To safeguard your child you have opted for our CONCORD ULTIMAX seat. This product is manufactured under strict quality controls.

The seat shell must not be removed while the child is still seated in it.

7. Care instructions

Removing the seat covers to wash:

The cover is composed of two parts which are secured to the seat by means of Velcro tape, buttonholes and tapes. Once these ties have been released the two parts of the cover may easily be removed. To fit the covers, proceed in the reverse order (seat shell and head section).

When they come into contact with moisture, especially during washing, the cover fabrics can easily fade. Do not use solvents!

8. Important information

Please note the instructions in the car's operating manual for transporting children in a car. Information on the use of child seats together with an airbag should be observed with particular care.

Children sometimes have items in their jacket or trouser pockets (e.g. toy) or wear hard items that are attached to their clothes (e.g. belt buckle). Check that these items do not come between the child and the safety belt - they could cause unnecessary injuries in the event of an accident. These hazards also apply to adults!

Naturally children can often be very lively. You should therefore explain to children how important it is to always be safely fastened in. Children must understand that they should never change the way the belts are positioned, and never open the buckle.

Only if safety equipment is correctly installed and used can your child enjoy maximum safety.

All straps in the child restraint system and all belts required for securing the seat in the car must be fitted tautly and without twists, and must be protected against damage.

Protect those parts of the restraint system that are not covered in fabric from direct sunlight to avoid your child being burned.

The child restraint system must not be damaged or trapped by moving parts in the car interior or by doors.

Never modify the restraint system in any way - this will endanger your child's safety.

After an accident the whole child restraint system must be replaced or returned to the manufacturer for testing along with a report of the accident.

8. Important information

You should also tell your passenger how to remove the child in the event of an accident or danger.

The belts may only be routed via the points of contact for the belt on the seat and the positions stated in the user instructions. Belts must not be routed in any other way.

The lap belts on the harness system must be fitted as low down as possible so that the child's hips are held correctly.

The child seat may not be used in conjunction with active front airbags (risk of death)!

Do not leave your child in the child car seat unsupervised whether strapped in or not.

Secure luggage and other items to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

The user instructions must always accompany the child car seat.

The use of accessories and replacement parts is not permissible and shall lead in the event of contravention to the expiry of all claims under the warranty and of all liability claims. Only special CONCORD original accessories are excluded.

The child car seat must always be used with its original covers.

Suitable for cars with three-point (lap and diagonal) seat belts tested in accordance with ECE Regulation 16 or a comparable standard.

As the period of use for this restraint system (ULTIMAX) is very long, it is natural that seat covers and other used parts will each receive different degrees of wear and tear depending on the individual duration and intensity of use and will need to be replaced. For this reason it is not possible to give a blanket warranty of durability extending beyond a six-month warranty period.

For additional purchases, please

contact your local specialist child and baby shop, specialist departments in department stores, car accessories centre or mail order companies. There you will also be able to buy the full range of accessories for CONCORD child's car seats.

The ULTIMAX child car seat has been tested in a simulated head-on crash at an impact speed of 50 kph against a solid obstacle. This complies with the international test standard ECE R 44 04 which forms the basis for all tested restraint systems. If used according to legal requirements, and given adherence to the instructions for installation and use, this device should prevent or reduce injury to children up to three years of age or with a body weight of up to 18 kg in the event of an accident, depending on the type and severity of accident.

As is the case with the use of safety belts for adults, a child safety device does not replace the need for responsible and prudent driving behaviour.
