WARNINGS!
Read this Owner's Manual completely
BEFORE first use of your car seat!
Keep this Owner's Manual always with the

of the seat shell. Plan to spend some time
getting to know your car seat-time well
spent when you consider that your baby's
safety depends on it. Pay special attention to
the warnings, printed in red.
! WARNINGS to parents and other users. DO
NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT
UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN YOUR
VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL.
Safety Requirements
European Safety Standards specify the construction
and performance of your car seat as well as its
components, requirements for fitting and use,
instructions and markings. Your car seat has been
approved to European Standard ECE R44.04
An approval number is attached to the rear of the
seat and must not be removed.
NOTICE
The seat is a "Universal" child restraint. It is
approved to Regulation No. 44.04 series of
amendments, for general use in vehicles and it will
fit most, but not all, car seats.
Only suitable if the approved vehicles are fitted
with 3 point static/with retractor safety belts,
approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or other
equivalent standards.
Important safety points
Do not use your car seat rear-facing
on any passenger seat where an
active frontal airbag is fitted.
Do take care so that the rigid items and plastic
parts of the car seat must be so located and
installed so that it is not liable to become trapped
by a moveable seat or in a door of the vehicle.
DO NOT ever take a baby out of the car seat for
any reason while vehicle is in motion. If your
10
baby needs attention, find a safe place and pull
off the road.
Do store your car seat in a safe place when not
being used. Avoid putting heavy things on top of it.
Do always check the security of your car seat before
each journey.
Do regularly check all child restraints for wear
and tear.
Do not leave children unattended in your car, even
for the shortest time.
Do not leave luggage and other objects unsecured
in the car. If the car has to stop suddenly, these
objects will continue moving and can cause serious
injuries. The larger the object, the greater the risk.
Do not make unauthorized alterations or additions
to any part of the seat or car seat belt.
Do not use accessories or parts supplied by other
manufacturers. The function of the car seat could
be altered, resulting in serious injury or death.
After an accident, the car seat must be replaced.
You may not see any damage, but after a serious
crash a car seat can be too weak to protect again.
Please contact child restraint manufacturer in the
event of any questions.
Do not use load bearing points other than
those specified by restraint manufacturer in the
instructions or on the restraint body.
! IT IS MOST IMPORTANT that the child restraint
is correctly installed with the vehicle belt

are not twisted.

injure your child if the child restraint is not properly
installed or if your child is not properly secured in
the child restraint.
