2.0 Usage
The car seat has been designed, tested and approved for use in accordance with the requirements of
UN/ECE Regulation No. 129 concerning the approval of child improved restraint systems (UN/ECE
R129/03).
The SAFETY FIX 2 i-Size car seat is designed for children from 76 cm to 150 cm in height and can be
installed facing forward. In the range from 76 cm to 105 cm and up to 18 kg, the car seat is installed
using the ISOFIX connectors and the Top Tether strap. In this range, the child is held in the car seat by
the internal safety harness. In the range from 100 cm to 150 cm, the car seat is installed using ISOFIX
connectors and three-point car seat belt or using a three-point car seat belt. In this range, the child is
held in the car seat by a three-point car seat belt.
The car seat can be installed in the car in the places indicated by the manufacturer in the vehicle
manual. It is required to read the vehicle manufacturer's operating instructions.

3.0 Safety instructions
WARNINGS
Please take a few minutes to read this instruction manual in order to ensure the proper security of your
child. Many injuries that are easy to avoid are caused by reckless and improper use of the car seat.
• The car seat is designed to be mounted only on forward-facing seats. The car seat must not be
mounted on rearward facing or side facing seats (fig. A.2, A.3).
• If the car seat is installed in the front seat, the front air-bag must be deactivated. It is recommended
to install the car seat only on the back seats of the car. Please refer to your vehicle operating manual
for information on the suitability of the seat for use with a car seat.
• Remember that the internal safety harness holding the child should be adapted to the child's body
shape and not twisted. For this reason, child should not wear thick clothes under the safety harness.
• The car seat waist belts must run as low as possible across your child's pelvis to ensure optimum
effect in the event of an accident.
• The car seat should be replaced when it has been subjected to violent stresses during a traffic
accident.
• The car seat may not be modified in any way without the acceptance of the relevant approval
authority. Failure to install the car seat in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions may pose a
threat to life and health.
• Protect the car seat from direct sunlight, otherwise your child may be burnt by heated parts. Protect
your child and car seat from sunlight.
• Never leave your child unattended in the car seat.
• Make sure that the luggage and other objects are adequately secured, in particular on the parcel
shelf, as they can cause injuries in the event of a collision.
• The car seat cannot be used without the cover.

5
• Do not use replacement covers, other than those recommended by the manufacturer, as the
cover is an integral part of the safety system of the car seat.
• Do not use any other attachment points than those described in the instruction manual and
marked on the car seat.
• All hard elements and plastic parts of the child car seat should be placed and installed in a way
that, under normal vehicle operating conditions, they cannot get trapped by the sliding seat or
vehicle doors.
• Regularly check the technical condition of the car seat, pay special attention to the fixing
points, seams and adjusting elements. It is important to ensure that all mechanical elements are
fully operational. Never grease or oil parts of the car seat.
• Do not use the car seat if its parts are damaged or loose.
• In the event of an emergency, it is important to quickly unfasten the car seat belt. This means
that the release button of the safety harness is not fully secured; make sure your child does not
play with the safety harness.
• Set a good example for your child and wear your car seat belt at all times. An adult who is not
fastened with a car seat belt can also pose a threat to a child.
• Make sure that the car seat is correctly fastened before each journey in the car.
• The car seat must be secured at all times, even when not in use. The car seat that is not
fastened can injure the passengers even during emergency braking.
• On some vehicle seats made of delicate materials, the use of car seats may leave marks and/or
discolouration. To prevent this from happening, you can place a blanket, towel or similar product
under the car seat.

4.0 Securing the child
4.1 Use of insert
The baby insert (fig. B.1, item 12) improves comfort and gives extra support for young children. We
recommend using the lower part as well as the upper part, which serves as a pillow for the child's
head until the child needs more space in the car seat. Then the inserts should be removed.
4.2 Installation of insert
•Unfasten the internal safety harness (4) by pressing the red button on the buckle (5).
•Place the insert (12) in the car seat so that it adheres to the sides.
•Adjust the position of the internal safety harness. Check whether the safety harness is not twisted.
(fig. B.2)
•Using a strap, place the upper part of the insert on the headrest.

5.0 Using the car seat
5.1 Adjusting the position of the internal safety harness and
the headrest
The adjustment of the car seat safety harness is integrated with the adjustment of the headrest. The
headrest should be adjusted according to the child's height. The height of the safety harness will
change with the height of the headrest. Before changing the position of the headrest, loosen the
inner belts (4) by pressing the adjustment button (fig. C.1, item 7) while pulling the shoulder straps
towards you (fig. C.2).
A correctly positioned headrest ensures optimal placement of the shoulder part of the vehicle seat
belt and provides protection and comfort for your child. NOTE Adjust the appropriate height of the
shoulder safety harness so that the harness enters the seat backrest slightly above the child's
shoulders (fig. C.4).
• To raise the headrest and shoulder safety harness, grasp the headrest adjustment lever (1) located
on the back of the headrest (1) and pull it gently upwards. The headrest will be unlocked.
• The headrest (1) can now be adjusted to the desired height (fig. C.4). When the height is adjusted,
let go of the adjustment lever (10) - the headrest will be locked after slightly adjusting the height up
and down.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the seat headrest is locked in place.
• In order to lower the headrest and shoulder safety harness, pull the headrest adjustment handle
(10) and lower the headrest. The headrest and shoulder safety harness will be lowered at the same
time.
ATTENTION! Proper adjustment of the headrest height has a direct impact on the child's safety.
Place the car seat on the vehicle seat. Place your child in the car seat and check the height of the
headrest. Attention! If necessary, repeat the steps to adjust the headrest height until you reach the
optimal height.
