Directions for using the kiddy relax pro

1. Introduction

We are pleased that you have decided on the kiddy relax pro as your choice for a child restraint system.

The daddy relax pro forms part of the Pro product line of our company, which, by making use of special energy-absorbing materials, provides extensive safety for the protection of your baby and growing child.

The forces generated at a collision are absorbed particularly well before it reaches the delicate body parts of your baby. To gain the most comprehensive protection for your child, the kiddy relax pro must be used exactly as described in this manual!

2. Suitability

The kiddy relax pro seat shell has been tested and approved in accordance with the latest version of the Safety Standard ECE-R44/04. It was granted the design certification for the "universal" class of products.

This means that the kiddy relax pro can be used in all vehicles with seats with three-point restraints compliant with ECE 16 or comparable standards.

It is important to take note that you may never use your kiddy seat on a car seat with an active front airbag! A front airbag that hits the seat shell with force can cause serious injury or even death to the child!

For use in your vehicle, please also follow the manufacturer's recommendations in your owner's manual.

3. General safety instructions

Please read the instructions for use carefully before using the baby seat for the first time. Incorrect use can endanger the life of your child.

Many injuries are caused by mere thoughtlessness and can easily be avoided.

Making any modifications to the child restraint system is not permitted. Doing so nullifies or impairs its effectiveness in protection. If difficulties arise, please consult your dealer or the manufacturer.

Regularly inspect the different elements of the seat shell. The belt system and belt clip in particular must be checked regularly for wear and tear or possible damage. Do not attempt to make adjustments while travelling!

Always install your kiddy seat facing the direction opposite to the one in which you are travelling.

Please adhere to the instructions in the owner's manual of the vehicle, into which your kiddy is installed.

Make sure that all movable parts of the kiddy seat are always properly locked in place.

The seat shell should only be used for the age group 0+ (up to a maximum of 13kg or approx. 15 months).

In vans and minivans it is particularly important to ensure that the kiddy seat is installed in an easily accessible seat in the event that third-party rescue is required.

Never use your kiddy seat as a shopping bag or as a means for transporting something.

Never leave your baby unsupervised, especially not when your kiddy seat is placed on a high surface (nappy changing station, table, etc.).

Always secure the baby with the belt system (even when you are not using your kiddy inside the vehicle)!

Do not place any heavy items on the rear window shelf; these can become dangerous projectiles in an accident.

Always fasten it with the vehicle seatbelt when transporting youriddy seat in your car unoccupied.

Never use your kiddy without its original cover, it forms part of the safety concept!

Shield your kiddy seat from direct sunlight to prevent uncomfortable heating of the surface.

Plan for breaks during longer trips and take your baby out of the kiddy seat to relieve the pressure on its spinal column.

Only fasten the kiddy seat with the vehicle's own three-point restraint.

Do not use youiddy seat any further if parts have been damaged or after an accident (at an impact speed greater than 10km / h ! (See point 11)

4. General use / adjustments

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using your kiddy seat for the first time. Always keep the manual in the storage compartment underneath the baby car seat (A)! This way it's always available should any problem occur.

4.1 Functions of the carry handle

To adjust the carry handle (F), press both carry handle buttons (H) (Fig. 1; No. 1) and then swivel the carry handle (F) (Fig. 1, No. 2) into the required position.

Make sure that both carry handle buttons (H) are locked in place again!

The carry handle (F) of your kiddy relax pro can be used in several different positions (Fig. 2-4).

Fig. 2 - carry position / installation position in vehicle with 3-point seatbelt

Fig. 3 - feeding position (more upright)

Fig. 4 - rocking position (for sleeping)

4.2 Unfolding and attaching the sunshield

To fold back the sunshield, pull it forward in the direction of the foot-end of the baby car seat (Fig. 5).

4.3 Adjustment of the headrest and the 5-point belt system

4.3.1 Slacken the integrated seat 5-point belt system

Before you can adjust the headrest (E) or the height of the shoulder belts (D), the belt system must be slackened.

For this purpose, keep the centre belt button (K) (Fig. 6, No. 1) pressed in and pull both shoulder belts (D) (Fig. 6, No. 2) out.

Now the headrest (E) or the shoulder belts (D) can be adjusted to the size of the child or the child can be lifted out of the baby car seat.

4.3.2 Adjusting the headrest and the 5-point belt system

The belt system is connected to the headrest (E), which means the belt system must not be adjusted separately from the headrest (E)!

To adjust it, pull the height adjustment handle (M) outwards (Fig. 7, No. 1) and move it in the required direction upwards or downwards (Fig. 7, No. 2).

The headrest (E) must be adjusted in such a way that the shoulder belts are positioned at the same level as the baby's shoulders (Fig. 8).

Let the height adjustment handle (M) click into place again after the headrest (E) has been adjusted. Make sure that the belt system is not twisted or wedged in!

5. Buckling / unbuckling of the baby

Make a point off always buckling up your child when it lies in the baby car seat (A)!

Slacken the shoulder belts as described in point 4.3.1 and place it over the side of the rim of the shell.

Place your baby in the baby car seat and then position the shoulder belts (D) over its shoulders (Fig. 9).

Place the safety belt lock tongues (C) attached to the shoulder belts over each other (Fig. 10).

Now push the safety belt lock tongues (C) into the belt clip (B). It is locked in place when a click sound is heard (Fig. 11).

Make certain that it is securely locked in place!

Now pull the centre belt (J) until the belt system fits the body of the child snugly (Fig. 12)!

Make sure that the belt system is not twisted and does not fit the child's body too tightly.

Slacken the shoulder belts (D) as described in Point 4.3.1 and press the red button on the belt clip (B) to unbuckle the baby. Now you can take the child out of the seat.

6. Installation in the vehicle

6.1 Installation with the vehicle restraint

6.1.1 Seat selection

Read up all the necessary information about the use of child restraint systems in your vehicle owner's manual.

The kiddy relax pro child restraint system can be installed on any seat of vehicles equipped with a 3-point belt system (Fig. 13).

• The passenger airbag must be deactivated or another seat must be used.

6.1.2 Installation steps with the vehicle restraint

Place your kiddy facing the rear on a seat without an active front airbag and with a 3-point belt (Fig. 14).

Pull the vehicle restraint out and feed the lap belt through both lap belt guides (I) and press the safety belt lock tongue with a clearly audible click into the belt clip (Fig. 15).

Tighten the lap belt (Fig. 15).

Now place the shoulder belt around the baby car seat (A) and feed it through the diagonal belt guide (L) at the rear of the kiddy seat (Fig. 16).

Make certain that the belt clip is in the correct position. Now pull the belt system tight.

Make certain that the belt is not twisted (Fig. 17)!

Some vehicles are fitted with so-called retractor locks. With this the automatic recoiling of the belt can be blocked, which makes a more secure installation of the kiddy seat possible.

Read your vehicles' owner manual for more information on this feature or ask your authorised workshop or dealer.

7. Removing the covers

The baby car seat may not be used without its cover. The covers are a fundamental component of the safety concept! Therefore, use only original covers from the manufacturer! If you require replacement covers, you can order them from the manufacturer.

If you want to remove the cover, it is not necessary to dismantle the belt system of the kiddy relax pro!

7.1 Removing the sunshield

Swivel the sunshield over the rim of the shell and pull the sunshield frame downwards from the rim of the shell (Fig. 18).

Now pull the sunshield frame through the loops in the sunshield (Fig. 19).

7.2 Removing the belt padding and inlay cover

Release the belt clip (B) and pull the belt clip padding from the clip in an upwards movement.

Now the Velcro® fasteners on the outsides of the shoulder belt padding (D) can be opened to remove the padding.

The inlay cover can be removed by opening the Velcro® fasteners next to the shoulder belts (D). Now the inlay cover can be removed by pulling it upwards from the headrest (E).

7.3 Removing the shell cover

To remove the shell cover, slide the headrest to the uppermost position first.

Now the attachment eyelets (Fig. 20, No. 1) in the lower area can be unfastened.

Then slide the headrest to the lowest position and unfasten the upper eyelets (Fig. 20, No. 1).

Now open the Velcro® fasteners next to the lap belts.

Release the attachment hooks on the rim of the shell next to the lap belt guides (I) and on the side where the head rests.

Now slide the belt clip (B) and the centre belt (J) through the cover (Fig. 21) and remove.

7.4 Pulling on the covers

To pull the cover on, do it in reverse sequence as when removing the cover (Point 7.1 - 7.3).

When pulling the cover back on, make certain that the belts are not twisted or wedged in.

8. Cleaning the seat covers

The covers can be washed at 30 degrees with a washing machine set to the gentle or delicates cycle. Do not use the spinning cycle and do not dry in a dryer.

9. Cleaning the plastic components

Plastic parts can be cleaned with a mild detergent or with a damp cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. solvents).

10. Cleaning the belt system

The belt system may not be removed. It can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents under any circumstances!

11. Steps to take after an accident

After an accident with an impact speed greater than 10km / h , the child restraint system must be sent back to the manufacturer without fail, to be checked for possible damages and replaced at no charge if deemed necessary.

12. Warranty

For the kiddy relax pro pro we extend a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for up to two years. The warranty period begins on the date of purchase.

A receipt is required for all claims.

The warranty covers child restraint systems that have been handled properly and are returned in a clean and orderly condition.

The warranty does not cover:

• Normal wear and tear and damage due to unreasonable use
• Damages due to improper or inordinate usage.

Fabrics: All of our fabrics meet the highest standards regarding colourfastness against UV radiation. Nevertheless, all fabrics fade when exposed to UV radiation. This is not due to defective material but to normal wear and tear, which is not covered by the warranty. Please contact your specialist dealer immediately in the event of warranty claim.

The kiddy team wish you and your child a good and safe trip at all times.
