please note the instructions in the car's operating manual for transporting children
in a car. information on the use of child seats together with an airbag should be
observed with particular care.
• Children sometimes have items in their jacket or trouser pockets (e.g. toy) or
wear hard items that are attached to their clothes (e.g. belt buckle). check
that these items do not get between the child and the safety belt – they could
cause unnecessary injuries in the event of an accident. these hazards also
apply to adults!
• Naturally children can often be very lively. you should therefore explain to
children how important it is to always be safely fastened in. children must
understand that they should never change the way the belts are positioned,
and never open the buckle.
• Only if safety equipment is correctly installed and used can your child enjoy
maximum safety. all straps in the child restraint system and all belts required for
securing the seat in the car must be fitted tautly and without twists, and must
be protected against damage.
• Protect those parts of the restraint system that are not covered in fabric from
direct sunlight to avoid your child being burned.
• The child restraint system must not be damaged or trapped by moving parts in
the car interior or by doors.
• Never modify the restraint system in any way – this will endanger your child's
safety. after an accident the whole child restraint system must be replaced or
returned to the manufacturer for testing along with a report of the accident.
• you should also tell your passenger how to remove the child in the event of an
accident or danger.
• The belts may only be routed via the points of contact for the belt on the seat
and the positions stated in the user instructions. belts must not be routed in any
other way. the buckle for the vehicle safety belt must not come above the edge
of the lap belt guide. if in doubt, please contact concord.
• The lap belts on the harness system must be fitted as low down as possible so
that the child's hips are held correctly.
• The child seat may not be used in conjunction with active front airbags
(risk of death)! if a side airbag is present, please observe the
information in the vehicle manual!

• Do not leave your child in the child car seat unsupervised whether strapped in
or not.
• Secure luggage and other items to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accident.
• The user instructions must always accompany the child car seat.
• The use of accessories and replacement parts is not permissible and shall lead
in the event of contravention, to the expiry of all claims under the warranty and
of all liability claims. only special concord original accessories are excluded.
the child car seat must always be used with its original covers.
Suitable for cars with three-point (lap and diagonal) seat belts tested in
accordance with ece regulation 16 or a comparable standard.
• As the period of use for this restraint system is very long, it is natural that seat
covers and other used parts will each receive different degrees of wear and
tear depending on the individual duration and intensity of use and will need
to be replaced. for this reason it is not possible to give a blanket warranty of
durability extending beyond a six-month warranty period.
• For additional purchases, please contact your local specialist child and baby
shop, specialist departments in department stores, car accessories centre
or mail order companies. there you will also be able to buy the full range of
accessories for concord child's car seats.
• The CONCORD ION child car seat has been tested in a simulated head-on
crash at an impact speed of 50 km/h against a solid obstacle. this complies
with the international test standard ece r 44 04 which forms the basis for
all tested restraint systems. if used according to legal requirements, and given
adherence to the instructions for installation and use, this device should prevent
or reduce injury to children with a body weight of up to 13 kg in the event of an
accident, depending on the type and severity of accident.
• As is the case with the use of safety belts for adults, a child safety device does
not replace the need for responsible and prudent driving behaviour.
