We wish you and your loved ones much fun and pleasure with your new Taga. If you have any concerns, questions or comments about your Taga or how to use it, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Î Î Taga is intended for use with children from 6 months old and up to a weight of 35kg / 77lbs (approx 8 years old) in the rear seat and 22Kg / 48lbs in the front seat. Using the Taga car seat adapter enables you to carry children ages 3-12 months.
