CHILD CAR SEAT
GROUP 0+
Suitable for newborn – 13/15 months
Approximately 0 to 13kg (Newborn to 29lbs)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FITTING AND USE

NOTICE

1. This is a “Universal” child restraint; it is approved to ECE
Regulation 44.04 for general use in vehicles and will fit most, but not
all, vehicle seats.

2. A correct fit is likely if the vehicle manufacturer has declared in the
vehicle handbook that the vehicle is capable of accepting a
"Universal" child restraint for this group.

3. This child restraint has been declared “Universal” under more
stringent conditions than those applied to earlier designs which do not
carry this notice.

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

Only suitable if the vehicle is fitted with 3-point static, 3-point retractor safety belts, approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or other equivalent standards.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE USE.

The correct use and maintenance of your car seat will ensure it gives
long and trouble free use. When somebody else is using your car seat,
ensure they also know how to use it, especially the correct way to adjust
it. The safety of your child is your responsibility.

EXTREME HAZARD

Do not use in passenger
seats equipped with
airbags (SRS)

SAFETY WARNINGS

1. PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE COMMENCING

INSTALLATION, AS AN INCORRECT INSTALLATION COULD BE
DANGEROUS.

2. PARENTS SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE

THIS CHILD RESTRAINT ON A PASSENGER SEAT EQUIPPED
WITH AN AIRB AG.

3. The child seat must only be installed in the rearward facing position.

4. Never use the child seat without fastening the child’s harness correctly,
and never attempt to use it without fastening it into the car as described
in these fitting instructions.

5. It is most important that the seat belt is correctly routed and the child
seat tightened down on the upholstery as firmly as possible to ensure
maximum protection – a recommended method is shown in these
instructions.

6. Do not add to or modify this product in any way.

7. Never use this product if it has been in an accident, or if it has become
badly worn. Periodically inspect the harness for wear, paying particular
attention to attachment points, stitching and adjusting devices.

8. Do not leave a child in the seat unattended at any time.

9. Ensure that no part of the seat or seat belt is trapped in a door or a
folding seat. If your car has a folding rear seat, ensure that it is
correctly latched in its upright position.

10. Car interiors can become very hot when left standing in direct sunlight –
it is therefore recommended that the child seat, when not in use, is
covered by a towel etc. This prevents components, particularly those
attached to the child seat, becoming hot and burning the child.

11. In the event of an emergency it is important that the child can be
released quickly. This means that the buckle is not fully tamperproof
and therefore your child should be persuaded never to play with the
buckle.

12. Luggage and other heavy objects should be secured in the car. Loose
objects are liable to cause injury in the event of an accident.

13. The child seat must not be used without the cover.

14. Never place your child seat on a table or work surface.

15. This seat can be used for children of 0–13kg in weight (approximately
birth to 13/15 months of age) and is used in conjunction with a 3-point
lap and diagonal safety belt in the rear-facing position only.

16. When the child seat is not in use, it is recommended that it is
fastened into the car with a seat belt to avoid it being thrown about in
the event of an accident.

17. In an emergency your child can be released quickly by pressing the red
button on the harness buckle.

18. Store this child seat in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid
placing heavy objects on top of it.

19. If you travel with passengers using both the front and rear passenger
seats, the lighter occupants should be in the rear and the heavier
occupants in the front of the vehicle.

20. Do not allow your child seat to come into contact with corrosive
substances e.g. battery acid.

FASTENING THE HARNESS

• Slot the two plastic sections of the buckle connectors together

Fig 1

• Slot the two connectors into the hole in the top of the buckle
until they “click” into place Fig 2

• Always check that the harness is correctly locked by pulling
above and below the buckle Fig 3

• The harness should be adjusted as tightly as possible without
causing discomfort to the child. A loose harness is dangerous

and should be checked each time that you use the seat. To
tighten the harness, pull down on the adjustment strap until
the harness is the correct tightness Fig. 4

• The harness is loosened by pulling on both straps at the same
time press down on the harness adjuster that is located on the
shell underneath the “Press” word stitched on the cover Fig. 5

UNFASTENING THE HARNESS

To release the harness, push the red button in the middle of the harness
buckle inwards. You can now lift your child from the seat; ensure that
the buckle connectors do not catch on clothing.
