Important Notices

• WARNING: Read this instruction manual carefully. Study the illustrations in
this instruction manual before use, and, when installing the car seat. The Child
Safety Seat is a safety product and is only safe when used according to the
instructions.

• WARNING: The correct fitting of the Child Safety Seat is of vital importance for
the safety of your child. See the Installation section and/or the sticker on the
side of the seat.

• WARNING: Ensure that the rigid items and plastic parts of the Child Safety
Seat are 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 the vehicle.

• WARNING: Never use the Child Safety Seat rearward facing on a seat
equipped with a front airbag, as this can result in serious injury or death. This
does not apply to so-called "side airbags".

• WARNING: The Child Safety Seat must only be used on a forward facing seat
that is fitted with an automatic 3-point safety belt or ISOFIX points that are
approved according to ECE R16 or other equivalent standards, that comply to
SABS 1080.

• WARNING: The vehicle seat belt holding the restraint to the vehicle should be
tight, the straps restraining your child should be adjusted to your child’s body,
and the straps should not be twisted.

• WARNING: After an accident, the seat may become unsafe due to damage
that is not immediately noticeable. It should therefore be replaced.

• WARNING: No alterations or additions may be made to the Child Safety Seat,
as this could affect part or the overall safety of the seat.

• WARNING: Always cover the Child Safety Seat when the car is parked in the
sun, as plastic and metal parts may become extremely hot and it may be too hot
for the child's skin. The fabric could also unnecessarily discolour.

• WARNING: Never leave your child unattended in the car.

• IMPORTANT: The lap strap should be worn low down, so that the pelvis is
firmly engaged.

• WARNING: Ensure that all luggage and objects likely to cause injury in the
event of an accident are secured properly.

• WARNING: The Child Safety Seat must not be used without the cover. Always
use an original Child Safety Seat cover, as the cover contributes to the safety of
the seat.

• WARNING: For future use of the seat, it is important that you store the
instruction manual in a safe place and close at hand.

Important Notices

• It is recommended that child safety seats not be used longer than 10 years
after the date of purchase. The product properties may deteriorate due to
ageing of the plastic and/or sunlight, without this being visibly apparent.

• The manufacturer has taken into consideration the fact that car seats may
cause indentations in the car upholstery. This is unavoidable, however, due to
the prescribed safety standards, and because the car seat must be installed
tightly in order to protect your child, the manufacturer is not liable for any
damage that may occur to the car upholstery as a result of this.

• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt or ISOFIX points even when
not in use. An unsecured seat may injure other passengers in the car in the
event of an emergency stop.

• The Child Safety Seat may be used on either the front or the back seat.
However, we recommend that it is fitted on the back seat.

• Always use the seat, even on short journeys, as this is when most accidents
occur.

• Prior to purchase, check to make sure the seat fits properly in your car, consult
the assistant where you are purchasing your Child Safety Seat.

• Tell your child that he/she should never play with the belt buckle.

• The moving parts of the Child Safety Seat should not be lubricated in any way.

• The safety of the seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer if it is used
by the original owner.

• We strongly advise that you never use a second-hand product, as you can
never be sure what has happened to it.

• The belt pads are important for the safety of your child, therefore use them at
all times.

• DO NOT use any load bearing contact points other then those described in the
instruction manual and marked on the child restraint i.e. where the vehicle seat
belt touches the child restraint. If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer.

• NOTE: The adult seat belt buckle should be below the highest load bearing
point of the child safety seat. If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer.

• The Child Safety Seat has been approved according to the strictest European
safety standards (ECE R44/04) and is suitable for Group 0+ (Birth-13kg) and
Group 1 (9-18kg), Group 2 (15-25kg) & Group 3 (22-36kg).

• WARNING: Do not use the Child Safety Seat forward facing before your child

is 9kg. It is recommended to use the Child Safety Seat rearward facing up to
13kg.
