is of vital importance for the safety of your child. See the labels on the seat itself.
WARNING: Keep these instructions with the child car seat for future reference.
WARNING: Never leave your child unattended.
WARNING: NEVER use the child car seat on a passenger seat that is tted with a
front airbag. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.
• The product is only safe if it is used in strict accordance with these instructions.
• The product must be replaced if it is involved in an accident as it may have
unseen damage.
• Do not use this product second hand as you do not know its history.
• Ensure that all other passengers, luggage and loose objects are properly
secured.
• Do not lubricate any of the moving parts.
• Never use the child car seat without the covers.
• Only covers approved by the manufacturer may be used. The covers are an
integral part of the child car seat and it’s safety performance.
• Ensure that the child car seat is not damaged by heavy objects or being
caught in the car door.
• The rigid parts and the plastic sections of the child car seat should be
positioned and installed in such a way that they cannot, under normal use of
the vehicle, become trapped by a moving seat or in the vehicle door.
• Never make unauthorised alterations or additions to the product, such
changes can be highly dangerous.
• Child car seat parts may become hot in direct sunlight. Cover with sheet to
prevent this.
• Most accidents occur on short trips, so do not be tempted to avoid using the
child car seat simply because you are not travelling very far.
• Do not leave the child in the child car seat for long periods of time. Take
regular breaks on long journeys.
• Set a good example by always wearing a seatbelt yourself.
• Make sure that your child never plays with the buckle.
WARNING: Failure to follow each of the following instructions can result in your child
striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash.
WARNING: Take care that the straps holding the child car seat to the vehicle, are
as tight as possible. Make sure that the straps restraining the child are adjusted to
the child’s body and the straps are not twisted.
WARNING: The child restraint system MUST BE CHANGED after it has suffered from a
violent impact in an accident.
Do not use a rear facing child car seat on a passenger seat where an
active passenger airbag is tted. The airbag inates rapidly and can
throw a rear-facing child car seat into the back of a passenger seat
with great force, which can injure or kill a child.

Vehicle seat travelling advice
In order to maximise the protection that the child car seat can give your child,
please adjust the harness so that it ts snugly and make sure that the child car seat
is tted correctly.
Research shows that correct installation is the most important factor in child car
seat safety.
Please take the time to read the instruction manual carefully.
This product offers maximum protection when it is used in accordance with the
instructions.
If you have any questions concerning the use of the product please do not
hesitate to contact us.
• This child car seat is designed for use for children whose weight is 13kg or less
and whose length/height is between 40 to 87cm.
• This child car seat must only be used in a rear facing position, and must NEVER
be used forward facing. For maximum protection, the centre rear seat position
(if it is tted with an adult 3-point seatbelt) is recommended as the safest
position in most vehicles for installing an child car seat. (Only use the vehicle’s
rear centre seat if the vehicle seat is tted with a 3-point adult belt).
• Do not use your child car seat on a vehicle seat with lap belts only.
• Your child car seat should not be purchased or sold as a second hand item.
• Remove child out of the car as rst priority in an accident.
• While travelling it is recommended that any luggage or other objects liable to
cause injuries in the event of a collision shall be properly secured.
• Your child car seat should be securely belted to the vehicle, even when
unoccupied because in a crash an unsecured child car seat may injure other
passengers.
• Please take a rest every two hours if you are travelling with a baby in the child
car seat.
• Please check the child car seat condition if you are going to travel a long
distance with a child.
• Please put all excess luggage into the boot of your car if you are going to
travel with a baby, because loose items may hurt a baby when travelling on
unstable roads or because they move suddenly when braking.
• Please always check the child car seat before you place a baby into it.
• Please get in touch with the dealer if anything breaks on the child car seat.
Only the manufacturer or an authorised agent may do repairs. DO NOT try
and x the child car seat by yourself. It might be damaged or cause more
damage.
• Always check the buckle hole before you buckle up as it may contain crumbs
or obstructions that prevent a secure lock.
• Keep your child car seat out of reach of children when not in use.
• Please keep the plastic packaging bag out of the reach of children when
unpacking the child car seat.
• NEVER place the child car seat on a seat where an airbag is active.
• Do not modify the child car seat.
