• All Bébé-Confort products have been carefully designed and tested for your baby’s safety and comfort.

Universal System with a 3 point seat-belt:

• Approved model ECE R44/04 • For GROUP 0+ (infants less than 13 kg): the seat must be fitted in the rearward-facing position semi-reclined in the front or the rear of the car. • Do not use this car seat rearward facing, where front impact AIRBAGS are fitted and armed. • For Group 1 seats (babies from 9 to 18kg) the seat must be fitted forward facing in the rear of the vehicle. Move the front seat of the car forward as far as possible so that the baby does not hit it. • The manufacturer’s liability is limited to what is covered under the European Regulation (R44/04). This approval does not remove the necessity for care and respect for the Highway Code. • After putting the child in the car seat, ensure that the car seat-belt is sufficiently taut by pulling the belt. Ensure also that the belt does not become twisted

The Bébé-Confort Opal and your baby:

• In the rear facing position, the Opal car seat is automatically in the maximum reclining position. Consequently the recliner control cannot be used. • Never leave a child unsupervised. • Never leave your child alone in the vehicle. • Even a gentle impact on a vehicle can turn a child into a projectile. • For your own safety and that of your child, always put the child in the child car seat, however short your journey may be.

• Ensure that the straps under the stomach lie as low as possible, to properly support the pelvis.

• The temperature inside a vehicle may become very high, particularly after a long period of exposure to the sun. It is strongly recommended, under such conditions, to cover the seat of the car with a piece of material or something equivalent to prevent the harness fixings, and in particular the metal parts, from becoming hot and burning the child.

Bébé-Confort Opal car use

• This device should be used only on approved vehicles equipped with 3 point/static/inertia reel seat-belts that are approved in accordance with EEC/UN regulation N° 16 or other equivalent standard. • Back to the road, do not use this car seat rearward facing, where front impact AIRBAGS are fitted and armed. You may be able to deactivate it (see instruction book supplied with your vehicle). If so, and you are able to deactivate the airbag, you can use it facing forwards in your vehicle. • Facing forward, the child seat must be placed on the rear seat of the vehicle or exceptionally on the front seat depending on the current legislation in the country of use. • This child restraint is effective only if the instructions for use are respected. • Always fasten the child restraint even when the child is not sitting in it. • The user must always check that any luggage and other objects likely to cause injury to the occupant of the car seat in the case of impact are properly secured.

• Never place heavy objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid the danger of projectiles in the event of an accident.

• The rigid parts and the plastic sections of a child restraint device should be positioned and installed in such a way that they cannot, when the vehicle is being used under normal conditions, become trapped under a moving seat or in the vehicle door. • Always check that no part of the seat or the harness is trapped under a seat or in the vehicle door. • It is essential that the car seat be replaced after an accident. • Never modify the construction or the materials of the car seat and the seat belt without consulting the manufacturer. • Do not use the child restraint device without the cover. Do not replace the seat cover with a cover other than that recommended by the manufacturer, because it will have a direct effect on the functioning of the child restraint. • Folding seats must always be locked in place • After purchasing, install the seat in your vehicle. If you encounter any installation problems due to the length of the vehicle seat belt, contact your distributor immediately (prior to use). • If in any doubt about the correct installation or use of the system, the user is advised to contact the distributor or the manufacturer of the child restraining device system.

• Before removal, ensure you have carefully noted the way which the various parts are attached to the seat so as to facilitate reassembly. • Before cleaning check the label sewn into the fabric, you will find the wash symbols indicating the method of washing each item. Washing symbols :
