Frequently Asked Questions - PEARL BEBE CONFORT

What is the maximum weight for using the Bébé Confort Pearl car seat?

The Pearl car seat is designed for children from 0 to 18 kg (approximately from birth to 4 years). Regularly check that your child has not exceeded this limit.

Can I install the Pearl on any car seat?

The Pearl must be installed only on the FamilyFix base (sold separately) compatible with IsoFix. It can be placed on the rear seat or, exceptionally, on the front with airbag deactivated. Check compatibility with your vehicle in the manufacturer's list.

How to adjust the height of the harness and headrest?

The headrest is height-adjustable by pulling it up or pressing the release buttons. The harness straps should be adjusted at the child's shoulder level. The space between the harness and the child should not exceed 1 cm (thickness of a finger).

How to clean the Pearl car seat?

The cover is removable and machine washable at 30°C. Use a gentle cycle without high spin. Plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never use harsh chemicals, solvents, or lubricants.

Can I use the Pearl with an active airbag?

No. If you install the Pearl on the front passenger seat, you must deactivate the airbag. If not possible, slide the seat back as far as possible. The airbag could seriously injure the child if deployed.

What to do in case of an accident?

After an accident, replace the car seat immediately even if no damage is visible. Internal stress may have weakened the structure. Contact your retailer for a replacement.

How to know if the seat is properly installed?

The FamilyFix base emits an audible click when locked onto the IsoFix anchors. Check that the color indicators turn green. Gently shake the seat: it should not move. Refer to the manual for details.

Can I buy spare parts like the cover or buckle?

Yes. Contact Bébé Confort customer service via www.bebeconfort.com or your retailer. Have the serial number (on the orange label) handy.

What is the lifespan of the Pearl car seat?

The manufacturer recommends not using the seat for more than 5 years after purchase, due to material aging. Note the purchase date on the warranty card.

How to adjust the crotch strap?

The crotch strap is height-adjustable by sliding it into the slots under the shell. It should be positioned as close as possible to the child's body for optimal hold. Refer to the manual for available positions.
