Frequently Asked Questions - Fox Osann

How do I correctly install the Osann Fox ISOFIX base?

Place the base on the vehicle seat, then pull the ISOFIX connector adjuster fully out and engage the connectors into the vehicle anchors (generally located between the backrest and the seat). A click and a green indicator on each connector confirm a secure fit. Then press the base against the seat while gently pulling the ISOFIX adjuster again. Finally, adjust the support leg until it touches the floor: a green indicator confirms correct positioning.

Can the Osann Fox be installed forward-facing from birth?

No. The Osann Fox must be installed rear-facing for groups 0+ (0-13 kg) and 1 (9-18 kg). Forward-facing installation is only permitted in group 1, and only from 9 kg. Never use the Fox forward-facing before the child reaches 9 kg.

What weight groups does the Osann Fox cover?

The Osann Fox covers two groups: group 0+ from 0 to 13 kg (newborns and infants) and group 1 from 9 to 18 kg (approximately 9 months to 3-4 years). It is not suitable for children exceeding 18 kg. A dedicated padded insert for group 0+ is included for newborns.

How do I adjust the harness on the Osann Fox?

Start by adjusting the headrest (8 positions) so that the harness sits at the correct shoulder height: harness height adjusts automatically with the headrest. To loosen, press the central harness adjustment button and pull the chest section of the harness. Once the child is seated, tighten by pulling the harness adjustment strap. Straps should be snug but not too tight, and must never be twisted.

How do I clean and maintain the Osann Fox cover?

Remove the cover by unfastening the Velcro on the backrest and opening the zips on the headrest. Wash by hand in water at approximately 30°C only. Do not use fabric conditioner, do not tumble dry, and do not iron. Clean the plastic parts with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly.

Is the Osann Fox compatible with all vehicles?

The Fox is semi-universal. It installs on vehicles and ISOFIX-approved seat positions listed in the compatibility guide included in the packaging. Other seat positions may also be suitable. If in doubt, consult the list or contact Osann directly. Important: never install the seat on a position fitted with a front airbag without deactivating it first.

What should I do if the Osann Fox has been in an accident?

After any accident, even without visible damage, the seat must be replaced. Its safety cannot be guaranteed after an impact, even if no deformation is visible. For the same reason, never use a second-hand Osann Fox: safety is only guaranteed for the original buyer.

How do I switch the Osann Fox from rear-facing to forward-facing?

Release the locking system by holding the red locking button down while pressing the seat release button, then lift the seat off the base. Turn the seat around and reposition it forward-facing, aligning the rods on the underside with the anchor points on the base. Press the red locking button until it clicks: the FOX anchor indicator turns green. This switch is only permitted from 9 kg.
