• Read the car list to find out whether your car model is
approved to use the seat.

• The harness straps must always be locked when the child is
in the seat.

• The harness straps must be tightened without slack and
not twisted.

• The seat cover contains magnets in the areas with the orange
indications. Magnets can influence electronic equipment like
pacemakers.

• The floor support must always be used when it is installed
rearward-facing. Make sure that the floor support is fully
pushed down. When installing forward-facing the floor support
and the front brace shall not be used.

• We recommend to use the seat as long as possible in the
rearward-facing installation.

• We recommend that this seat is used only for children who
can sit upright, so not younger than 6 months.

• For children under 1 year and/or under 10 kg weight, we
recommend that the most reclined sitting position and the
body hugger and seat cushion are used.

• When the child weighs over 18 kg or the shoulder height
grows above the highest position of the shoulder straps, the
child must change to a group 2/3 seat.

• After an accident, the seat must be replaced. Although it may
look undamaged, if you were to have another accident, the
seat may not be able to protect your child as well as it should.

• Prevent the seat from becoming trapped or weighed down by
luggage, seats and/or slamming doors.

• Before every use, make sure the harness is not damaged
or twisted.

• Make sure you can fit no more than one finger between the
harness and your baby (1cm).

• If in doubt, consult either the child restraint manufacturer or
the retailer.
