1. IMPORTANT: READ FIRST!
• WARNING: Read this instruction manual carefully. Study the illustrations in this manual closely before and
during installation. The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix 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 in the
space provided.
• 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 Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix, is
essential for your child’s safety. Please see the Installation section and / or the sticker on the side of the
Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix. Never thread the belt in any other way.
• WARNING: Never use the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix 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 so-called side airbags.
• When installing with the seat belt only use the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix on a front-facing seat that has been
provided with an automatic or static 3-point belt, provided it has been approved according to the ECE R16
standard or similar.
• The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix may be used in the front seat and in the back seat. Always place the Maxi-Cosi
CabrioFix rearward facing. Lock rear seats that fold down.
• WARNING: Do not leave the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix with a child in it 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 Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix for more than a few hours at a time. It is important for
proper motor and muscle development that you place your baby on his stomach or back regularly.
• 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 not be used longer than 5 years after the date of purchase. The properties
of the product may deteriorate de to, for example, ageing of the plastic (as a result of sunlight, for
instance) and this may not be visible.
• The moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix should not be lubricated in any way.
• No alterations may be made to the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix, as this could affect part or the overall safety of
the seat.
• The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix must not be used without its cover. Always use an original Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix
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.
• The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix has been approved according to the most recent guidelines of the ECE R 44/04:
June 2005, the European standard for car safety seats. The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix can be used alone or in
combination with the Maxi-Cosi EasyFix of the Maxi-Cosi EasyBase and is suitable for children from birth
to approximately 12 months (group 0+: 0 to 13 kg).

GB
* A base is used that has a support leg and / or IsoFix, which ensure optimum safety and easy installation
Important! These bases, Maxi-Cosi EasyFix and Maxi-Cosi EasyBase, are not suitable for all types of cars.
The Maxi-Cosi EasyFix / Maxi-Cosi EasyBase are designated as “semi-universal” and therefore suitable
for installation on the seats of certain cars as stated on the car fitting list at www.maxi-cosi.com
2. 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 is height adjustable, adjust it to the lowest position.
• When installing the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix on the passenger seat, position the car seat in the rearmost
position. The backrest must be in a fully upright position and the headrest down. When not using the
Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix, 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 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.

3. PLACING YOUR BABY IN THE MAXI-COSI CABRIOFIX
• Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the quick adjuster button (1,1) and pulling the shoulder belts
towards you (1,2).
• Release the belt buckle and drape the belts with the tongue sections over the hooks (2) and pull the
buckle forward, attach the loop of the belt pad over the edge of the quick adjuster button (3).
• Make sure there are no toys or other hard objects in the shell.
• Position your baby comfortably in the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix.
• Join the buckle tongue sections together and insert them into the buckle (until it clicks) (4).
• Pull the shoulder belts tight using the quick adjuster belt strap on the front. The loop can be secured
under the shell rim (5).
A. Adjusting the height of the shoulder belts
The shoulder belts should run through the slots located directly above the baby’s shoulders.
• Open the door of the storage compartment (6).
• Pull the shoulder belts through the slots in the shell and cover.
• Place the shoulder belts back, at the required height and 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 better 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.
• If you are unable to fasten the harness belts properly or pull them tightly, contact your supplier
immediately. Do not use the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix under any circumstances!
B. Removable seat insert
The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix has a removable seat insert (7) to creat a flater lying position for newborn babies
and support the head in a sideways direction. When the baby is (approx 4 or 5 months) remove the filling
block (8) to make the seat deeper, then you can still use the head support.

4. INSTALLING THE MAXI-COSI CABRIOFIX IN YOUR CAR
4.1 Installing the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix with a safety belt
The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix 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
the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix, making it difficult to install the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix securely. If this is the case,
choose another position in the car. Contact your supplier with any questions.
*if there is a seat belt present in the middle position of the back seat.
Important! Do not mix up hip (9,1) and shoulder part (9,2)!
• Place the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix in a rearward-facing position on the seat, therefore with the back forward
facing. The carrying handle must be locked in an upright position (10).
• Thread the lap section of the seat belt across the front (foot end) between the shell and two blue belt
hooks (11).

• Check again to make sure the seat belt is threaded through all three blue belt hooks.
4.2 Installing and removing the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix when used with the Maxi-Cosi EasyFix
or Maxi-Cosi EasyBase
The “click-and-go” installation on the Maxi-Cosi EasyFix and on the Maxi-Cosi EasyBase reduces the
likelihood of incorrect installation in the car.
The Maxi-Cosi EasyFix or Maxi-Cosi EasyBase should be installed first of all.
WARNING: To install or to remove the Maxi-Cosi EasyFix and Maxi-Cosi EasyBase see the instruction
manual of the Maxi-Cosi EasyFix and Maxi-Cosi EasyBase. The safety of your child is only guaranteed if the
seat is used correctly. It is therefore important that you take the time to read these instructions through
carefully. However, if you do not have the above mentioned instructions, contact our service point in your
country or download the necessary information from our internet site: www.maxi-cosi.com.

Maxi-Cosi EasyBase (15). The carrying handle should be in the upright position.
• Click the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix with its 2 attachment rods onto the Maxi-Cosi EasyFix / Maxi-Cosi EasyBase (16).
• NOTE! A clear click should be audible and the indicators on the side of the base should now be completely
on green (17).
• NOTE! Under no circumstances should this product be used if the indicator remains on red. Carry out the
above actions again. In case of doubt or if you have any questions, contact the supplier.
• Check that the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix has been installed correctly by pulling on it.
B. Removing the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix

6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 General
Remove the car seat from the car before carrying out any maintenance work.
• The seat can be cleaned with soap and lukewarm water. Do not use any abrasive detergents.
• The belt buckle can be cleaned using warm water. Do not lubricate.
• The cover must be washed by hand (maximum 30°C). Do not use a dryer (also see washing instructions).
• Important! Never remove the energy absorbing foam.
Tip: It is advisable to buy an extra cover when purchasing the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix, so that you can continue
using it even when the cover is being washed or dried.
6.2 Removing the cover
• First remove the belt pads.
• Open the rim at the sun canopy as far as possible (21 & 22).
• Remove the cover from the hooks (8x) (27).
• Remove the cover then from under the hooks and quick adjuster button (28).
• Pull the buckle tongue sections and adjustment strap through the openings.
6.3 Refitting the cover
• To refit the cover, carry out the above instructions in reverse order.
• Make sure that the lower section of the cover flaps over the uppersection.
• When closing the rim, make sure the sun canopy is stored properly in the rim.
• Fasten the adjustment strap under the shell again.
7. WASTE SEPARATION
To ensure optimum and safe use of car safety seats, they should not be used for longer than 5 years after
the date of purchase. Ageing of the plastic, for instance under the influence of sunlight (UV), may quite
unnoticeably reduce the qualities of the product.
Once the child has grown out of the seat, we therefore advise you to no longer use the car seat and to
dispose of it in the proper way.
As we care for the environment we request the user to separate the waste produced at the start (packaging)
and end (product parts) of the life of the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix.
