CLEANING & CARING

Check your car seat for cuts & bruises. If your product is damaged in any way , or you’re not sure how to use it, please consult our web support from where you can access a local customer care team.

Caring for your car seat

Unlike children, your car seat likes to stay clean.

Cleaning the fabric cover:

• Read the label on the removable cover for washing instructions.

• Hand wash in warm water only.

• DO NOT tumble dry.

• The fabric cover can be easily removed for washing.

1. Remove the harness by gently feeding it through from the front to the back of the seat.

2. Next remove the crotch strap, including buckle, by rotating it a quarter turn and feeding it out through the seat shell. The cover should now be free of obstruction.

3. Remove the cover and machine wash it at 30ºC; line dry only.

4. To replace the cover follow the instructions above in reverse.

Product care

Cleaning the harness, chest pads and seat:

• Sponge clean only. Use hand soap and warm water.

• DO NOT attempt to remove the harness straps from the seat when cleaning. It is unnecessary and dangerous to do so.

• DO NOT use solvents, detergents or washing up liquids as these may weaken the harness and seat.

• DO NOT lubricate or oil any part of the seat.

• DO NOT wring.

• Dry thoroughly before storage.

• Store in a well ventilated space, away from direct sunlight which could damage or fade your product.

• Store in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.

• DO NOT allow to come into contact with corrosive substances e.g. battery acid.

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

IMPORTANT

Please read thoroughly before commencing installation as an incorrect installation could be dangerous.

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 phil&teds or the retailer.

Extreme Hazard

• Do not use in passenger seats equipped with airbags.

Vehicle seat belt requirements

WARNINGS

• PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION AS AN INCORRECT INSTALLATION COULD BE DANGEROUS.

• THIS CHILD SEAT SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE USED ON A PASSENGER SEAT EQUIPPED WITH AN AIRBAG.

• The child seat must only be installed in a rear facing position.

• 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. If the height of the shoulder straps is not ok please re-install the seat with the straps in the appropriate locations.

• It is important that the seat belt be correctly routed and the child seat held down on the upholstery as firmly as possible to ensure maximum protection for the child occupant. A recommended method is shown in these instructions.

Safety Warnings

• A car’s interior can become very hot if the car is left parked 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.

• In the event of an emergency it is important that the child can be released quickly. This means that the buckle is not fully tamper proof and a child occupant should be persuaded never to play with the buckle.

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

• The child seat must not be used without the fabric cover.

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

• This seat can be used for children of 0−13kg in weight and in conjunction with a 3-point lap and diagonal safety belt in the rear-facing position only.

• 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 flying loose and causing injury in the event of an accident.

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

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

• If you travel with passengers using both the front and rear passenger seats, the lighter occupants should be in the rear

Safety Warnings

and the heavier occupants in the front of the vehicle.

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

• Do not leave the child seat with a child in it on a raised surface, such as a table work top, bed or shopping trolley, due to the risk of falling.

• The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the seat if it is used by the original owner and according to the instructions.

• We strongly advise against using a secondhand product, as you can never be sure of its history.

• Always check to make sure the seat fits in your car properly before purchasing it.

• This seat cannot be used as a rocker.

• The car seat is only suitable for use in vehicles fitted with 3 point safety belts, approved to UN/ECE regulation 16 or equivalent standards.

• After an accident this product and your car seat belts should be replaced. They may not look damaged but in the event of another accident, this product and your car seat belts may not be able to protect your child as well as they should.

• When fitting the belt, it may become gathered or bunched. Ensure the belt is firm and there is no slack.

• Do not use this product without the fabric cover.

• Do not make any alterations or addition to the product.
