• Never place anything except an approved
accessory between the vehicle seat and
the child car seat or between the child car
seat and the child: in case of accident, the
car seat may not work properly.
• It is recommended to cover the child car
seat if the vehicle is left exposed to direct
sunlight. The seat fabric must only be
replaced with another approved by the
manufacturer as it forms an integral part of
the child car seat. To ensure child car seat's
safety, never use it without its fabric cover.
• Check that the safety harness strap is not
twisted to avoid that the strap or any parts
of the child car seat remain trapped be-
tween the car doors, or rub against cutting
edges. If the safety harness is cut or frayed,
it must be replaced.
• Do not transport loose or unsecured objects
or baggage on the back shelf of the vehicle:
they may injure the passengers in case of
accident or sudden braking.
• Make sure that all car passengers fasten
their seat belts, for their own safety and
because, during the journey, they may harm
the child during an accident or sudden
braking of the car.
• On long journeys make frequent stops.
Children get tired easily. Never, for any rea-
son, remove your child from the child car
seat whilst the car is moving. If your child
needs attention, find a safe place and stop.
• In the first few months after birth, children
may have difficulty breathing in a seated
position. Avoid leaving children to sleep
in the seat until they can lift their heads
themselves.
• Premature babies born before the 37th
week of pregnancy can be at risk if placed
in a child car seat. These babies might in-
cur in breathing problems when sat in a
child car seat. We therefore recommend
you to contact your doctor or the hospital
staff, before leaving the hospital. They can
recommend the most suitable type of child
car seat based on your child's situation.
