Frequently Asked Questions - Nania Racer SP Ellermeyer

How to install the car seat with harness (Group 1)?

Place the seat against the rear bench, lower the headrest. Pass the vehicle belt through the openings in the backrest: the lap belt under the armrest, the diagonal belt vertically between the backrest and headrest. Buckle and tighten the belt while pushing the seat. Then, place the child, close the harness buckle (click) and tighten the straps until only one finger can pass between the harness and the child.

How to install the seat without harness (Groups 2-3)?

Remove the harness by taking off the upper and lower straps as well as the crotch strap. Raise the headrest to the maximum, place the seat against the bench. Pass the diagonal belt through the headrest guide. Seat the child, buckle the belt, then lower the headrest so it surrounds the head and guides the belt over the shoulder. Tighten the belt.

How to adjust the harness height?

Remove one upper strap by pivoting its metal stop at the back of the backrest, then pull it through the slots in the shell and cover. Reinsert the strap at the desired height using the same slots and reattach it behind. The stop must be properly in place and the strap not twisted. The harnesses must be at or just above the child's shoulders.

How to adjust the headrest?

The headrest is height adjustable. To lower or raise it, press the side slides or pull upward depending on the model. It should be positioned to surround the child's head and guide the diagonal belt over the shoulder, without overlapping the neck.

How to clean the seat cover?

The cover is removable. Clean light stains with a damp sponge and soapy water. For a deep wash, hand wash at 30°C maximum in soapy water. Do not use bleach, do not iron, do not machine wash, do not tumble dry.

Can I install the seat in the front of the vehicle?

It is recommended to install the car seat in the rear of the vehicle. If you must install it in the front, follow road regulations and deactivate the passenger airbag if necessary. Always prefer rear seats for child safety.

What to do after an accident involving the car seat?

The seat must be replaced if it has been subjected to violent forces during an accident, even without visible damage. The straps and attachments may be weakened. Do not reuse the seat after a violent accident.

How to store the instruction manual?

Keep the manual by storing it in the pocket provided on the seat, or by sliding it between the shell and the seat cover. Always keep it accessible for future reference.

What to do if the diagonal belt is too close to the child's neck?

Adjust the headrest height to guide the belt over the shoulder without touching the neck. If the belt remains poorly positioned, check that the child is sitting back against the backrest. In harness-free configuration, the belt must pass under the armrest opposite the guide and be well tightened.

Can I use the seat without the cover?

No, never use the restraint system without the cover. The cover is an integral part of the safety system. Only replace the cover with one recommended by the manufacturer.

- The hard items and the items in plastic of the child restraint system must be located and installed so that when used normally, they do not get trapped under a movable seat or in the vehicle door.

- Make sure the straps to attach the restraint system to the vehicle are kept tight and adjust the straps that hold in the child. The straps must not be twisted.

- If you have a doubt concerning the installation and correct usage of your seat, please contact the manufacturer of the child restraint system.

- Install your child restraint system on seats categorised as "Universal" in your car manual.

- Do not use weight-bearing contact points other than those described in the instructions and indicated on the restraint system.

Installation with the harness

Gr. 1, from 9 to 18 kg (from approximately 9 months to 4 years)

Make sure that the harness of your car seat is adapted to the height of your child before starting to install the seat in your car.

The harness can be adjusted to three different heights. The straps must pass through the holes that are closest to your child's shoulders. If your child's shoulders are between two levels, always use the higher of the two. To adjust the height of the harness, remove the upper section of one of the harness straps by twisting the metal keeper located behind the backrest (3) and then pulling the end of the harness strap through the slots of the shell and the cover (4). Feed the end of the harness strap through the same slots at the desired height, both in the cover and the shell (5) and reattach it behind the backrest (6). Make sure that the metal anchor is correctly positioned and that the end of the harness strap is not twisted. Repeat the operation on the second strap.

• To tighten the harness: Pull on the adjusting straps positioned on the harness. You do not need to press on the adjuster buttons (7).
• To loosen the harness: Press on the adjuster buttons positioned on the upper section of the harness, grasp the lower section and pull simultaneously (8). Press on the red harness button on the buckle to free your child completely.

Place the car seat against the back seat of the vehicle (9). Lower the headrest as far as possible. Pull on the vehicle seat belt until it is completely loose. Feed both straps of the belt through the openings in the cover and the backrest shell (10) making sure the waist strap passes under the arm rest of the car seat and that the diagonal strap rises vertically between the backrest and the head support without passing through the belt guide. Bring the vehicle belt out through the opposite openings (11). Make sure that the waist strap of the belt passes under the arm rest and that the diagonal strap passes above the arm rest of the car seat. Fasten the vehicle seat belt, making sure that it is not twisted (12). Push the car seat firmly against the back seat of the vehicle and tighten the belt as much as possible by pulling the waist strap and the diagonal strap towards the winder (13). Open the

harness buckle by pressing on the red button in the centre of the buckle. Place your child in the car seat. Put the harness buckle ends together and close the buckle, making sure you hear a 'click' (14). Pull on the adjusting strap of one of the upper harness sections until it is properly tightened against your child (15). Repeat the operation with the adjusting strap of the second upper harness section.

CAUTION: A correctly adjusted harness is essential for your child's protection. There should not be more than a finger's width between the harness and your child.

Installation without the harness

Gr. 2-3, from 15 to 36 kg (from approximately 3 to 12 years)

Ensure that the harness of your car seat has been dismantled before starting to install it in the vehicle.

- Dismantling the harness: Put the harness connectors together and close the buckle in order to assemble the various parts of the harness and the crotch strap. This will enable you to store the harness more easily for future use. Repeat operations (3) and (4) on each upper section of the harness. Remove one of the lower section of the harness by twisting the metal keeper located under the base (16) and then pulling the end of the harness strap through the slots of the base and the cover (17). Repeat the operation on the second lower section. Remove the crotch strap by twisting the metal keeper and by passing it through the slots in the base and the cover (18).

Your car seat is fitted with an adjustable headrest that has been designed to support your child throughout growth by providing maximum side protection.

Raise the adjustable headrest to its highest position. Place the car seat against the back seat of the vehicle (19) and feed the diagonal strap of the belt through the headrest guide (20) (21). Sit your child in the car seat. Make sure that the child's back is fully in contact with the back of the car seat. Pull and fasten the vehicle seat belt. Pass the diagonal strap of the belt under the arm rest opposite the belt guide used. The waist strap of the belt passes under both armrests (22). Lower the adjustable headrest and adjust it to the height of your child (23). It should be positioned so that it surrounds your child's head, providing maximum lateral protection, whilst guiding the diagonal belt over the child's shoulder so that it doesn't extend onto the child's neck (24) (25). Tighten the vehicle seat belt.

Make sure that the seat belt is properly tightened, that it is not twisted and that it is not positioned at the level of your child's neck.

To remove your child from the car seat, simply unbuckle the seat belt and place it at the side of the car seat. The belt will remain suspended from the headrest belt guide (26).

CAUTION: Secure your car seat with the vehicle seat belt at all times, even when your child is not in the car seat. An unsecured car seat can cause injuries in the event of a collision.

Returning to the original configuration of the car seat

Follow the instructions below if you wish to return to the harness configuration. Re-install the crotch strap, making sure that the metal keeper is correctly in place under the seat (27). Re-install one of the lower sections of the harness, making sure that the metal anchor of the lower section is correctly in place under the seat (28). Repeat the operation with the second lower section.

Re-install one of the upper sections of the harness (29). Make sure that the metal anchor of the upper section is correctly in place behind the backrest (30). Repeat the operation with the second upper section. Make sure that neither the upper or the lower sections of the harness are twisted.

Storage of the instruction manual

Store this instruction manual, depending on the model of your vehicle, either in the pouch provided, or by slipping it into between the shell and the cover of the seat (31).

Maintenance advice

All the material parts can be removed. Slight stains can be removed using a damp sponge soaked in soapy water or it can be washed by hand at 30^ in soapy water. Do not use bleach, do not iron, do not machine wash, and do not tumble dry.

WARNING

• This car seat is a “Universal” child restraint system. It has been approved in accordance with regulation N°44/04, and is suitable for general use in vehicles and is compatible with the majority (some exceptions) of vehicle seats.
• It is more likely that the seat is perfectly compatible if the vehicle manufacturer states that its vehicles are suitable for taking “Universal” child restraint systems.
• This restraint system is classified as “Universal” in accordance with the strictest approval criteria, whereas earlier models do not correspond to these new provisions.
• It can only be adapted to vehicles with 3-point safety belts that are either fixed or have a roller mechanism and that have been approved compliant with the UN/ECE N° 16 or other equivalent standards.
• If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or retailer of the restraint system.
