1. Introduction
This child safety seat can also be used in an aircraft to ensure the safe
transport of children on an airplane. Since this child car seat was primarily
designed for usage in a motorcar, its fastening on the airplane differs from its
fastening in the car.
2. General safety instructions
Please read the instructions for installing the child car seat on the
airplane carefully and familiarise yourself with the specific
requirements! Incorrect installation can endanger the life of your child.
If you want to use the child car seat on an airplane, please ask your
airline about the specific transport conditions in advance.
The use of a child car seat is only allowed on a plane with a 2-point
belt.
The child car seat may only be installed on a seat on the plane
determined by the airline.
The child car seat may not be installed within the effective range of
an airbag.
Adjust the child car seat to the size of your child in accordance with
the recommendations in the instruction manual of the child car seat.
Always take the belt shortener on the plane! - you can order it at
kiddy. This belt shortener is (usually) required to use the child seat on
the plane (refer to 3.1.1). You have to bring it with you since it is not
provided by the airline. It is possible that your child car seat cannot
be fastened correctly without the belt shortener.

3. Installation on the airplane
If your child seat is equipped with k-fix connectors, they have to be
retracted into the seat. An aircraft installation is not possible when the
k-fix connectors are extended. Check child seat operating manual.
The child seat always has to be secured with the safety belt, even
when the “Fasten your seat belt.” signal is switched off. A unsecured
child seat could injure passengers in case of an accident, turbulences
or an emergency landing.
3.1 Installation with impact shield (9 - 18 kg)
Place the child car seat on the respective seat on the plane and fold the
armrests of the plane seat upwards.
Place your child in the child car seat and move the impact shield into the
guide slots of the car seat.
Feed the belt through the impact shield belt
guides (A) and close the belt buckle (B).
Make sure that the belts are not twisted.
Tighten the belt by pulling the loose end.
It is possible that the child car seat cannot
be fastened as described. If the belt buckle
is located in the area of the impact shield’s
belt guides, this could prevent the clip from
locking in place or the correct tightening of
the belt.

If this situation occurs, the belt shortener has to be used (refer to point 3.1.1).
If not provided you can order the belt shortener at kiddy.
With some airplane seats the armrests are fixed and in exceptional cases it
is possible that the belt buckle will be jammed between the armrest and the
child car seat and cannot be opened.
If the described situation occurs, a belt extender has to be used (refer to
point 3.1.2). These belt extenders are always on the airplane.
