SAFETY NOTES

⚠️ Please take the time to read these instructions carefully and keep them to hand in the designated storage compartment 13 on the base station at all times! The instructions must be kept with the base station if the latter is passed on to a third party.

DANGER! For the protection of your child:

- In the event of an accident with a collision speed of more than 10 km/h, the base station may be damaged without the damage becoming immediately visible. In this case the base station must be replaced. Please dispose of it properly.

- As a rule, have your base station checked if it was damaged

(e.g if it falls on the ground).

- Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure that all me-

chanical parts, in particular, are fully functional.

- Never lubricate or oil parts of the base station.

- Never leave your child unattended in the infant carrier and base station

in the vehicle.

- Park in such a way that you can always stand on the pavement when

you place the infant carrier in the vehicle or take it out.

- Protect the infant carrier and the base station from intensive direct

sunlight when they are not in use. The infant carrier can get very ho

in direct sunlight. Children's skin is sensitive and could be harmed.

- The more snugly the belt fits over your child's body, the better they will

be protected. Therefore, avoid putting thick clothes on your child under

the belt.

- The installation and warning stickers are an important part of the

base station and must not be removed.

• The infant carrier is not intended to hold your baby for prolonged

periods of time. The semi-recumbent position in the infant carrier will

always put a strain on your baby's spine. Take your baby out of the

infant carrier as often as possible – this includes interrupting long car

rides. Do not keep your baby in the infant carrier once it has been

removed from the car.

- Lock the backrests of the vehicle seats (for example, engage the

latch on the foldable rear seat bench).

- Never try to secure a baby on your lap with the vehicle seat belt

or by holding onto them

rear seat bench latch is engaged).

- all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel

- all persons in the vehicle have their exhausts fastened. - the child safety seat is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even

WARNING! For your protection when handling the child seat:

• To avoid damage, ensure that the base station is not jammed in be-
