pocket behind it which goes over
the seat frame. Make sure you

holes in the belts over the studs on
the side of the frame. Make sure

1. Locate the seat frame and put it on
an even surface. Remove the
bumper bar for the next step.
NOTE: Your Optimo will come with the carrycot already attached to the seat
frame. You should use this carrycot from birth until your child starts to sit up
unassisted, usually at 6 months of age. At this age, remove the carrycot and
attach the seat unit. Follow the procedure below to remount the carrycot when
required. Alternatively, you may order an additional mounting frame if you
wish to interchange between the seat and carrycot attachments frequently.
2. Locate the 4 fabric ends at the middle of the soft carrycot (labelled 1,2,3
and 4 in the picture). Find the grooves on the inside of the metal frame
(see picture inset). Now put end 1 into groove a and end 3 into groove c in
an anti-clockwise direction as illustrated by the arrows in the picture above.

other side of the frame to where
they started, your carrycot will be
fully attached.

part.

4. Put the child into the seat and
engage the safety lock on the
harness. You should hear a ‘CLICK’
sound. This ensures the safety lock
is engaged properly. Clip back the
hooks if they were removed in the
previous step.
5. Adjust the belts of the safety
harness to ensure the child is held
securely. Ensure the child will not
slide out. Do not over-tighten the

maintain a natural posture.

1. Attach the car seat hood to the car
seat. To do this, locate the locking
clips to the left and right side of the
hood and slide them in from the
top into the mounts either side of
the car seat. A firm push is needed
for a proper lock.
2. To install the car seat, locate the
two supplied car seat adapters.
Insert them into each side of the
car seat as displayed in the picture,
ensuring a ‘CLICK’ sound is made
when they lock in place. An
adapter will only fit on one of the
two sides, so do not try to force it
into place.
3. The car seat can be installed as
forward or rear facing. Locate the
two seat mounting points on the
frame, and lower the seat slowly
making sure the mounting points
align with the car seat adapters.

adapters for storage or
replacement, press the red buttons
located on each side of the car seat
to release the adapters. These
buttons may be hidden from view
under the car seat fabric.
USING THE CAR SEAT WITH THE
OPTIMO FRAME

1. Place the car seat facing to the rear
on the vehicle seat. The handle
should be in upright position.
Secure the car seat using the seat
belt as displayed in the drawing.
Make sure the seat belt passes
through the two seat belt clips on
the car seat. The position of these
clips can be seen in the picture. If
your car is fitted with a height
adjustment seat belt, ensure it is
set to the lowest position.
WARNING-EXTREME DANGER: Do not use this rear-facing car seat on front
passenger seat where a passenger side airbag is fitted. Airbag inflates
rapidly and can throw a rear-facing car seat into the seat backrest with great
force, which can cause death or serious injury to the child.
WARNING: Do not place the child in a sleeping bag, blanket or other bulky
wrapping before putting the child in the car seat. The shoulder straps will
not fit snugly and the child may not be safe.

1. Install the winter bag over the child
seat. To do so, open up all 5 belts of
the 5-point harness on the seat.
Place the winter bag over the seat
and bring through all 5-belts to the
front through the holes in the
winter bag. Padding on the shoulder
belts may need to be removed
temporarily to pass the belts
through the holes. It will simply
slide off and then slide on. Place
your child inside the bag, lock the
harness and zip up the winter bag.
2. The umbrella attaches to the seat
frame of your Optimo. Loosen the
clamp on the umbrella, place it
around the seat frame and tighten
the clamp. Ensure the rubber
protectors sit between the clamp
and the Optimo frame to prevent
scratches to the Optimo frame. You
can adjust the angle of the umbrella
by pressing the adjustment button
and moving the umbrella in the
desired direction.

MAINTENANCE
Your Tinytots Optimo needs regular maintenance to ensure the safety and
longevity of the product. Faults caused by improper maintenance of your
Tinytots Optimo will not be covered under the warranty.
You should follow the steps given below regularly to ensure your Tinytots
Optimo is maintained to a high standard.
1. From time to time, clean and lubricate the wheels, safety locks and
sliding parts using a light oil or silicone spray. Do not use heavy oils as
this will attract dust and grit which tend to clog and damage moving
parts.
2. All the fabrics used on your Optimo are shower resistant. Should your
Optimo become wet, do not fold the hood and allow to dry naturally.
Do not dry in front of heating sources like radiators or direct sunlight.
3. A high quality fabric dye is used in the manufacturing of the Optimo.
However exposure to direct sunlight for a long period of time will
cause the fabric colour to fade.
4. Do not wash the fabrics. The Optimo should be wipe cleaned. Light
soiling can be removed with a damp sponge and mild detergent. Do
not use brushes, abrasives or bleach for cleaning as these will damage
and discolour the fabrics.
22
NOTE: When installing any shopping clips to the Optimo frame, ensure that
you do not install them on the handle as it may damage the foam on the
handle. Install them on the side of the frame below the handle adjustment
button, and move them over to the foam handle once installed. Shopping
clips less than 16cm long should not be used with the Optimo.

stopping only for a short period
Inspect the Optimo for safety frequently
Never use abrasive cleaners or lubricants
Never lift the Optimo or use escalators while your child is sitting in it

void the warranty
To avoid the risk of suffocation, keep all plastic packaging and
materials out of the reach of children
Read this instruction manual carefully and save it for future reference.
Failure to follow the instructions contained in this manual could result
in serious injury to your child
You are personally responsible for the safety or your child at all times
Always set the parking brake on the pushchair. Never leave the child
unattended
Secure your child in the safety harness at all time
Attaching heavy weights from the handle bar can cause the pushchair
to tip over. Do this at your own risk and hold on to the handle bar at all
times if you choose to do so
Before each use, make sure all locks are secure and nothing is jammed
between the locking parts
Always use all 5 belts of the 5 point harness
26

The Optimo is a valuable piece of equipment and deserves careful
handling. Misuse will put the child in danger and will void your

Regularly check that the safety harness is correctly fitted and the
webbing is not damaged. If the harness is damaged, a new one should
be fitted before use
Clean the plastic parts of the pushchair with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasives or bleach
Clean and lubricate the wheels, safety locks and sliding parts using a
light oil or silicon spray. Do not use heavy oils as this will attract dust
and grit which tend to clog and damage moving parts
The car seat must always be secured, even when not in use. An
unsecured seat can injure other passengers in the car in the event of
an emergency stop
If the seat belt of your car is height adjustable, adjust it to the lowest
position
When installing the car seat on the passenger seat, position the car
seat in the rearmost position. The backrest must be in a fully upright
position and the headrest down. When not using the car seat, the
passenger seat (and headrest) may be adjusted as required
Prevent damage to the car seat by not wedging it between or
underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or slamming the car door
etc.
Make sure that you properly secure all luggage and other objects likely
to cause injury in the event of an accident
Always cover the car seat when the car is parked in the sun, as plastic
and metal parts can become very hot and the cover may become
discoloured
Always use a car seat, even for short trips, as this is when most
accidents occur
27
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Never hold a baby on your lap while driving. Due to the enormous
forces involved in an accident, it will be impossible to hold onto the
baby
Never use the same seat belt to secure yourself and the child
