• Please read the instructions for use thoroughly before using the JANÉ-CONCORD TRANSFORMER and keep them carefully for later reference. If you do not follow the instructions listed in this manual the child’s safety may be at risk! Please also note the instructions in the car’s operating manual for transporting children in a car. _ THANK YOU! _INFORMATION IM 2193.01 TRANSFORMER_iPLUS int.indd 22 18/6/21 17:2823

• Do not leave your child unattended.

• Children sometimes have items in their jacket or trouser pockets (e.g. toy) or wear hard items that are attached to their clothes (e.g. belt buckle). Make sure that these items do not get between the child and the safety belt – they could cause unnecessary injuries in the event of an accident. These hazards also apply to adults!

• Naturally children can often be very lively. You should therefore explain to children how important it is to always be safely fastened in. Children must understand that they should never change the way the belts are positioned, and never open the buckle.

• Only if safety equipment is correctly installed and used can your child enjoy maximum safety.

• Not all child restraint system are exactly the same, therefore we advise you to test your TRANSFORMER in the vehicle in which it is going to be installed.

• Any alteration or addition made to the device without explicit authorisation from JANÉ-CONCORDmay seriously affect the safety of the restraint system.

• Read these instructions carefully before use and keep them for future reference. The child’s safety may be affected if you do not follow these instructions. For the child to travel safely in the car you also need to check the relevant points of the vehicle instruction manual.

• This safety device must not be used without its cover, and the cover must not be IM 2193.01 TRANSFORMER_iPLUS int.indd 23 18/6/21 17:2824

replaced with one that is not the original, as it is an integral part of the system’s safety features.

• Never add a mattress, pillow or extra padding to make the child more comfortable as this would alter the safety features of the system.

• The system straps must be fitted tautly and without twists and must be protected against damage.

• Protect those parts of the TRANSFORMER that are not covered in fabric from direct sunlight to avoid your child being burned.

• It is very important not to use second hand products, because JANÉ-CONCORD can only guarantee complete safety for articles used by the original buyer.

• These instructions must be followed carefully for the correct use of the restraint system; failure to do so may put the child’s safety at risk.

• The child restraint system must not be damaged or trapped by moving parts in the car or by doors.

• Never modify the TRANSFORMER in any way – this will endanger your child’s safety.

• After an accident the TRANSFORMER must be replaced or returned to the manufacturer for testing, along with a report of the accident.

• You should also tell your passenger how to remove the child in the event of an accident or danger.

• Do not leave your child in the child car seat unsupervised whether strapped in or not. IM 2193.01 TRANSFORMER_iPLUS int.indd 24 18/6/21 17:2825

• Secure any luggage or other objects to reduce the risk of injuries in the event of an accident.

• The instruction manual should always be kept with the safety seat.

• The use of accessories and replacement parts is not permissible and shall lead, in the event of contravention, to the expiry of all claims under the warranty and of all liability claims. Only special JANÉ-CONCORD original accessories are excluded.

• Suitable for cars with three-point (lap and diagonal) seat belts tested in accordance with ECE Regulation 16 or a comparable standard.

• WARNING: Make sure you are aware of the road traffic legislation of the country in which you are driving. The use of your child restraint system may be restricted. The buckle of the vehicle safety belt must not come above the edge of the lap belt guide. If in doubt or if you are still uncertain, please contact JANÉ-CONCORD. The belts may only be routed via the points of contact and the positions on the seat stated in the user instructions. Belts must not be routed in any other way. If the car seat used has a front airbag, we recommend positioning the car seat as far back as possible. For cars with front and side airbags, the instructions in the car’s operating manual must also be observed. The car’s shoulder/diagonal belt must pass forwards from the vehicle bracket to the shoulder belt guide (07). Adjust the car seat position if necessary.

You have decided to purchase our TRANSFORMER seat for the safety of your child. This product is manufactured under strict quality controls. It can only effectuate its maximum safety properties if it is used properly. The upholstery is an important part and it affects the seat as a whole, therefore the car seat must only be used with the original cover! You should therefore ensure that you follow the instructions for fitting and use carefully. The seat may be used on any seat in your car that is fitted with a three-point seat belt. Statistics suggest that the place behind the passenger seat is the safest in the car. IM 2193.01 TRANSFORMER_iPLUS int.indd 26 18/6/21 17:2827

Place the TRANSFORMER on the car seat or bench seat, facing in the direction of travel. The TRANSFORMER should lie flush with the seat. In cars with standard headrests, these may be adjusted or removed to make it easier to install the child car seat. 1.a Please note that the car headrests must be replaced and re-positioned correctly when an adult is travelling in the car. 1.b The TRANSFORMER must always be secured using the safety belt, also without a child. When driving, or in the event of an accident, the occupants of the vehicle may be injured. IM 2193.01 TRANSFORMER_iPLUS int.indd 27 18/6/21 17:2828

The TRANSFORMER with JANÉ-CONCORD TWINFIX system has been authorised for use as a booster seat with backrest for specific vehicles and is ideal for installation on seats of certain vehicles. Please refer to the additional “CAR FITTING LIST” leaflet for an overview of cars and vehicle seats compatible with the JANÉ-CONCORD TWINFIX system at the time your child seat was manufactured. For a continuously updated version, please visit www.janeworld.com _ SECURING THE CHILD WITH THE THREE-POINT BELT Seat your child well back in the seating area.

Pass the lap belt across both sides and the diagonal belt on the side of the seat belt lock through the lap belt guide (03). Finally, pass the diagonal belt through the provided shoulder belt guide (07). IM 2193.01 TRANSFORMER_iPLUS int.indd 30 18/6/21 17:2831

The TRANSFORMER can be continuously adjusted to the right size and is locked into the current position when the adjustment button (05) is released. 4.c The shoulder belt guide (07) should be slightly above the top of the child‘s shoulder. At the same time, the shoulder belt should pass centrally between the child‘s neck and the outer edge of the shoulder. Pull the belt taut so that the lap belt and diagonal belt are well positioned and ensure that the belts are not twisted. The lap belt should be in the lowest possible position. If your vehicle is fitted with a seat belt height adjuster, adjust its height accordingly. When you wish to release the child from the seat, all you need to do is open the lock and pass the strap back across the child. To remove the shoulder belt from the guide, press the shoulder belt locking button (06) and pull the belt forwards and out. IM 2193.01 TRANSFORMER_iPLUS int.indd 31 18/6/21 17:2832

The seat belts must go through the belt guides marked in green on the safety seat. The belts must not be used in any other position.
