7. SAFETY NOTES
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully and keep
them to hand in the intended storage compartment
on the child
13
safety seat at all times! The instructions must be with the child safety
seat if the latter is passed on to a third party.
DANGER! For the protection of your child:
• In the event of an accident with a collision speed of more than 10 km/h, the
child safety seat may be damaged without the damage becoming imme-
diately visible. In this case the child safety seat must be replaced. Please
dispose of it properly.
• Have your child safety seat checked as a rule if it was damaged (e.g if it
falls to the ground).
• Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure that all mechanical
parts, in particular, are fully functional.
• Never lubricate or oil parts of the child seat.
• Never leave your child unattended in the child seat in the vehicle.
• Let your child in and out of the vehicle from the pavement side as a rule.
• Protect the child safety seat against intensive direct sun radiation,
as long as it is not in use. The child safety seat can become very hot
under direct sun radiation. Child skin is sensitive and could thereby
be injured.
• The more snugly the harness fits over your child's body, the better your will be
protected. Therefore avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• Take regular breaks on long journeys in order to give your child the opportu-
nity to play around.
• Use on the rear seat: Push the front seat forwards sufficiently so that the
feet of your child do cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (to avoid the
risk of injury).
DANGER! For the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecured persons or
objects may cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check
that...
• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked (i.e. that a foldable rear seat
bench latch is engaged).
• all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf) are
secured.
• all persons in the vehicle have their seatbelts fastened.
• the child safety seat is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even if no
child is being transported.
WARNING! For your protection when handling the child seat:
• Never use the child safety seat free-standing, not even for test sitting.
• When swivelling up the backrest
14
, nothing must come between the back-
rest
14
and the seat cushion
10
. You or your child could pinch your fingers,
injuring them.
• To avoid damage, ensure that the child safety seat is not jammed in between
hard objects (car door, seat rails, etc.).
• Keep the child safety seat in a safe place if it is not in use. Do not place any
heavy objects on the seat and do not store it directly next to sources of heat or
in direct sunlight.
CAUTION! To protect your vehicle:
• Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour, leath-
er, etc.) may sustain signs of wear and tear when using child safety seats. For the
optimum protection of your car seat covers, we recommend using the BRITAX
RÖMER child safety seat surface from our accessories programme.
8. ADJUSTING THE HEADREST
A correctly set headrest
22
ensures that the diagonal seat belt section
optimally positioned, and gives your child optimum protection.
The headrest
22
must be adjusted so that there is a space two fingers wide
between the headrest
and your child's shoulders.

SOFIX fastening points and prevent damage to the car seat covers. As long as they
are not used, remove them and keep them in a safe place. For vehicles with foldable
