza superiore del seggiolino.
Non utilizzare il seggiolino fino a quando le spalle del bambino sono al di
sopra del marcatore altezza inferiore.
Se le ginocchia non si piegano al limite del sedile del veicolo continuare ad
utilizzare un seggiolino.
Usare soltanto la cintura di sicurezza non è raccomandato per i bambini che
sono troppo grandi per questo sedile. Utilizzare un seggiolino più grande.

INTRODUCTION
Να χρησιμοποιείται με ζώνη ασφαλείας τριών σημείων από ένα παιδί
του οποίου οι ώμοι είναι πάνω από τον χαμηλότερο δείκτη ύψους ώμου
(περίπου 4 ετών) μέχρι οι ώμοι του παιδιού να φτάνουν στον ανώτερο δείκτη
ύψους ώμου (περίπου 6 έως 8 ετών).
Μπορεί επίσης να χρησιμοποιηθεί με τον παιδικό ιμάντα που έχει εγκριθεί
για χρήση με αυτό το βοηθητικό κάθισμα.
Συνεχίστε να χρησιμοποιείτε αυτό το βοηθητικό κάθισμα μέχρι το παιδί να
φτάσει σε αυτό το όριο. Τα παιδιά είναι ασφαλέστερα σε ένα βοηθητικό
κάθισμα μέχρι οι ώμοι τους να φθάνουν στον ανώτερο δείκτη ύψους ώμου
του βοηθητικού καθίσματος.
Μην χρησιμοποιείτε αυτό το βοηθητικό κάθισμα μέχρι οι ώμοι του παιδιού
να είναι πάνω από τον χαμηλότερο δείκτη ύψους ώμων.
Αν τα γόνατα δεν λυγίζουν μπροστά από το μαξιλάρι καθίσματος του
οχήματος, συνεχίστε να χρησιμοποιείτε ένα βοηθητικό κάθισμα.
Η χρήση μόνον μιας ζώνης ασφαλείας δεν συνιστάται για παιδιά που έχουν
ξεπεράσει σε ύψος αυτό το κάθισμα. Χρησιμοποιήστε ένα μεγαλύτερο
βοηθητικό κάθισμα.

• Use the restraint exactly as shown in the instructions.
• Supervision of children is needed because they may be able to undo the
buckles and/or special features.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN THE CAR.
• Do not alter or modify this restraint. Use only recommended parts and
accessories.
• Repairs must only be done by the manufacturers or agent.
• Do not allow the restraint to come into contact with polishes, oils, bleach and
other chemicals.
• Destroy the restraint if it has been in a severe crash, even if no damage is
visible.
• DO NOT USE THIS RESTRAINT WITHOUT THE COVER.
• DO NOT USE WITH JUST A LAP BELT. You must use with lap-sash seat belt,
or with a seat belt and child harness.
• The lap part of the seat belt must be firmly across the thighs and the sash
straps fitted diagonally across the chest and on the shoulder.
• If used with a child harness, the lap belt must be adjusted firmly first, and
then the harness, so that the lap-belt is not lifted off the child’s lap when the
harness is adjusted.
• Regularly check the restraint components, straps and other fitments for correct
function, cracking & condition. Seek immediate repair.
• IF AN AIRBAG IS FITTED IN THE SEATING POSITION WHERE
THE CHILD RESTRAINT IS TO BE FITTED, FOLLOW THE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER’S WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
• The lap belt on the abdomen is dangerous. The lap belt positioning anti
submarining device SecureGuard™ must always be used.
• This child restraint is not approved for use with any connectors that connect to
the car's ISOFIX low anchorages.

Instructions for Installation & Use - Series No. BS4000A-020133 11
• Seatbelt extenders are not recommended to be used if the seatbelt is not long
enough to secure the child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then seek advice
from a child restraint fitter and consider their recommendations before using a
seatbelt extender. If you use a seatbelt extender then ensure that the seatbelt
buckle does not contact the child.
• Do not use in a front seat, unless your child is over 4 years of age or in
accordance with the applicable Road Rules in your region. Research shows
that children under 12 years old are at a greater risk of serious injury when
travelling in the front seat.
• Do not use on any vehicle seat which faces sideways or rearwards.
• Use of aftermarket accessories (i.e. items not provided in the box with the
child restraint), can reduce the safety provided by the child restraint and may
cause injury or death.
• Use a towel or seat protector (messy mat) to protect the vehicle seat.
Protection of both underneath and behind the booster seat may be required.
• Do not store in hot places or underneath heavy objects. The plastic may
distort.
• The restraint should not be purchased or sold as a second hand item. It is
recommended not to use child restraints older than 10 years as the protection
in an accident may be reduced.
