! To use this child restraint system in accordance with regulation ECE R129/03, your child must meet the following requirements.

! Do NOT install a rearward-facing child restraint system on a front seat with an airbag. This could lead to serious or fatal injuries.
Please refer to the vehicle handbook for further information.

! NEVER use ropes or other means as a substitute to secure a child restraint system in a vehicle or to secure a child in a child restraint system.
! Do NOT use this child restraint system without the textile parts.
! Textile parts may only be replaced with parts recommended by the manufacturer. The textile parts are an essential component of the child restraint system’s performance.
! Use ONLY the recommended inner cushions in this child restraint system.
! Ensure that the child restraint system is installed so that none of its parts obstruct adjustable seats or the opening and closing of vehicle doors.
! Do NOT continue to use this child restraint system if it has been involved in an accident, even a minor one. Replace it immediately as it may have invisible structural damage.
! Remove this child restraint system and the base from the vehicle seat when not in regular use.
! Consult your dealer regarding maintenance, repair, and replacement of parts.
! To avoid the risk of falling out, always secure your child with the safety belt when seated in the child restraint system, even if the restraint system is not installed in the vehicle.
! Before carrying the child restraint system by hand, ensure the child is fastened with the safety belt and the handle is locked in the vertical position. To avoid serious or fatal injury, NEVER place the child restraint system with a child inside on an elevated surface.
! The parts of this child restraint system should never be greased.
! Always secure your child in the child restraint system, even on short trips, as most accidents occur during these.
! Do NOT use this child restraint system for more than 5 years after the purchase date, as its components may deteriorate over time or due to sun exposure and may not function properly in an accident.
! Do not expose this child restraint system to sunlight, as it may become too hot for your child’s skin. Always touch the child restraint system before placing your child in it.

! Do NOT place any objects in the area of the support leg in front of your base.
! Proper installation is only ensured by using the Isofix attachments.
! After placing your child in this child restraint system, the safety belts must be properly fastened and the crotch strap must be positioned as low as possible to securely hold the pelvis.
! Use ONLY the load-bearing contact points described in the instructions and marked on the child restraint system.
! If your child seat is damaged due to misuse (e.g., impact with the floor from a great height and/or at high speed, etc.), we recommend that you do not continue to use the product and replace it with a new one for safety reasons.
Defects in the material structure – such as fine hairline cracks – may occur that are not visible to the naked eye but significantly impair the protective effect of the child seat in the event of an accident. In case of improper product use (see scenarios above), we as the manufacturer are not obliged to replace the damaged product free of charge.
