- The restraint system should be fixed in the vehicle when not in use with a child, for safety in the event of heavy braking.
- Keep all straps used to attach the restraint system to the vehicle taut, and adjust the straps used to restrain the child. It is also important that the the straps are not twisted.
- Ensure that the belt is positioned as low as possible, to support your child’s pelvis.
- Replace the device when it has been subjected to violent stresses in an accident.
- It is dangerous to modify or add to the device in any way without approval of the competent authority. It is also imperative to follow meticulously the instructions provided by the manufacturer concerning installation of the child restraint device.
- Keep the seat sheltered from sunlight, so that the child cannot get burned.
- Do not leave children unsupervised while in a child restraint device.
- Make sure that luggage and other objects likely to cause injuries to the occupant of the seat if impact occurs are firmly secured.
- Do not use the child restraint device without the seat cover.
- Do not replace the seat cover with a cover other than the one recommended by the manufacturer, as it directly influences the behaviour of the restraint device.
- Do not use load-bearing contact points other than those described in the instructions and marked on the restraint system.
- Always give preference to rear seats, even if the highway code allows installation at the front.
- In winter take care not to secure the child in with clothes that are too bulky.
- If you are in any doubt about installation and proper use of your seat, please contact the manufacturer of the child restraint device.
- Check that rigid items and plastic parts of the child car seat are located and installed so that they are not liable, during everyday use of the vehicle, to become trapped by a movable seat or in a door of the vehicle.

In-car installation
Position the seat inside the vehicle. Sit your child in the car seat. Adjust the headrest for your child’s height. The adjustable headrest is designed to be used as your child grows up providing maximum lateral protection. If the headrest of the vehicle is in the way, pull it out all the way or remove it completely. Remember to reposition the headrest on the vehicle seat if the child car seat is removed and the seat is used by a passenger
Feed the diagonal belt through the green upper belt guide in the headrest. Pull the car safety belt by threading the lap belt through the lap belt guides under the two armrests in line, and by threading the diagonal belt under the armrest on the side of the fastener buckle. Fasten the vehicle seat belt. Tighten the vehicle seat belt. Ensure that the belt is tight enough and not twisted.
3 point belt
Ensure the diagonal belt lies gently on the child’s shoulder and the lap belt is worn over the hips. If the diagonal belt lays across child neck, head or face, readjust head support height. Tighten the diagonal section of the seat belt by pulling it upwards until there is no slack and the belt holds the child firmly in place. To take the child out of the seat, simply unfasten the seat belt and take it out of the shoulder belt guide.
If your vehicle is equipped with Isofix anchor points, these should be used to obtain a more stable installation. These cars have plastic elements that guide the seat’s Isofix anchors into their correct positions. If your vehicle does not have these guide elements, you can use the plastic guides provided with the car seat.
Find the ISOFIX anchors. Extend the ISOFIX connectors from the car seat as far as possible. Line up the ISOFIX connectors with the ISOFIX anchor points. Click the ISOFIX connectors into the anchor points; the indicators on each connector should turn from red to green. Push back the seat against the vehicle seat. Ensure that the child seat is secure by trying to pull it out. Using the ISOFIX system, you can fix the car seat to the vehicle, thereby increasing your child’s safety. The child still needs to be secured with the three-point belt of your vehicle.

Removing the seat
Release the car seat belt. Remove the diagonal part of the belt from the guide. If the child car seat has also been fastened with the ISOFIX connectors, it is necessary to release them from the ISOFIX anchors using the release button.
Maintenance advice
Remove the fabric cover of the headrest. The polystyrene parts of the headrest may not be removed. Remove the car seat cover. To put the cover back on the seat, reverse the process. All the fabric parts are removable. Minor stains can be removed using a sponge and soapy water or hand-washed in soapy water. Do not use bleach, do not iron, do not machine wash or tumble dry. The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral detergent.
