CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Care for the harness buckle
It is vital for the safety of your child that the harness buckle works correctly.
Malfunctions of the harness buckle are usually caused by accumulations of dirt
or foreign bodies:
• The buckle latches are ejected only slowly when the red release button is
pressed.
• The buckle latches will no longer lock home (i.e. they are ejected again if you
try to push them in).
• The buckle latches engage without an audible „click".
• The buckle latches are difficult to insert (you feel resistance).
• The buckle only opens if extreme force is applied.
Remedy
wash out the harness buckle so that it functions properly once again:

For this child safety seat we offer a 2-year warranty against manufacturing or

The warranty covers only child safety seats which have been handled properly
and which have been sent to us in a clean and proper condition.

What is covered by the warranty?
Fabrics: All of our fabrics meet very high requirements with regard to colour
fastness when exposed to UV radiation. Nevertheless, all fabrics fade when
exposed to UV radiation. This is not a material defect, but rather a normal sign
of wear which is not covered by the warranty.

bodies which may stop the buckle from working properly. If this happens, the
buckle can be cleaned, olease follow the procedure described in your user
instructions.

she will give you the advice and support you need. When processing claims,
