The safety seat is designed for children in the weight group from 0+ to 3, i.e., group 0+ forfrom birth to the body weight of 36 kg (approx. up to 12 years of age). Weight group 0+ for children weighing up to 13 kg. It must be placed in the vehicle in the rearward-facing position and secured by a three-point safety harness. Read the instruction manual of the vehicle manufacturer. Child in the seat is secured using the integrated harness. Weight group 1: 9 kg – 18 kg It may be installed inside the vehicle both as a rear-facing or front-facing seat. When installed as a rear-facing seat, it is fixed using a 3-point safety harness. When installed as a front-facing seat, it is fixed using ISOFIX attachments and top tether strap. Read the44 instruction manual of the vehicle manufacturer. Child in the seat is secured using the integrated harness. Weight group 2: 15 kg - 25 kg Weight group 3: 22 kg - 36 kg In the case of children in weight groups 2 and 3 (15 kg to 36 kg), the safety harness in the car seat must be removed, and the child must be fastened using the 3-point adult safety belt or 3-point adult safety belt with additional ISOFIX attachments, see section 5.5. Read the instruction manual of the vehicle manufacturer.

Please take a few minutes to read this manual to ensure proper safety of the child. Many injuries are caused by reckless and inappropriate use of the seat and they are easy to avoid.

• DO NOT place the child seat in the seats fitted with an active frontal airbag, as it may be dangerous. This does not apply to side airbags.

• In the case of placing the seat on the front seat, turn the airbag off. It is recommended to use the seat in the back seats of the car only. Guidance on the suitability of the vehicle seat for use with a car seat can be found in the instruction manual of the vehicle manufacturer.

• Suitable for installation only in the approved vehicles fitted with three-point safety belts with retractor approved according to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or other equivalent standards.

• Note that any straps attaching the child seat to the vehicle must be tight; the restraint harness must fit the child's body and the belt/harness must not be twisted.

• The seat should be replaced if it has been subjected to violent stresses in an accident.

• The seat must not be subject to any modifications.

• The child safety seat should be protected from direct sunlight, otherwise heated parts can burn your child.

• Never leave your child in the seat unattended.

• It should be noted that any bags and other items must be sufficiently secured, in particular on the parcel shelf, as otherwise in the event of a collision this can lead to injury.

• The seat cannot be used without the cover.

• Do not use replacement covers other than those recommended by the manufacturer, since it is an integral part of the safety seat.

• It is recommended to keep the car seat instruction manual for the entire period of its use.

• Do not use other attaching points than those described in the instruction manual and marked on the child seat.

• All rigid items and plastic parts of the child seat must be located and installed in such a way to avoid, under normal operating conditions of the vehicle, blocking by a sliding seat or vehicle door.

• Regularly check the technical condition of the harness, paying special attention to the fasteners/holders, seams and adjustment elements.

• Discontinue use of the car seat if its parts are damaged or loosened.45

• In case of an emergency, it is important to quickly unfasten the seat belts. This means that the harness release button is not fully secured; make sure that your child does not play with the buckle.

• The back of the seat must rest against the back of the car seat. Please make sure that the headrest does not create an unwanted space between the car seat backrest and back seat of the vehicle. Some car headrests may prevent proper installation of the car seat so they must be disassembled first.

• Make sure that the belt is properly placed in the guides. The safety belt buckle must be below the belt guide of the child safety seat (the buckle must not be in contact with the guide). If in doubt about this issue, contact the child seat manufacturer.

• You should give your child a good example and always fasten your belts. An adult with unfastened safety belts may also be a threat to the child.

• Before each trip by car, make sure that the seat is properly secured.

• The car seat must be protected even when not in use. Unattached seat can cause injuries to passengers even during emergency braking.

4. Securing your child

The cushion improves comfort and provides additional support for very small children. We recommend using the cushion (Fig. 4.1a) until the child reaches the weight of 13 kg. We recommend using the additional insert (Fig. 4.1b) until the child reaches the weight of 9 kg.

Pull the adjustment belt of the headrest, lift or push-in the headrest to adjust its height (Fig. 4.2a, 4.2b). The headrest may be adjusted in 10 different heights.

• In case of weight group 1, set the proper shoulder strap height to make the strap entering the car seat backrest just above the child's shoulders or equally with their height. Ensure that the shoulder straps fit well to the child's shoulders.

• For weight groups 2 and 3, the shoulder belt should be positioned between the shoulder and the neck of the child. The headrest should fit well to the child's head.

4.3 Backrest tilt adjustment mechanism (Fig. 4.3a, 4.3b).

The tilt of the safety seat can be adjusted with the lever (F). Pull the lever, and then slide the seat. Release the lever in the desired position. Move the seat slightly until you hear a clearly audible “click” − the seat is secured in position. In groups 0+ and 1 (up to 18kg) with the rear-facing seat, use position "4". In group 1 (9kg-18kg) with the front-facing seat, you may positions "1" to "3". In groups II and III (15kg -36kg) with the front-facing seat, use position "1".

4.4 Securing your child with the harness.

• Loosen the harness straps by pressing the button (E) and pulling the harness. Remember! Do not pull the shoulder pads. Unlock the buckle (Fig. 4.4a).

• Place harness straps on the sides of the seat (Fig. 4.4b). Place your child in the seat (Fig. 4.4c).

• Adjust the headrest to the child's height (see section 4.2).46

• Join two buckle latches to engage them and insert them into the buckle (D) until you hear a “click” (fig. 4.4d).

4.5 Tightening the harness (Fig. 4.5)

• Pull the shoulder straps to eliminate play in the hip strap so that the harness lies flat.

• Pull the harness with the harness adjustment strap, until the harness lies flat and close to the child's body. Ensure that the shoulder straps fit well to the child's shoulders. Proper tension is ensured, if you can insert one finger (approx. 1 cm) between the shoulder strap and the chest of the child. NOTE The harnesses lap straps must be placed as low as possible on the child's hips. Make sure that the harness straps are not twisted.

5. Installation in the vehicle

In case of sudden braking or an accident, persons not using seat belts can cause damage to other passengers. Always check the following:

• The seat backrests are locked in the vehicle (i.e., foldable back seat is locked).

• All heavy objects and sharp edges are secured (e.g., on the rear parcel shelf).

• All passengers fastened their seat belts.

• The safety seat is always protected, even if the child is not in it. Vehicle security Seat covers in some vehicles can be made of soft materials so the safety seat may leave some traces. They can be avoided by placing a blanket or towel under the safety seat.
