• The restraint system should be fixed in the vehicle when not in use with a child, for safety in the event
of heavy braking.
• Keep all straps used to attach the restraint system to the vehicle taut, and adjust the straps used to
restrain the child. It is also important that the the straps are not twisted.
• Ensure that the belt is positioned as low as possible, to support your child's pelvis.
• Replace the device when it has been subjected to violent stresses in an accident.
• It is dangerous to modify or add to the device in any way without approval of the competent authority. It is also
imperative to follow meticulously the instructions provided by the manufacturer concerning installation of the child
restraint device.
• Keep the seat sheltered from sunlight, so that the child cannot get burned.
• Do not leave children unsupervised while in a child restraint device.
• Make sure that luggage and other objects likely to cause injuries to the occupant of the seat if impact occurs are
firmly secured.
• Do not use the child restraint device without the seat cover.
• Do not replace the seat cover with a cover other than the one recommended by the manufacturer, as it directly
influences the behaviour of the restraint device.
• Do not use load-bearing contact points other than those described in the instructions and marked on the restraint
system.
• Always give preference to rear seats, even if the highway code allows installation at the front.
• In winter take care not to secure the child in with clothes that are too bulky.
• If you are in any doubt about installation and proper use of your seat, please contact the manufacturer of the child
restraint device.
• Check that rigid items and plastic parts of the child car seat are located and installed so that they are not liable,
during everyday use of the vehicle, to become trapped by a movable seat or in a door of the vehicle.
