WARNINGS!
Read this Owner’s Manual completely BEFORE first use
of your car seat!
Keep this Owner’s Manual always with the car seat.
Provisions are made under the seat pad. Plan to
spend some time getting to know your car seat-time
well spent when you consider that your baby’s safety
depends on it. Pay special attention to the warnings,
printed in red.
! WARNINGS to parents and other users. DO NOT
INSTALL OR USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT UNTIL YOU READ
AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
AND IN YOUR VEHICLE OWNER’S MANUAL.
Safety Requirements
European Safety Standards specify the construction and
performance of your car seat as well as its components,
requirements for fitting and use, instructions and markings.
Your car seat has been approved to European Standard ECE
R44.04
An approval number is attached to the rear of the seat and
must not be removed.
NOTICE
The seat is a “Universal” child restraint. It is approved to
Regulation No. 44.04 series of amendments, for general use in
vehicles and it will fit most, but not all, car seats.
Only suitable if the approved vehicles are fitted with 3 point
safety-belts, approved to UN/ECE Regulation No.16 or other
equivalent standards.
Important safety points
Do not use your car seat rear-facing on any
passenger seat where an active frontal airbag
is fitted.
Do take care so that the rigid items and plastic parts of the car
seat must be so located and installed so that it is not liable to
become trapped by a moveable seat or in a door of the vehicle.
DO NOT ever take a baby out of the car seat for any reason
while vehicle is in motion. If your baby needs attention, find a
safe place and pull off the road.
Do store your car seat in a safe place when not being used.
Avoid putting heavy things on top of it.
Do always check the security of your car seat before each
journey.
Do regularly check all child restraints for wear and tear.
Do not leave children unattended in your car seat, even for
the shortest time.
Do not leave luggage and other objects unsecured in the car.
If the car has to stop suddenly, these objects will continue
moving and can cause serious injuries. The larger the object,
the greater the risk.
Do not make unauthorized alterations or additions to any part
of the seat or car seat belt.
Do not use accessories or parts supplied by other
manufacturers. The function of the car seat could be altered,
resulting in serious injury or death.
After an accident, the car seat must be replaced. You may not
see any damage, but after a serious crash a car seat can be too
weak to protect again.
Please contact child restraint manufacturer in the event of
any questions.
Do not use load bearing points other than those specified by
restraint manufacturer in the instructions or on the restraint
body.
! IT IS MOST IMPORTANT that the child restraint is correctly
installed with the vehicle belt correctly routed according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always ensure the vehicle belt and harness straps are not
twisted.
! FAILURE TO PROPERLY USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT
INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN A
SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH.
Your child can be injured in a vehicle even if you are not in a
crash. Sudden braking and sharp turns can injure your child
if the child restraint is not properly installed or if your child is
not properly secured in the child restraint.
