not be used with two-point or lap seat belts.

• Never leave the child unattended in the safety seat: observe him/her even when sleeping.
• Never remove the child from the seat while the vehicle is in motion.
• Make sure that the safety seat is protected from any mobile parts of the car seat or doors.
• To avoid the risk of falling always use the safety seat harness even for transport outside the

• Do not remove the adhesive and stitched labels since this might make the product non
compliant with legal requirements.

if it has been subjected to violent stress in an accident, because it might have suffered
extremely dangerous structural damage.

medical advice before leaving the hospital.
• Do not use accessories not approved by the manufacturer or by the competent
authorities.

surfaces) soft surfaces (beds, sofas) or sloping surfaces.

NOTICE
1. This is a "Universal" child restraint; it is approved to ECE Regulation 44.04 for
general use in vehicles and will fit most, but not all, vehicle seats.
2. A correct fit is likely if the vehicle manufacturer has declared in the vehicle handbook
that the vehicle is capable of accepting a "Universal" child restraint for this group.
3. This child restraint has been declared "Universal" under more
stringent conditions than those applied to earlier designs which do not carry this notice.
4. If in doubt, consult either the child restraint manufacturer or the retailer.
Only suitable if the vehicle is fitted with 3-point static,
3-point retractor safety belts, approved to UN/ECE
Regulation No. 16 or other equivalent standards.
EXTREME HAZARD
Do not use in passenger seats
equipped with airbags (SRS).
The instructions for use should be kept for future reference.
The correct use and maintenance of your car seat will ensure it gives long and
trouble free use.
When somebody else is using your car seat, ensure they also know how to use it,
especially the correct way to adjust it. The safety of your child is your responsibility.

1. PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION AS AN
INCORRECT INSTALLATION COULD BE DANGEROUS.
2. PARENTS SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THIS CHILD
RESTRAINT ON A PASSENGER SEAT EQUIPPED WITH AN AIRBAG.
3. The child seat must only be installed in the rearward facing position.
4. Never use the child seat without fastening the child's harness correctly, and never attempt to
use it without fastening it into the car as described in these fitting instructions, if the shoulder
height is not ok, please reinstall the seat again.
5. It is most important that the seat belt is correctly routed and the child seat tightened down
on the upholstery as firmly as possible to ensure maximum protection. A recommended
method is shown in these instructions.
6. Do not add or modify this product in any way.
7. Never use this product if it has been in an accident, or if it has become badly worn.
Periodically inspect the harness for wear, paying particular attention to attachment points,
stitching and adjusting devices.
8. Do not leave a child in the seat unattended at any time.
9. Ensure that no part of the seat or seat belt is trapped in a door or a folding seat. If your car
has a folding rear seat, ensure that it is correctly latched in its upright position.
10. Car interiors can become very hot when left standing in direct sunlight it is therefore
recommended that the child seat, when not in use, is covered by a towel etc. This prevents
components, particularly those attached to the child seat, becoming hot and burning the child.
11. In the event of an emergency it is important that the child can be released quickly. This
means that the buckle is not fully tamperproof and therefore your child should be persuaded
never to play with the buckle.
12. Luggage and other heavy objects should be secured in the car. Loose objects are liable to
cause injury in the event of an accident.
13. The child seat must not be used without the cover.
14. Never place your child seat on a table or work surface.
15. This seat can be used for children of 0 - 13kg in weight and is used in conjunction with a
3-point lap and diagonal safety belt in the rear-facing position only.
16. When the child seat is not in use, it is recommended that it is fastened into the car with a seat
belt to avoid cause injury in the event of an accident.
17. In an emergency your child can be released quickly by pressing the red button on the
harness buckle.
18. Store this child seat in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid placing heavy objects on
top of it.
19. If you travel with passengers using both the front and rear passenger seats, the
lighter occupants should be in the rear and the heavier occupants in the front of the vehicle.
20. Do not allow your child seat to come into contact with corrosive substances e.g. battery acid.
21. Do not leave the child seat 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.
22. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the seat if it is used by the original owner.
23. We strongly advise against using a second-hand product, as you can never be sure of its
history.
24. Always check to make sure the seat fits in your car properly before purchasing it.
