IV. Advice
A. Things to do
• Before fitting your car seat, read these instructions carefully.
Remember, an incorrect installation could be dangerous.
• Save these instructions in a safe place, preferably in the car seat
instructions compartment below the seat frame, or in the vehicle so
that you can find them for future reference.
• Ensure that once the child seat is fitted, none of its harness straps or
the car seat belts can become trapped by the vehicle seat's moving
parts or the vehicle's door.
• Make sure every time you use the car seat that the vehicle's seat belt
is tight and the car seat is held firmly in place.
• Car interiors may become very hot when left standing in direct
sunlight - it is therefore recommended that the car seat, when not in
use, is covered by a towel etc.; this prevents components, particularly
those attached to the child seat, becoming hot and burning the
child.
• Regularly check the car seat for signs of wear, especially the cover,
the harness webbing and its buckle.
• If your car seat is showing signs of wear, contact the manufacturer's
Customer Services Helpline on: 0845 872 6900 where one of our
trained advisors will be able to assist you.
• Before travelling, check that luggage or any moving object,
especially heavy or sharp objects, are secured in the car. Loose
objects are liable to cause injury in the event of an accident.
• When travelling with other passengers, for safety reason, lighter
occupants should be preferably in the rear of the vehicle and the
heavier occupant in the front passenger seat; moreover, check that all
passengers travelling with you have their seat belt fastened.
• Whenever the car seat is left in the vehicle without the child in
it, always ensure it is correctly fitted using the vehicle's seat belt,
preventing it from being thrown about in an accident.
B. Things NOT to do
• Never use the child seat without fastening the child's harness
correctly and never attempt to use it without fastening it into the car,
as described in these fitting instructions.
• Never place any padding between the base of the car seat and the
vehicle's seat, as this could impair the safety of the car seat.
• Do not add to and/or modify this product, in any way.
• Never use spare parts that are not recommended or supplied by
the manufacturer.
• Should any unauthorized modification be made to this child seat,
its safety could be jeopardized; the manufacturer solely being
authorized to make any modification.
• Do not leave a child unattended in the seat or in the vehicle, at any
time.
• Never allow children to play with the car seat.
• Never install or remove the car seat with the child in it.

• This car seat must not be used without the cover.
• The seat cover should not be replaced with any other than the one
recommended by the manufacturer, since the cover is an integral
part of this restraint.
• Do not allow your car seat to come into contact with corrosive
substances e.g. battery acid, solvents etc.
• The buckle on the car seat is not fully tamper proof - you should
dissuade your child from playing with it.
• Refrain from using it as a toy or as a seat at home.
• Never use this product if it has been in an accident, or if it has
become badly worn.
• If your car seat has been involved in an accident at a collision speed
above 10 km/h, even though minor, you MUST dispose of it and
purchase a new one; even if your car seat shows no signs of damage,
there may be weaknesses that you are unable to see; if this car seat is
involved in another accident it may fail to protect your child.
• For this reason we suggest that you NEVER use or purchase a second
hand car seat.
In the event of an emergency:
• In an emergency your child can be released quickly by pressing the
red button on the car seat harness buckle (see fastening the harness
on Fig. 25).
