Important Information
- These instructions are important. Please read them carefully before using
the Child Safety Seat and retain them for future reference.
- The Child Safety Seat has been manufactured to comply with the European
Standard ECE R44/04, as a Group 0 (suitable for children from birth to 10
kgs) and Group 1 ( suitable for children from 9 to 18 kgs)
-- The Child Safety Seat must be fitted and used in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Incorrect installation could be dangerous. The
safety of the seat is only valid if the instructions are carefully followed.
- Under no circumstances should the Child Safety Seat be used on the front
passenger seat equipped with an active airbag.
- Ensure that the Child Safety Seat belts and the vehicle safety belts are in
optimum condition before use. Ensure that all belts are tightly fastened.
-- Ensure that the Child Safety Seat is fastened in the vehicle even when not
in use.
- The cover and shoulder pads are a safety feature. Never use the Child
Safety Seat without them.
- Vehicle interiors can become very hot when left standing in direct sunlight.
The metal fittings on the seat and harness may become hot and should be
covered up.
-- Seat and harness assemblies which get damaged or become badly worn or
which have been involved in an accident must be replaced to maintain safety.
- Do not place heavy objects on the parcel shelf, which could, in the event of
an accident, cause injury to passengers.
- Ensure that no part of the Child Safety Seat is trapped in a door or folding
seat. If your car has a folding rear seat, ensure that it is correctly locked
upright.
-- Do not attempt to dismantle, modify or replace any part of the Child Safety
Seat other than the part recommended by the manufacturer as they
constitute an integral part of the restaints’ performance.
- Do not use the Child Safety Seat for children weighing more than 18 kgs.
- Do not use the Child Safety Seat with a 2-point safety belt.
-- The buckle has been purposely designed to provide a quick release. In the
event of an emergency, it may become necessary for a person unfamiliar with
the equipment to release the child in seconds. The buckle has been
designed, therefore, so that even a child can undo it. This means the buckle
is not tamper-proof. The child transported in the Child Safety Seat should be
disciplined to not play with the buckle while the harness is in use.
- Set the right example and always wear your safety belt at all times.
