them to hand in the designated compartment 10 in the infant carrier at all
times! The instructions must be kept with the child safety seat if the latter
is passed on to a third party .
DANGER! F or the protection of your child:
• In the event of an accident with a collision speed of more than 10 km/h, the infant
carrier may be damaged without the damage becoming immediately visible. In this
case the infant carrier must be replaced. Please dispose of it properly .
• As a rule, have your infant carrier checked if it was damaged (e.g if it falls on the
ground).
• Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure that all mechanical parts,
inparticular , are fully functional.
• Never lubricate or oil parts of the infant carrier .
• Never leave your baby unattended in the infant carrier in the vehicle.
• Always secure your baby in the infant carrier using the seat belt.
• Never leave your baby unattended in the infant carrier on raised surfaces (e.g.
changing unit, table, sofa).
• Protect the infant carrier fr om intensive direct sunlight (e.g. cover with a lightweight
cloth) when it is not in use. The infant carrier can get very hot 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 protect-
ed. Therefore, avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• The infant carrier is not intended to hold your baby for long periods of time. The
semi-recumbent position in the infant carrier will always put a str ain on your baby's
spine. T ake 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 folda-
ble rear seat bench).
• Never try to secure a baby on your lap with the vehicle seat belt or by holding onto
them.
DANGER! F or the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecur ed persons or objects may
cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check that...
• all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf ) are secured.
• all persons in the vehicle have their seatbelts fastened.
• the infant carrier is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even if no child is being
transport ed.
WARNING! F or your protection when handling the child seat:
• T o avoid damage, ensure that the infant carrier is not jammed in between hard
objects (car door , seat rails, etc.).
• Make sure that the bottom end of the belt does not get stuck anywhere (e.g. in
doors, escalators, etc.) as this could cause the infant carrier to fall.
• Keep the infant carrier in a safe place when it is not in use. Do not place any heavy
objects on the seat and do not store it dir ectly next to sources of heat or in dir ect
sunlight.
CAUTION! T o protect your vehicle:
• Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour , leather ,
