Cleaning the cover
• Wash the cover and belt pads by hand (maximum of 30°C). Do not use a drier. Also see the care
instructions on the cover.
Tip: It is wise to buy an extra cover when purchasing the Tobi so that you can continue to use it even when
the cover is being washed and dried.
Reattaching the cover
• Repeat the above steps in the reverse order!
NOTE!
• First attach the 4 belt pads and the headrest cover before reattaching the cover.
• Slide the cover well into the cover edges of the shell all over.
• Check that the cover is tight fitting all over and secured properly.
4.3 Belt buckle and belt adjustment system functioning and cleaning
The proper functioning of the belt buckle and belt adjustment system is very important for the safety of
the child. The most common reason that the buckle and/or belt adjustment system does not function
properly is because it is dirty (from dust, grime, food particles, etc.). Make sure that the belt buckle stays
clean by vacuuming out all dirt. If the belt adjustment system is not functioning properly, contact your
supplier or importer immediately (see back of instruction manual for contact details). Do not use the
Tobi under any circumstances!
The following is a list of possible causes of function failure and possible solutions.
12
A. Malfunction to the belt buckle
• When opening the belt buckle, the buckle sections are released slowly.
• The belt buckle can only be opened with considerable force.
• It is difficult to click the buckle sections into the buckle (too much resistance).
• The buckle will no longer close, the buckle sections will not go together.
• There is no "click" sound when closing the buckle.
B. Solving any problems
• Check the buckle for any dirt and if necessary clean by knocking the dirt out, rinsing, blowing clean or
vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner, for example.
NOTE!
• Never use lubricants!
If you are unable to close the belt buckle or if you are unsure whether you have solved the problem
correctly, contact your retailer or importer immediately (see back of instruction manual). Under no
circumstances should the Tobi be used.

5. General instructions

Always pay attention to the following...
• Always use the seat, even on short trips close to home, as this is when most accidents occur.
• Only use the Tobi in a car and not at home. Car seats are not designed for home use.
• The Tobi may be used in the front seat and in the back seat. Even if the car is equipped with an airbag!
However, we recommend installing it on the back seat. If this is not possible, make sure that, if installing
on a front seat equipped with an airbag, the seat is in the rearmost position. See the car manual, as more
and more cars have the possibility to easily switch off the airbag.
• The seat must always be secured with the seat belt, even when not in use. A loose seat could injure
other passengers in an emergency stop.
• Make sure that the Tobi is not jammed or wedged by heavy luggage, adjustable seats or closing doors.
• Never use the Tobi without the cover. Do not replace the cover by a cover other than the original as the
cover forms part of the total safety of the seat.
• Always cover up the Tobi when the car is parked in the full sun; plastic and metal parts may become
extremely hot, this can cause burns and may discolour the cover unnecessarily.
• To avoid damage to the fabric, do not remove the logos, etc. on the cover.
• Make sure that there is no baggage or other loose objects (for example on the rear shelf) in the car.
In an emergency stop or crash these become dangerous projectiles!
• When making long journeys, make sure to take frequent breaks in order to give your child some
room to move.
• Never leave your child alone in the car unattended.
• Keep the user instructions for future reference in the appropriate place at the back of the Tobi.
• The Tobi is developed for an intensive use of approximately 10 years.
• We advise to check the expanded polystyrene (EPS) parts regularly for damages.
• Do not use second-hand products whose history is unknown. Some parts could be broken, torn or
missing.
• The user should not make any modifications to the car seat or the belts. Also labels or warnings, etc. that
form part of the seat should not be removed in any circumstances!
• Replace the Tobi when it has been subject of violent stresses in an accident: the safety of your child can
no longer be guaranteed.
• The manufacturer knows that car seats may cause impressions in car upholstery or car seat belts.
These cannot be avoided, since the safety standards demand powerful and firm fastening methods.
That is why the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage as a result of these.
And of course ...
• Always set a good example and wear your own safety belts!
