USER MANUAL Baboo CONCORD

17Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby. We hope you enjoy every moment of such a special time. To protect and safeguard your baby on journeys you have chosen our CONCORD Baboo seat, a product manufactured to a strict regime of quality controls. But the seat’s optimum safety features can only be exploited if it is properly used, so please adhere to the instructions on how to correctly install and use it. Baboo can be used on any seat in the car fitted with a three point belt but not fitted with an airbag. Based on accident statistics, we recommend the seat behind the front passenger seat. Baboo is ECE 44 approved and is suitable for babies up to approx. 18 months old (up to 13 kg body weight). Installing Baboo in the car Put Carry handle (4) in position A (Fig. 1). Always install Baboo in a rear facing position (Fig. 2). There are two installation options, option 2 is always to be recommended for vehicles with shorter seat-belts. Option A: Pull the horizontal car seat belt through the horizontal belt guides (7) marked blue and fasten (Fig. 2a+b). Open diagonal seat belt clamp (6) at back of Baboo (Fig. 4). Tighten horizontal seat belt and place diagonal seat belt around back of Baboo (Fig. 2). Tighten diagonal seat belt and put into blue belt clamp (6) (Fig. 4). The front edge of Baboo and the edge of the handle should touch the seat back (Fig. 2). Close seat belt clamp (Fig. 4).

9Option B: Open diagonal seat belt clamp (6) on back of Baboo (Fig. 4). Pull out diagonal seat belt all the way, placing it around the back of Baboo. Now pull horizontal seat belt through blue horizontal guides (7), finishing by fastening seat belt (Fig. 3). Tighten horizontal seat belt. Tighten diagonal seat belt and put into blue belt clip (6) (Fig. 4). The front edge of Baboo and the edge of the handle should touch the seat back (Fig. 3). Close seat belt clamp (Fig. 4). Please make sure that the seat belt is tight and flush, not twisted. Figures 2b and 3b show the correct position of the seat belt, the diagonal seat belt should always be passed beneath the carry handle cover (5) on the lock side. The diagonal and horizontal elements of the car seat belt must not be mixed up. Securing your baby in Baboo Children should never be left unattended in Baboo. Open harness lock (8) by pressing the red button (Fig. A). Carefully place the baby in the seat and arrange comfortably. For smaller babies we recommend using the seat size reducer, available as an accessory. Place harness (9) over baby’s shoulders and insert both elements into lock (8), making a distinct click (Fig. A). Shorten the harness by pulling the adjuster strap (10). The harness should firmly hug the child’s body (Fig. B). The harness must not be twisted. The seat must no longer be used when the top of the baby’s head reaches the top edge of the seat shell.

Adjusting the harness The harness has three settings for adjusting to the body size of the baby. The harness should come out of the shell’s openings (15) at approx. height of baby’s shoulders (Fig. C + D). In order to adjust the harness the straps are simply inserted through the appropriate holes in the shell (Fig. D). In the case of seats fitted with a nappy compartment, the compartment door (14) must be open. The harness must not be twisted or crossed. Loosening the harness: Press the adjuster button (11) at the front edge of Baboo, at the same time pulling the harness (9) (Fig. B). Tightening the harness: Pull adjuster strap (10) until harness is tight (Fig. B). Adjusting the handle mode The handle has 4 modes (Fig. 1). 1 Automatic mode 2 Carrying mode 3 Rocking mode 4 Sitting mode The handle is swung forwards or backwards by pressing the buttons (2) on both sides of the handle at the same time. In positions B, C and D the buttons automatically spring back out. Adaptation of the Baboo for bigger babies If the Baby has a weight of about 9 kg the styrofoam pelvis inlay can be removed in order to adapt the seat to the size of the baby.12

To remove: How to care for Baboo The cover (3) is removable and can be washed at 30 °C in the delicates cycle. For further instructions see label. Remove cover from rim and adjuster button (11), carefully pulling harness through holes in cover. Put cover back on in reverse sequence, taking care not to twist harness. When purchasing Baboo we recommend buying a spare cover straight away so that Baboo is always ready for use. Important information
