The child safety seat has been designed, tested and certiﬁed according to the requirements of the European Standard for Child Safety Equipment (ECE R 44/04). The seal of approval E (in a circle) and the approval number are located on the orange approval label (sticker on the child safety seat).

7. SAFETY NOTES

Please take the time to read these instructions carefully and keep them

to hand in the intended storage compartment 13 on the child safety seat at all times! The instructions must be with the child safety seat if the latter is passed on to a third party.

DANGER! For the protection of your child:

• In the event of an accident with a collision speed of more than 10 km/h, the child safety seat may be damaged without the damage becoming immediately visible. In this case the child safety seat must be replaced. Please dispose of it properly.

• As a rule, have your child safety seat checked if it was damaged (e.g if it falls on the ground).

• Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure that all mechanical parts, in particular, are fully functional.

• Never lubricate or oil parts of the child seat.

•

Never leave your child unattended in the child seat in the vehicle.

• Only allow your child to enter and exit the vehicle on the pavement side.

• Protect the child safety seat from intensive direct sunlight when it is not in use. The child safety seat can get very hot in direct sunshine. Child skin is sensitive and could thereby be harmed.

•

The more snugly the belt ﬁts over your child's body, the better they will be protected. Therefore avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.

• Take regular breaks on long journeys in order to give your child the opportunity to play around.

• Use on the rear seat: Move the front seat forward far enough that you child's feet cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (to prevent risk of injury).

DANGER! For the protection of all vehicle occupants:

In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecured persons or objects may cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check that...

• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked (i.e. that any foldable rear seat bench latch is engaged).

• all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf) are secured.

• all persons in the vehicle have their seatbelts fastened.

• the child safety seat is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even if no child is being transported.

WARNING! For your protection when handling the child seat:

• Never use the child safety seat free-standing, not even for test sitting.

• The backrest 14 may tip backward. Always place the child seat on the vehicle seat before having your child sit down in it.

• When swivelling up the backrest 14, nothing must come between the backrest 14 and the seat cushion15 . You or your child could pinch your ﬁngers, injuring them.

•

To avoid damage, ensure that the child safety seat is not jammed in between hard objects (car door, seat rails, etc.).

•

Keep the child safety seat in a safe place when it is not in use. Do not place any heavy objects on the seat and do not store it directly next to sources of heat or in direct sunlight.

CAUTION! To protect your vehicle:

•

Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour, leather, etc.) may sustain signs of wear and tear when using child safety seats. For optimum protection of your car seat covers, we recommend using the BRITAX RÖMER car seat protector from our range of accessories.
