Use in the vehicle
Always check to make sure the seat fits in your car properly
before purchasing it. The seat must always be secured, even
when not in use. An unsecured seat can injure other passengers
in the car in the event of an emergency stop.
If the seat belt is height adjustable, adjust it to the lowest
position. When installing the baby car seat on the passenger
seat, position the car seat in the rearmost position. The backrest
must be in a fully upright position and the headrest down. When
not using the baby car seat, the passenger seat (and headrest)
may be adjusted as required.
Prevent damage to the seat by not wedging it between or
underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or slamming the
car door etc. Make sure that you properly secure all luggage and
other objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident.
Always cover the seat when the car is parked in the sun, as
plastic and metal parts can become very hot and the cover may
become discoloured. Always use a car seat, even for short trips,
as this is when most accidents occur.
NEVER hold a baby on your lap while driving. Due to the
enormous forces released in an accident, it will be impossible
to hold onto the baby. Never use the same seat belt to secure
yourself and the child.
WARNING
The carseat is only suitable if the approved
vehicles are fitted with 3 point static with
retractor seat-belts approved to UN/ECE
R16 or other equivalent standards. For
children 0-13kg (from birth to approx. 12
months) IT MUST NOT be used with a two
point (lap) belt.
