DO NOT

 use the child seat on 

a passenger seat fitted with an 
active front airbag unless your 
vehicle manufacturer confirms that it is safe.

DO NOT

 use the child seat on side or rearward 

facing vehicle seats.

DO NOT

 use anything, such as a cushion or coat, 

to raise the child seat off the passenger seat. In 
an accident the child seat and your car seat belts 
would not be able to protect your child as well as 
they should.

DO NOT

 use the child seat in the home. It has not 

been designed for home use and should only be 
used in your car.

DO NOT

 attempt to dismantle, modify or add to 

any part of the child seat or change the way its 
harness or your car seat belts are made or used. 

DO NOT

 leave children alone in your car, even for 

a short time.

DO NOT

 leave loose objects, such as luggage 

or books, in the back of your car. They must be 
properly secured.

DO NOT

 leave folding passenger seats unlatched. 

If you have to stop your car suddenly a loose seat 
back could injure your child.

DO NOT

 allow children to play with or adjust the 

child seat.

DO NOT

 place the child seat on a table or work-top.

DO

 keep this user guide safe for future reference.

DO

 cover the child seat if your car is left in direct 

sunlight. Fittings can become hot to touch in 
sunny weather and the cover may become faded.

DO

 make sure that the child seat does not 

become trapped by a folding passenger seat or in 
the door of your car.

DO

 make sure that you adjust the harness to fit 

the clothes your child is wearing before each 
journey – a fitting for winter clothes may be too 
slack for a child wearing summer clothes.

DO

 store the child seat in a safe place when it is 

not being used. Avoid placing heavy objects on 
top of it and do not store near direct heat sources.

DO

 always keep the child seat secure, even if it is 

not being used by your child.

bought or sold second-hand. Please dispose of 
your child seat safely. Do not sell or pass it on.

undamaged, if you were to have another accident

able to protect your child as well as they should.

completely “child proof” and yet comply with the 
legal requirements of European Standard ECE R44.
