kiddy cruiser pro – operating manual

We’re happy that you have decided on the kiddy cruiser pro as your choice for a child restraint system (A). The kiddy cruiser pro is the latest innovative product in our Pro product line. Our special energy-absorbent materials provide the greatest possible safety in the event of a lateral impact. Your child safety car seat is also equipped with kiddy shock absorbers (E), which provide extensive protection during frontal impact. To gain the most comprehensive protection for your child, the kiddy cruiser pro must be used exactly as described in this manual. The kiddy cruiser pro parts are indicated by a letter in brackets in this user manual and are explained at the beginning under the point with the same descriptor.

The kiddy cruiser pro has been tested and licensed according to the latest version of the ECE-R44/04 licensing specifications. It received the design certification for the “universal” class of products. This means that the kiddy cruiser pro is suitable for use in all types of vehicles in any seat with a three- point restraint compliant with ECE 16 or comparable specifications. The kiddy cruiser pro child restraint system is suitable for weight classes II to III, i.e. for children weighing between 15 and 36kg (approximately 3 years to 12 years of age) or up to a height of 150cm. Age Groups (Weight Classes): AG II: 15 kg – 25 kg AG III: 22 kg – 36 kg ENGFor use in your vehicle, please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations in your owner’s manual, or contact your dealership.

3. General safety instructions

Please read the entire instruction manual thoroughly before installing the child restraint system for the first time. Improper installation can endanger the life of your child. Most injuries, caused by mere thoughtlessness, are easily avoided. Use the child restraint system only for weight classes II to III (from 15kg up to 36kg maximum). Check to make sure the child restraint system (A) is properly adjusted to the size of your child prior to the trip. Do not attempt to make adjustments during travel. Make sure that all parts are properly locked in place. Always secure the child restraint system (A) with your vehicle’s own three-point restraint system. Make sure that none of the child restraint system’s (A) parts are caught in doors or reclining seats. In vans and minivans it is particularly important to ensure that the child restraint system (A) is installed in an easily accessible seat in the event that third-party rescue is required. The seatbelt should never be loose. During an accident strain on the body from a loose seatbelt is significantly higher than from a tight seatbelt. Make sure the seat belt buckle is properly fastened. Never leave your child unattended in the child restraint system (A).

ENG5 Do not place any heavy items on the rear window shelf; these can become dangerous projectiles in an accident. Even when transporting the child restraint system (A) in your car unoccupied, always secure it in the prescribed fashion with your vehi- cle’s three-point restraint. Making any modifications to the child restraint system (A) is not per- mitted. Doing so nullifies or impairs its effectiveness in protection. If difficulties arise, please consult your dealer or the manufacturer. Keep the child restraint system (A) out of direct sunlight to prevent uncomfortable heating of the surface. The child restraint system (A) may be used only in seats with three- point restraints compliant with ECE 16 or comparable specifications. Ensure that the child restraint system (A) was installed in the vehicle in accordance with this manual. Permit your child to take breaks during longer trips, and be sure that she does not step out of the vehicle into traffic unattended. Always use the child safety locks in your vehicle’s passenger doors, if available. Do not use the child restraint system (A) any further if parts have been damaged or loosened after an accident (with an impact speed greater than 10 km/h) or through other causes (See Section 9). Use only the seatbelt configuration prescribed by the manufacturer. ENG6

4. Seat selection and adjustment

Please familiarise yourself thoroughly with the use of child restraint systems (A) as described in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. The child restraint system (A) kiddy cruiser pro can be installed in vehicles on any seat with a three-point restraint system (Fig. 1). The kiddy cruiser pro can also be used in rear-facing car seats that are equipped with a three-point restraint system (Fig. 1). If the motor manufacturer allows child restraint systems on the passenger seat, the seat should be moved to the position furthest back. If installation is prevented by a headrest, it must be set at the highest position or removed (Fig. 2). The kiddy cruiser pro’s adjustable backrest (C) ensures that it can rest secu- rely against the backrest of the car seat. Position the vehicle’s reclining backrests accordingly.

5.1 Adjusting the head and shoulder rest

The innovative adjustment system of the kiddy cruiser pro provides the optimal adjustment to the size of your child by adjusting the headrests (F) and shoulder rests (G) in one movement. The correct headrest setting is achieved when the head of your child lies in the narrowest position of the headrest (F) (Fig. 4).

ENG7 To adjust the head (F) and shoulder rests (G), grasp the height adjustment handle (K) on the back of the headrest (F) and pull it out gently, while simultaneously raising or lowering the headrest (F) to the desired height (Fig. 5). Check to see that the headrest (F) is firmly locked in place by gently pressing down on it.

5.2 Adjustment of leg extension (AG II-III, 15-36kg)

Your child can enjoy substantially better seating comfort by adjusting the leg extension (I). The leg extension (I) can be adjusted to 4 positions. Pull or push the leg extension (I) into the required position (Fig. 6).

6. In-vehicle installation for Age Groups II & III (15-36kg)

Position your kiddy on the vehicle seat as described in Section 4. Place the child in the seat and satisfy yourself that your kiddy has been adjusted according to the child's body size (Section 5). Take the following steps to secure your child with the vehicle’s own 3-point belt: Pull out the vehicle restraint and place the lap belt under both armrests (D) of the seat. Now close the belt buckle. Check to see whether the belt buckle is properly locked in place (Fig. 7). Tighten the lap belt and place the diagonal belt on the side of the belt buckle under the armrests (D) (Fig. 8). ENGTake the diagonal belt and feed it in from the front over the hooks of the red diagonal belt guide (B) on the headrest (Fig. 9). You can also open the hooks by hand by pressing downwards (Fig. 12). Please ensure that the belt guide opposite the belt buckle is used (Fig. 9). Make sure that the diagonal belt lies in the belt guide and is not jammed at the front of the hook (Fig. 10). Make sure that the belts are not twisted and do not run too close to the child’s body. Also check that the belt buckle is correctly positioned. Now pull the belt system tight (Fig. 11). Examine the belt distribution regularly during longer trips.

6.1 Opening the diagonal belt guide

To open the diagonal belt guide (B), push the hook downwards (Fig. 12) and then remove the belt to the front.

7. Removing and replacing the cover

Never use your kiddy without its original cover. The cover forms part of the safety concept.

7.1 Removing the headrest and backrest cover

The headrest and backrest cover are sewn together as a single unit. Slide the adjustable headrest (F) up to the highest position.

ENGFree the cover around the height adjustment handle (K) at the back of the headrest (F) and below both diagonal belt guides (B). Pull the cover off the headrest (F) from the back toward the front.

7.2 Removing the shoulder rest covers

Slide the adjustable headrest (F) down to the lowest position. Unsnap the buttons on the rears of the shoulder rests. Now you can pull the covers off the shoulder rests (G) from the bottom to the top.

7.3 Removing the seat cover

The leg support (I) cover is fastened with a rubber band. You can carefully pull off the cover upwards. In order to take off the seat cover, open the fastener at the bottom of the seat. Then open the press studs or Velcro® fasteners underneath the leg extension (I) and at the bottom of the seat. Remove the retaining belt from the backrest (C) and pull the cover forward from under the two lap belt guides (H). Now the seat cover can be removed.

7.4 Replacing the cover

To replace the cover, follow the steps for removing the cover in reverse order (see Sections 7.1 – 7.3).

ENG8. Instructions for care

8.1 Cleaning the cover

The covers are an essential component of the safety concept. Therefore, you should use only original covers from the manufacturer. If you require replacement covers, you can order them from the manufacturer. The cover and removable retainer strap for the toy figures are machine washable at 30ºC in the delicates cycle. Do not spin or put into the dryer.

8.2 Cleaning plastic parts

The plastic parts can be cleaned with a mild cleanser or with a damp cloth. Never use aggressive cleansing agents (e.g. solvents).

9. Steps to take after an accident

After an accident with an impact speed greater than 10 km/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.
