6. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Always pay close attention to the following...
• Always use the seat, even on short trips, as this is when most accidents occur.
• Only use the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix in a car and not at home. Car seats are not designed for home use.
• The Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix can be used on either the front or back seat. However, we recommend installing it
on the back seat.
• Never use the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix on seats equipped with frontal airbags, as this can be extremely
dangerous.
This does not apply to so-called side airbags.
• The seat must always be secured with the seat belt/Isofix and support leg, even when not in use. A loose
seat could injure other passengers in a sudden stop or crash.
• Make sure the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix does not become wedged by adjustable seats or slamming the car door
or overloaded with heavy luggage.
• Never use the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix without its cover. Do not replace the cover with a cover other than the
one supplied by the manufacturer, as the cover contributes to the safety of the seat.
• Always cover up the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix when the car is parked in the sun, as plastic and metal parts may
become extremely hot and discolour the fabric.
• To avoid damage to the fabric, do not remove the logos on the cover.
• Make sure that all luggage and objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident (on the rear
window shelf for instance) are properly secured.
• Take short breaks on longer trips to give your child some freedom of movement.
• Never leave your child unattended in the car.
• Save the instruction manual for future reference in the space provided on the back of the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix.
• Never use a second-hand product, as you can never be certain what has happened to it. The safety of the
car seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer when used by the original owner.
• Replace the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix after an accident, as the seat may become unsafe due to damage that is
not readily apparent.
• The manufacturer has taken into consideration the fact that car seats may cause indentations in car
upholstery. This is unavoidable, however, due to the prescribed safety standards and because the car seat
must be installed tightly in order to protect your child. Dorel is not liable for any damage that may occur
to the car upholstery as a result of this.
And it goes without saying...
• Set a good example and always wear your seat belt!
