EXO Your new EXO from JANÉ is a seat designed to protect the child in the car from approximately 9 months (from 9 Kg. in weight) up to approximately 4 years old (18 Kg. in weight).

EXO has passed the safety requirements covered by the European directive ECE 44/04 for group 1. EXO is compatible with the majority of vehicle seats. When the vehicle manufacturer has stated that the seats are prepared for the installation of “Universal” type seats, there is complete compatibility. It is very important to read these instructions carefully before using the EXO seat for the first time. Make sure that everyone who is going to use the seat at any time is also familiar with the instructions for correct installation and use.
