WARNING: Any rigid items and plastic parts of the child car seat must be so located and installed that they are not liable, during everyday use of the vehicle, to become trapped by a movable seat or in a door of vehicle.
WARNING: If any load bearing points other than those described in the instructions are used, this can significantly reduce the protection factor of the child car seat.
WARNING: DO NOT use the child car seat in the home. It has not been designed for home use and should only be used in your car.
Always make sure that the child car seat harness and vehicle belt are correctly tensioned to ensure maximum protection for your child.
The buckle has been designed to be released quickly in an emergency. IT IS NOT CHILD PROOF. More inquisitive children might learn to undo the buckle. Children
should be told never to play with it or any other part of the child car seat.
If the vehicle seat backrest has a recline function, place the vehicle seat in the most upright position when using the child car seat.
Never use replacement parts other than those approved by Cosatto.
The lap belt must be used well down in such a way as to properly secure the pelvis of the child.
Never use the child car seat without its fabric cover because the seat cover constitutes as an integral part of the child car seat performance. The seat cover should not be replaced with any other than the ones recommended by Cosatto.
Safely secure any luggage and other objects that might cause injury to the occupant of the child car seat in the event of a crash.
After an accident, replace your child car seat and the vehicle seat belts. Although they may look undamaged, they may not protect your child as well as they should.
Cosatto advise that child car seats should not be brought or sold second-hand. Many seats sold through local advertising and car-boot sales have been found to be dangerous.
Prevent harness/vehicle belt from getting trapped between car doors or rubbing against sharp parts of the seat or body.
If the harness/vehicle belts becomes cut or frayed, replace it before travelling.
If the vehicle has been left in the sun for a long time, check the seat cover and make sure it is not too hot before placing the child in the child car seat.
Security is only guaranteed if the child car seat is fitted in accordance with these instructions.
Failure to comply with the above instructions will automatically void the warranty and exempt Cosatto from any liability.
