Safety Instructions
WARNINGS: Please spend a few minutes reading these operating instructions
to ensure the necessary safety of your child. Many injuries caused by
accidents can be avoided by careful and proper use of the car seat.
- The seat is designed for installation solely on vehicle seats equipped with seat belts facing the direction of travel. The seat must not be installed on vehicle seats/benches facing the rear or side of the direction of travel (see A.2).
- In the case of installing the seat on the front seat, it is necessary to disable the front airbag.
- Remember that the inner belts holding the child should be adjusted to the child’s body structure and should not be twisted. For this reason, do not put thick clothes on the child under the belt.
- The lap belts of the safety belts must be as low as possible across the child’s hips to ensure optimal effect in case of an accident.
- The seat must be replaced if it has been subjected to significant stress during an accident.
- Without the approval of the appropriate authority granting approval for the car seat, it cannot be modified in any way. Non-compliance with the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer may pose a threat to life and health.
- The child car seat should be protected from direct sunlight; otherwise, the heated elements can burn your child. Protect your child and the car seat from sunlight.
Usage of Insert:
An insert can be used for added comfort and support for smaller children
until they outgrow it. Remove the insert when the child needs more space in
the car seat.
Using the Car Seat:
Adjust the car seat according to the child’s height. Ensure the safety
straps are at the correct height and properly positioned over the child’s
shoulders.
Installing in Vehicle:
Install the car seat in a forward-facing position using the vehicle’s
3-point seatbelts. Make sure all straps are securely fastened and that the car
seat is correctly positioned.
Installation and Adjustment
- Loosen the inner belts by pressing the red button on the buckle (6).
- Place the inner insert (14) in the seat so that it is flush with the sides.
- Adjust the position of the inner belts. Make sure the inner belts are not twisted.
- With the help of the strap, place the upper part of the inner insert on the headrest.
Securing the Child with Inner Belts
- Loosen the inner belts by pressing the button (8) and pull the restraint straps (see C.4).
- Unfasten the buckle (6) and place the restraint straps on the sides of the seat (see B.5, B.8). Place the child in the seat (see B.6).
- Adjust the headrest to the child’s height (see section 5.1).
- Share the crotch straps to secure it and put it into the buckle until you hear a “click” (see B.7).
Tightening of Inner Belts
- Pull the shoulder straps to eliminate slack in the hip section, so the inner belts lie flat.
- Tighten the restraint straps with the adjustment strap (8) so that they lie flat on the child’s body and close to it (see C.8).
- NOTE: The inner belts of the hip section must be positioned as low as possible on the hips of the child. Pay attention that the inner belts are not twisted (see C.9).
Installation in Vehicle
For installation facing the direction of travel, for children with a height
in the range of 100 to 150 cm using safety belts, refer to sections 6.1 and
6.2 for detailed instructions, including securing inner belts and ensuring
proper fit and tension.
Maintenance Instructions
Removing the cover involves several steps, such as removing the insert if
used (see section 4.1), disassembling the inner belts if used (see section
6.2.1), and more, as outlined in section 7.1. Note that frequent removal is
not recommended.
Cleaning
All important parts of the seat should be regularly checked. Mechanical parts must function flawlessly. Use only the original cover, as it is an essential element of the safety of the seat. NOTE: Do not use the seat without a cover. The cover should be washed only by hand with neutral detergents or warm water. Do not spin-dry or dry in a tumble dryer. You should extract the foam located in the cover on the backrest of the seat. Plastic elements can be cleaned with water or soapy water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (like solvents). Inner belts can be cleaned in lukewarm water with soap. Caution! Never remove the metal buckles from the belts.
