child safety seat may be damaged without the damage becoming immediately
visible. In this case the child safety seat must be replaced. Please dispose of
it properly .
• As a rule, have your child safety seat checked if it was damaged (e.g if it falls
on the ground).

parts, in particular , are fully functional.

Never leave your child unattended in the child seat in the vehicle.
• Only allow your child to enter and exit the vehicle on the pavement side.
• Protect the child safety seat from int ensive direct sunlight when it is not in use.
The child safety seat can get very hot in direct sunshine. Child skin is sensitive
and could thereby be harmed.
•
The more snugly the belt fits over your child's body, the better they will be
protected. Ther efore avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• T ake regular breaks on long journeys in order to give your child the
opportunity to play around.

may cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check that...

secured.

heavy objects on the seat and do not store it directly next t o sources of heat or

CAUTION! T o protect your vehicle:
•
Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour , leather,
