6. Important points
Please pay special attention to the notes on transporting
children in the car, as set out in the instruction manual
of the respective vehicle.
• Children sometimes carry objects (toys, for example) in their
jacket and trouser pockets or their clothing may be fitted with
hard accessories (such as belt buckles). Make sure that these
items are not trapped in between the child and the safety belt,
otherwise they may cause unnecessary injury in the event of
an accident. Incidentally, these risks apply to adults, as well!
• It is only natural that youngsters are often very lively. So
explain to the children why it is important for them to be securely
strapped in at all times. That will ensure that they understand
why the position of the belts must not be changed and the lock
must not be opened.
• Your child's safety is optimally assured when the safety seat is
installed and operated in accordance with the instructions.
• The belts belonging to the system have to be kept taut, should
not be twisted and must be protected against damage.
• Protect the uncovered areas of the safety seat from direct
sunlight, to prevent your child from burns.
• The child restraint straps must not be damaged or trapped by
movable parts inside the car or in the doors.
• No modifications should be made to the safety seat; they
jeopardise your child's safety.
• Following an accident, the entire safety seat system has to
be replaced or sent back to the manufacturers for testing,
accompanied by an accident report.
• Inform your passenger on how to take the child out of the
restraint in the event of an accident or danger.
