Notice
1 - This is a "Universal" child restraint. It is
approved to Regulation No. 44, amendments
series 04, for general use in vehicles and it
will fit most, but not all, car 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 age group.
3 - This child restraint has been classified as
"Universal" under more stringent conditions
than those that applied to earlier designs
that do not carry this notice.
4 - Only suitable if the approved vehicles are
fitted with 3 point static/retractor seat belts
approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or
other equivalent standards.
5 - If in doubt, consult either the child restraint
manufacturer or the retailer.
Important information
Safety
Warning: Incorrect fitting or use of the child seat
may seriously jeopardise the safety of the child.
Therefore, ensure you:
• follow the user instructions meticulously.
• do not tamper with or modify the child seat
in any way.
Position the child seat so that it cannot be
damaged by closing the car door, adjustment of
seats or similar operations.
Do not leave the child unattended in the child
seat.
Do not leave the child seat in the car when the
car is parked in the sun: plastic parts of the child
seat may become very hot.
Make sure that bags or other objects are held
fast in the car. The driver and all passengers
must wear seat belts.
22
Secure the child seat to the car seat with the car
seat belt even when the seat is not in use.
Periodically check the condition of the child
seat. Replace the seat if it shows signs of
breakage or wear and tear.
Do not use the child seat if any parts are broken
or missing.
Use exclusively original spare parts.
Beware of objects, such as toys, in the child's
pockets that - if they remain between the
harness and the child's body - may cause injury
in the event of an accident. To avoid this risk
ensure your child's pockets are empty. This
precaution also applies to adults.
Children are often lively and restless: patiently
explain to the child the importance of remaining
seated with the harness fastened for the entire
journey. Explaining the importance of the child
seat to your child will help to ensure the required
level of safety.
In the event of an accident
All passengers must know how to take the child
out of the seat.
The child seat must be discarded and replaced
after an accident: it may have suffered damage
that is not visible by means of an external
inspection.
Comfort
Do not pull the harness too tightly across the
child's body.
When the child seat is used on the rear seat of
the car, make sure there is enough room for the
child's feet. Move the front seat forward slightly
if necessary.
Take frequent breaks on long journeys so the
child has a chance to move about.
