The kiddy maxi pro is part our company's new pro line, which offers comple- tely safety to protect your baby and growing child by means of a special material that derives energy. In order to secure your baby completely in the kiddy maxi pro seat, this is fitted in the head support area with the new mate- rial. The impact of a side collision will be absorbed particularly well before it reaches the sensitive head area of the baby. For complete protection of your baby the kiddy maxi pro has to be used exactly as is described in these directions. Introduction

The kiddy maxi pro seat was tested and approved in line with the most cur- rent version of the standard ECE44-04. It received the design certification for the category "universal". This means that it should be used in all vehicle types on seats with 3-point vehicle belt in accordance with ECE 16 or com- parable norms. Please note that the kiddy maxi pro seat should never be used on vehicle seats with active front air bag. Caution! A front airbag that comes out onto the seat can seriously injure or even kill your child. The seat can be used on all vehicle seats with the following features: - There is no active front airbag. - There is a 3-point vehicle belt available, which is approved in accordance with ECE 16 or comparable standards. Follow the recommendations of the vehicle manual. The seat can be used for babies ( 0+) up to 13kg or approx. 15 months.

2. General safety instructions

Read through the directions for use carefully before fitting the kiddy maxi pro seat for the first time. Incorrect use can be life-threatening for your child. Many injuries are caused by carelessness and are easily avoidable. pb RE E It is forbidden to make any changes whatsoever to the child restraint systems. The protective effect can be lost or restricted. If you experience difficulties please contact your specialist dealer or the manufacturer directly. Before each journey check the parts of the seat pan. Above all the belt system has to be regularly checked for wear and tear and possible damage. Do not carry out any settings during the journey. Fit the seat pan in the opposite direction to which you are driving (always with the back in the driving direction). Please observe the notes in the vehicle manual, in which the seat pan is to be fitted. Cf. chapter 4.1. Make sure that all parts are always locked in place correctiy. Set the adjustable back rest of your car seat so that it has contact to the carrying frame of the seat pan. Make sure that no parts of the seat pan are penned into the doors or adjustable seats. With vans and caravans make sure that in the case of a rescue operation by a third party the seat pan is preferably on a seat that is easily accessible.

pb b>EE-EED>EE Only use the seat pan for the weight category specified - up to a maximum of 13kg. Cf. chapter 1. Never use the seat pan without the original cover. It is part of the safety concept. Never use the seat pan as a shopping aid or other carrying aid. Never leave your baby unattended in the seat pan, especially not when you put the seat pan on raised surfaces (baby changing unit, table etc.). Do not place any heavy objects on the rear shelf. This could be dangerous in the event of an accident. If you drive with the seat in the car without a child, always secu- re it with the safety belt. Protect the seat pan from direct sun light as it could heat up and cause discomfort. Allow your baby breaks during longer jouneys and see that you take the baby out of the seat during these breaks to relieve the spine. Ensure that the seat pan has been fitted in the vehicle according to these instructions. Never use the seat pan without having the child car seat's own 5-point belt system locked and the belt tightened. This also applies to use outside the vehicle. Do not continue to use the seat shell if parts have been dama- ged or loosened after an accident (accident speed great then 10 Km/h) or through other effects.

Please read these directions carefully before using the seat shell kiddy maxi pro for the first time. Always keep the directions for use in the box provided underneath the seat pan. This way it is always there if you encounter pro- blems.

Check that this is locked in place by pulling on the belt. Fig.10

Guide the shoulder belt of the vehicle's own 3-point belt systems on the back of the baby seat pan and thread this between the blue belt guide and the guide on the seat pan (fig. 11).
