Important Notes
3
• Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is
properly adjusted around your child each time you use the
child restraint.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes your child is wearing. The fit
for a child in winter clothes will differ from a child in summer
clothes.
• Cover the child restraint if your vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child restraint can become hot to the touch
in sunny weather.
• Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
• Discontinue use of a child restraint that is older than six years
or has been in a severe crash. This ensures that no
deterioration or hidden damage has occurred.
• DO NOT leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
• DO NOT, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disas-
semble any part of the child restraint or change the way its
harness or your vehicle seat belts are used.
• DO NOT leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back
of your vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will
keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
• DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of
a sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint
from protecting your child as well as it should.
• DO NOT allow children to play with the child restraint.
• DO NOT use anything to raise the restraint off the vehicle seat.
In an accident, it could slide and be unable to protect your child
as well as it should.
