Before Starng
Read Carefully Before Aempng to Fit the Child Car Seat
Which is the safest passenger seat to fit your child car seat to?
THE CENTRE REAR PASSENGER SEAT
01
1. The child car seat must only be used in vehicles which are fied with a three point seat
belt system that has been approved by regulaon ECE-16 or similar.
2. A correct fit is likely if the vehicle manufacturer has declared in the vehicle hand book that
the vehicle is capable of accepng a ‘Universal ’child restraint for this group.
3. The child car seat is a ‘Universal’ child restraint; it conforms to regulaon ECE-R44/04 for
general use in vehicles.
4. This child car seat has been declared ‘Universal’ under more stringent condions than
those applied to earlier designs, which do not carry the ‘Universal’ mark.
5. Child car seats can mark vehicle seat upholstery. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage or marking to vehicle seats.
6. The following situaons could be illegal and will void the warranty: 1) Any modificaons or
change of use of the child car seat that have not been authorised or advised by the
manufacturer. 2) Any failure to fit the child car seat in strict accordance with the instrucons.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for issues arising from unauthorised modificaons, uses
or fing.
7. Please keep this manual safe for any possible queries you may have in the future.
8. You will need to keep your proof of purchase. We recommend you keep them together.
Warning: NEVER leave your child unaended – your child’s safety is your responsibility.
Warning: The child car seat must be fied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instrucons.
Incorrect installaon could be dangerous.
Warning: This installaon must only be performed by a competent adult. Don’t try to install the
seat when intoxicated or very red.
Warning: Always ensure that new or occasional users [e.g. grandparents] have read the
instrucons or been taught the correct installaon by someone who has read and understood
the instrucons.
Warning: Always keep this instrucon manual with the child car seat, or in the vehicle in which
you are carrying the child car seat. Some models of child car seat have a pocket to store the
instrucons.
Warning: Do not fit the child car seat on a side or rear facing vehicle seat.
Warning: Before installing the child car seat ensure that the passenger seat you are using is
locked in the upright posion.
Warning: Do not use the child car seat in the home - it has only been designed to be used in
the car.
Warning: Do not leave loose/unsecured objects on the back seat of your car or the parcel shelf.
They may be dangerous to your child if you are forced to brake suddenly.
If your centre rear passenger seat is fied with a three point seat belt system then you should
use it.
If your centre rear passenger seat does not have a three point seatbelt system (i.e. no seatbelt
at all, or only a lap belt)
- then you should use the rear le passenger seat or the rear right passenger seat.
The front passenger seat can only be used if it DOES NOT have an airbag and IS fied with a
three point seat belt system.

02
When Using the Child Car Seat
Warning: Make sure that the child car seat is placed somewhere so that rigid items and plasc
parts do not become trapped in doors or movable seat units when the seat is in everyday use.
Warning: Always use the child safety lock system, if one is available, to make it impossible for
the child to open the car doors from inside.
Warning: Allow the child a break during long car journeys and make sure they don’t get out of
the car unaided and without supervision.
Warning: Ensure that the child car seat is secured to the car seat at all mes - even when not in
use.
Warning: The child car seat must not be used without its original cover. The original cover is
essenal for the safe operaon of the child car seat.
Warning: Stop the car at regular intervals to check that the child car seat is in the correct
posion and that the car seatbelt is sll taut and latched.
Warning: In the event of an emergency it is important to be able to release the child quickly (as
defined by Brish Standards). This means that the seat buckle cannot be fully tamper proof and
you should acvely discourage your child from playing with or using the buckle.
Warning: If you travel with passengers using both the front and the rear passenger seats, the
lighter occupants should be in the rear and the heavier occupants in the front.
Warning: If you have no opon other than to put your child car seat on a rear passenger seat
next to side airbags:
- Consult with your vehicle manufacturer for side airbag details. It may not be safe.
- Make sure your child does not lean into the area immediately around the airbag.
Warning: Do not place anything under the child car seat (e.g. a towel or cushion) as this could
affect the performance of the seat in an accident.
Warning: Avoid winter clothing bundling - Bulky clothing can lead to incorrect harness
ghtening. In an accident, the child can slip right out of the extra padding - and thus out of the
seat. Let the car warm up or cool down prior to placing your child in there if possible. If your
child is cold, place a blanket over the top of the harness.
Warning: In the event of an emergency it is important to be able to release the child quickly.
This means that the seat buckle cannot be fully tamper proof and you should acvely
discourage your child from playing with or using the buckle.
Important: Ensure your child knows the harness is there to keep them safe.
Important: Do not start the engine unl you are sure that your child is securely harnessed in
their seat AND that you have also correctly fastened your seatbelt. Ask your child if everyone is
safely belted up and whether it is okay to drive off.
EXTREME HAZARD
NEVER USE IN FRONT PASSENGER SEATS EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS (SRS)
THIS CAN INCLUDE REAR PASSENGER SEATS THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS*
*Consult car manufacturer for suitability. Children’s bodies are not able to withstand the
forces exerted on them by a deploying air-bag

03
Seatbelt
Warning: NEVER use any load bearing contact points other than those described in these
instrucons or marked on the child car seat.
Warning: Ensure that the lap secon of the seatbelt or harness is worn low down, so that the
pelvis is firmly engaged.
Warning: Make sure that ALL the passengers in your vehicle have their seat belts fastened, as
unrestrained people can be very dangerous to the child in an accident. Warning: NEVER use a
seatbelt roung scheme that differs from these instrucons.
Warning: The lap and diagonal seat belt (and harness if fied) must be used at all mes when
your child is in the child car seat.
Warning: Make sure that there are no twists in the seatbelt.
Sunlight/Hot days
Warning: Don’t leave your child in the child car seat while parked in direct sunlight or on a hot
day.
Warning: Do not subject the child car seat to prolonged direct sunlight as this may be
dangerous for your child (the metal and plasc fings could become hot) and may cause the
fabric to fade. You can reduce this problem by covering the child car seat with a sheet when not
in use.
Back of the Seat/Headrest
Warning: Ensure that the child car seat is as close as possible to the backrest of the car seat.
Warning: REMOVE the headrest of the passenger seat being used if it obstructs the proper
installaon of the child car seat. REMEMBER to refit the headrest when the child car seat has
been removed.

have these guide elements, you can use the
plasc guides provided with the car seat.
