SAFETY NOTES

Please take the time to read these instructions carefully and keep

them to hand in the designated compartment 10 in the infant carrier at all times! The instructions must be kept 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 infant carrier may be damaged without the damage becoming immediately visible. In this case the infant carrier must be replaced. Please dispose of it properly.

• As a rule, have your infant carrier 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 infant carrier.

• Never leave your baby unattended in the infant carrier in the vehicle.

• Always secure your baby in the infant carrier using the seat belt.

• Never leave your baby unattended in the infant carrier on raised surfaces (e.g. changing unit, table, sofa).

• Protect the infant carrier from intensive direct sunlight (e.g. cover with a lightweight cloth) when it is not in use. The infant carrier can get very hot in direct sunlight. Children's skin is sensitive and could be harmed.

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

• The infant carrier is not intended to hold your baby for long periods of time. The semi-recumbent position in the infant carrier will always put a strain on your baby's spine. Take your baby out of the infant carrier as often as possible – this includes interrupting long car rides. Do not keep your baby in the infant carrier once it has been removed from the car.

• Lock the backrests of the vehicle seats (for example, engage the latch on the folda ble rear seat bench).

• Never try to secure a baby on your lap with the vehicle seat belt or by holding onto them.

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...

• 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 infant carrier 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:

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

• Make sure that the bottom end of the belt does not get stuck anywhere (e.g. in doors, escalators, etc.) as this could cause the infant carrier to fall.

• Keep the infant carrier 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

seat protector from our range of accessories.
