Dear parents
Congratulations on the purchase of your Rodi SPS.
Safety, comfort and user friendliness have played an important role in the development of the Rodi SPS.
This product meets the most stringent safety regulations.
Research shows that a high number of car safety seats are incorrectly installed. Therefore, please take the time to
read through the instruction manual carefully. The Rodi SPS offers maximum safety only when it is used in
accordance with the instructions. Always use the Rodi Side Protection System with the backrest at all times.
Continuous research by our development team, user tests and consumer reactions ensure that we are kept fully
up to date in the field of child safety. If you have any questions or remarks concerning the use of your Rodi SPS,
please do not hesitate to contact us.

Important
• Make yourself familiar with these instructions and look carefully at the illustrations in the manual before
using the Rodi SPS.
• R44/04) and is suitable for children from 15-36 kg (approx. 31/2 to 12 years old and up to a maximum height of
1.50 metres).
• The Rodi SPS may be used on the front or rear passenger seat. We recommend that you place the Rodi SPS
on the rear seat in the car.
• DO NOT use a child safety seat if the vehicle is equipped with a front airbag. This can be dangerous.
This does not apply to so-called side airbags.
• When using the Rodi SPS on the front passenger seat, the car seat must ALWAYS be placed in its most
UPRIGHT POSITION.
• The Rodi SPS must only be used on a forward facing seat fitted with an automatic or static 3-point seat belt
which is approved according to ECE Regulation No. 16 or an equivalent standard. DO NOT USE A 2-POINT
SEAT BELT, as this could be dangerous in the event of an accident or emergency stop.
• The Rodi SPS must not be used without the cover. The seat cover should not be replaced with any cover
other than the one supplied by the manufacturer, as the cover constitutes an integral part of the restraint
performance.
• Do not remove the foam parts of the headrest.
• No alterations may be made to the seat as this could affect part or the overall safety of the seat.
• The Rodi SPS is developed for an intensive use of approximately 10 years.
• We advise to check the expanded polystyrene (EPS) parts regularly for damages.
• Replace the Rodi SPS when it has been subject to the severe forces of an accident: the safety of your child
can no longer be guaranteed.
• The manufacturer only guarantees the seat when used by the original owner.
• Do not use second hand products unless you know the history of the product. Some parts could be broken,
torn or missing.
• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt, even when not in use. An unsecured seat may wound other
passengers in the car in the event of an accident or emergency stop.
• Ensure that all luggage and objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident are properly secured.
• Adults not wearing seat belts can also be dangerous to a child in a car seat.
• Always check that the belt is pulled tight and any slack in the belt removed.
• Ensure that the seat is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or
by slamming the car door.
• The Rodi SPS may only be used as a child’s safety seat and is not intended for use in-house.
Tips
• In hot weather the plastic parts may become hot to the touch. Cover the Rodi SPS when the car is parked in
the sun.
• For future use it is important that the instruction manual is kept with the seat at all times. Please store it in the
space provided underneath the seat.
• To avoid damage to the cover do not remove the Rodi SPS logo.
• Always use the seat, even on short journeys as this is when most accidents occur.
• REMOVE the headrest of the passenger seat being used if it causes an obstruction for proper installation of the
Rodi SPS, but do not forget to refit the headrest after use.
• Before purchasing the seat we recommend you check that it is compatible for use with the seat belt system in
your car.
• NEVER leave your child unattended in the car.
• Set a good example yourself and always wear your seat belt.
• Tell your child that he/she must never play with the belt buckle.
• During long journeys make the occasional stop to allow your child to stretch his/her limbs.
