In order to secure your baby completely in the kiddy maxi pro seat, this is fitted in the head support area with the new material.

4 2. General safety instructions Read through the directions for use carefully before fitting the kiddy maxi pro seat for the first time. Incorrect use can be life-threatening for your child. Many injuries are caused by carelessness and are easily avoidable. It is forbidden to make any changes whatsoever to the child restraint systems. The protective effect can be lost or restricted. If you experience difficulties please contact your specialist dealer or the manufacturer directly. Before each journey check the parts of the seat pan. Above all the belt system has to be regularly checked for wear and tear and possible damage. Do not carry out any settings during the journey. Fit the seat pan in the opposite direction to which you are driving (always with the back in the driving direction). Please observe the notes in the vehicle manual, in which the seat pan is to be fitted. Cf. chapter 4.1. Make sure that all parts are always locked in place correctly. Set the adjustable back rest of your car seat so that it has contact to the carrying frame of the seat pan. Make sure that no parts of the seat pan are penned into the doors or adjustable seats. With vans and caravans make sure that in the case of a rescue operation by a third party the seat pan is preferably on a seat that is easily accessible. 4

5 Only use the seat pan for the weight category specified - up to a maximum of 13kg. Cf. chapter 1. Never use the seat pan without the original cover. It is part of the safety concept. Never use the seat pan as a shopping aid or other carrying aid. Never leave your baby unattended in the seat pan, especially not when you put the seat pan on raised surfaces (baby changing unit, table etc.). Do not place any heavy objects on the rear shelf. This could be dangerous in the event of an accident. If you drive with the seat in the car without a child, always secure it with the safety belt. Protect the seat pan from direct sun light as it could heat up and cause discomfort. Allow your baby breaks during longer journeys and see that you take the baby out of the seat during these breaks to relieve the spine. Ensure that the seat pan has been fitted in the vehicle according to these instructions. Never use the seat pan without having the child car seat s own 5-point belt system locked and the belt tightened. This also applies to use outside the vehicle. Do not continue to use the seat shell if parts have been damaged or loosened after an accident (accident speed great then 10 km/h) or through other effects. 5

6 3. General use Please read these directions carefully before using the seat shell kiddy maxi pro for the first time. Always keep the directions for use in the box provided underneath the seat pan. This way it is always there if you encounter problems. 3.1 Functions of the carrying frame The carrying frame of your seat shell kiddy maxi pro can be locked in place in 4 places.

Fig.5 Make sure you never position the seat shell on sloping ground and avoid putting it down on raised items (table, baby changing unit, etc.) 3.2 Functions of the sun canopy The sun canopy can be opened to protect against direct sunlight. Turn the sun canopy frame forwards until it locks in place (fig. 6). If the sun canopy is not needed, it can be fixed using the spring mounted clamp under the pan rim (fig. 7). Fold the material folding top under the pan rim and secure it. Below are instructions on how to dismantle or assemble the sun canopy: 1. Loosen both mounting clips (fig. 6/no. 1) and both press studs (fig. 6/no. 2) from the pan rim or the pan cover. Fig.6 7

Only use the seat pan on seats that have a 3-point vehicle belt. 4.2 Fitting stages We recommend using the seat pan on the rear bench seat in cars. In vans the seat pan should be mounted on the seat that has the easiest access in the event of a rescue operation. After looking through the vehicle manual as well as selecting the appropriate seat, the seat pan can be fitted in the vehicle as described in the following section. Position the seat pan backwards facing the vehicle seat and turn the carrying frame in the position of drive operation (fig. 9). Fig.9 Direct the lap belt of the vehicle s own 3- point belt systems through both lap belt guides on the seat pan and let the belt tongue lock in place. You will hear a clicking noise (fig. 10). Check that this is locked in place by pulling on the belt. Fig.10 9

Fig.11 Tighten the vehicle's own 3-point belt by heftily pulling on the shoulder belt (fig. 12). Fig.12 Some vehicles have so-called retractor locks. The automatic roll-up of the vehicle s own belt system can be disabled. A more permanent fitting of the seat pan is possible. Read your vehicle manual or consult your authorised repair shop. 5. Securing the baby into the seat 5.1 Height adjustment of 5-point belt system and head support The kiddy maxi pro has a 5-point belt system, which guarantees optimal protection for your baby in the seat pan.
