Safety
• All Safety 1st products have been carefully designed and tested for your baby’s safety and comfort. Use only accessories sold or
approved by Safety 1st.
• Using other accessories may prove to be dangerous.
• Please read these instructions carefully and make yourself familiar with the child seat before using it.
• Always keep the instructions for future reference; there is a storage compartment specifically provided on the child seat.
Universal System with a 3 point seat-belt:
• Approved model ECE R44/04.
• The seat must be fitted in the rearward-facing position semi-reclined in the front or the rear of the car.
• Do not use this car seat rearward facing, where front impact AIRBAGS are fitted and armed.
• The manufacturer’s liability is limited to what is covered under the European Regulation (R44/04). This approval does not
remove the necessity for care and respect for the Highway Code.
• After putting the child in the car seat, ensure that the car seat-belt is sufficiently taut by pulling the belt. Ensure also that the belt
does not become twisted and adjust it so as to restrain the child.
The Safety 1st Urban Trek car seat and your baby:
• Never leave a child unsupervised.
• Never leave your child alone in the vehicle.
• Even a gentle impact on a vehicle can turn a child into a projectile.
• For your own safety and that of your child, always put the child in the child car seat, however short your journey may be.
• Ensure that the straps under the stomach lie as low as possible, to properly support the pelvis.
• The temperature inside a vehicle may become very high, particularly after a long period of exposure to the sun. It is strongly
recommended, under such conditions, to cover the seat of the car with a piece of material or something equivalent to prevent
the harness fixings, and in particular the metal parts, from becoming hot and burning the child.
WARNING:
It is dangerous to use or place this seat on a raised surface.
WARNING:
To avoid any risk of a fall, your child should always be fastened into the seat.
IMPORTANT:
Before carrying the seat, check that the carrying handle is locked in place.
IMPORTANT:
For your child’s safety, you are strongly advised not to place the Urban Trek car
seat on a supermarket trolley.
Safety 1st Urban Trek car seat car use:
• This device should be used only on approved vehicles equipped with 3 point/static/inertia reel seat-belts that are approved in
accordance with EEC/UN regulation N°16 or other equivalent standard.
• Do not use this car seat rearward facing, where front impact AIRBAGS are fitted and armed. You may be able to deactivate it
(see instruction book supplied with your vehicle). If so, and you are able to deactivate the airbag, you can use it facing forwards
in your vehicle.
• This child restraint is effective only if the instructions for use are respected.
• Always fasten the child restraint even when the child is not sitting in it.
• The user must always check that any luggage and other objects likely to cause injury to the occupant of the car seat in the case
of impact are properly secured.
• Never place heavy objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid the danger of projectiles in the event of an accident.
• The rigid parts and the plastic sections of a child restraint device should be positioned and installed in such a way that they
cannot, when the vehicle is being used under normal conditions, become trapped under a moving seat or in the vehicle door.
• Always check that no part of the seat or the harness is trapped under a seat or in the vehicle door.
• It is essential that the car seat be replaced after an accident.
• Never modify the construction or the materials of the car seat and the seat belt without consulting the manufacturer.
• Do not use the child restraint device without the cover. Do not replace the seat cover with a cover other than that recommended
by the manufacturer, because it will have a direct effect on the functioning of the child restraint.
• Folding seats must always be locked in place.
• After purchasing, install the seat in your vehicle. If you encounter any installation problems due to the length of the vehicle seat
belt, contact your distributor immediately (prior to use).
• If in any doubt about the correct installation or use of the system, the user is advised to contact the distributor or the
manufacturer of the child restraining device system.
• Do not use carrier contact points other than those described.
