Care instructions

4.1 Cleaning

• The harness and plastic parts can be sponged
with a mild detergent and warm water.

• Ensure no soap gets into the buckle or adjusters.

• Do not use chemical cleaners or bleach on the
harness straps.

• Dry thoroughly before use.

4.2 Checklist

• However safe a child car seat is, however well built
it is, your child's safety depends on you. Read this
final checklist once you have fitted your child seat
in you car.

1. Check that you have adjusted the harness to
suit your child. A fitting for winter clothes will be
too loose for a child wearing summer clothes.

2. Check you have installed your child seat
properly using a 3 point lap and diagonal belt.

3. Check that your child seat is secure before
each journey.

• REMEMBER: mis-using your child seat will reduce
the protection and safety you offer your child.

• If you are unsure about the fit of your child seat
please contact the local distributors or contact the
manufacturer for advice.
