IMPORTANT
WARNING: Read this instruction manual carefully. Study the
illustrations in this manual closely before and during installation.
Our product is a safety product that is only safe when used
according to the instructions given in this manual.
To prevent your child from falling out of the seat, always check
to make sure the carrying handle is clicked into the carrying
position before lifting the seat. Also make sure your child is
always strapped in securely with the harness belt.
WARNING: For the future use of the car seat, it is important
that you store this instruction manual.
WARNING: Never leave a child unattended in the car seat while
in the car or elsewhere.
WARNING: The correct rooting of the seat belt, along the blue
markings on the baby car seat, is essential for your child’s safety.
Please see the Installation section and/or the sticker on the side
of the product. Never thread the belt in any other way.
When installing with the seat belt only, use the baby car seat
on a front-facing seat that has been approved according to the
ECE R16 standard or similar.
The Galaxy car seat may be used in the front seat and in the rear
seat. Always place the baby car seat rearward facing. Lock rear
seats that fold down.
Never use the baby car seat on a seat equipped with a front
airbag, as this can result in the death or injury of the baby.
This does not apply to the so called side airbags.
WARNING: Do not leave your baby in the car seat on a raised
surface, such as a table, work top, bed, or shopping trolley, due
to the risk of falling.
Always secure your child with the harness belt, even when the
seat is not fitted in the car.
Do not leave your baby in the car seat for a long period of time.
It is important for proper motor and muscle development that
you place your baby on his stomach or back regularly.

IMPORTANT
The seat may become unsafe after an accident due to
damage that is not immediately noticeable. It should therefore
be replaced.
The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the seat if it
is used by the original owner.
We strongly advise against using a second-hand product, as
you can never be sure of its history.
We recommend that car seats are not used for longer than 5
years after the date of purchase. The properties of the product
may deteriorate, for example, ageing of the plastic (as a result
of direct sunlight) and this may not be visible.
The moving parts of the baby car seat should not be lubricated
in any way.
No alterations may be made to the baby car seat, as this could
aect part or the overall safety of the seat.
The baby car seat must not be used without its cover. Always
use an original cover, as the cover contributes to the safety of
the seat.
In order to prevent damage to the cover, do not remove the
logos or airbag sticker.
Our baby car seat has been approved according to the most
recent guidelines of the ECE R 44/04: the European standard
for safety seats. It is suitable for children from birth to approxi-
mately 12 months (group 0+: 0 to 13kg).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE IN THE CAR
Always check to make sure the seat fits in your car properly
before purchasing it.
The seat must always be secured, even when not in use.
An unsecured seat can injure other passengers in the car in the
event of an emergency stop.
If the seat belt height is adjustable, adjust it to the lowest
position.
When installing the baby car seat on the passenger seat, posi-
tion the car seat in the rearmost position. The backrest must
be in a fully upright position and the headrest down. When not
using the baby car seat, the passenger seat (and headrest) may
be adjusted as required.
Prevent damage to the seat by not wedging it between or
underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or slamming the
car door etc.
Make sure that you properly secure all luggage and all other
objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident.
Always cover the seat when the car is parked in the sun as
plastic and, metal parts can become very hot and the cover may
become discoloured.
Always use a car seat, even for short trips, as this is when most
accidents occur.
NEVER hold a baby on your lap while driving. Due to the
enormous forces released in an accident, it will be impossible to
hold onto the baby.
Never use the same seat belt to secure yourself and the child.

PLACING YOUR CHILD IN THE GALAXY CAR SEAT
Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the quick adjuster button,
(A1) and pulling the shoulder belts towards you (A2).
Release the belt buckle and drape the belts with the tongue
sections over the two sides of the seat (B). Pull the buckle for-
ward, attach the loop of the belt pad over the edge of the quick
adjuster button.
Make sure there are no toys or other hard objects in the shell.
Position your baby comfortably in the baby car seat.
Join the buckle tongue sections together and insert them into
the buckle until it clicks (C).
Pull the shoulder belts tight using the quick adjuster belt strap
at the front.
The loop can be secured under the shell rim (D).
Adjusting the height of the shoulder belts
The shoulder belts should run through the slots located directly
above the baby’s shoulders.
•Pull the shoulder belts through the slots in the shell and cover.
•Place the shoulder belts back, at the required height.
•Use the same slots in both the shell and the cover.
•Check to make sure the belts can be used properly and that
they are not twisted.
Important
The more tightly the belts are fastened around the child, the bet-
ter the protection. You should be able to fit no more than one
finger between the belts and your child.
The belts should never be twisted or damaged.
When positioning the baby make sure that he/she does not sit
on the belts by hanging them to the side behind the belt hooks.
Hook the belt pad of the belt that goes between the legs behind
the edge of the quick adjuster.
E Removable seat insert
The baby car seat has a removable seat insert (E) to create a
flatter lying position for newborn babies and support the head
in a sideways direction. When the baby is approx. 4 or 5 months
old, remove the filling block (F) to make the seat deeper, then
you can still use the head support.

SEATBELT INSTALLATION
Our product can be fitted safely on almost all forward-facing
seats in the car using the existing seat belts. However, the belts
are fitted so far forward on some seats that proper installation is
not possible. If this is the case, try another seat.
In some cases, the buckle of the safety belt may be too long and
therefore sits too high against the base of our product, making
it dicult to install the baby car seat securely. If this is the case,
choose another position in the car. Contact your supplier with
any questions.
Installation with 3-point safety belt Yes
Installation with 2-point safety belt No
On passenger seat Yes
On left/right side of back seat Yes
In middle position of back seat Yes*
Belt routing marking Blue
