• Please read this user manual carefully before using the

• Never leave your child unattended.
• Children often carry small objects (e.g. toys) in jacket or pants pockets,
and may also wear clothes with rigid components (e.g. belt buckle).
Make sure that these are not clamped between the child and the harness,
as this might cause unneccessary injuries in case of an accident.
The same hazards apply for adults as well!
• Naturally, kids are often lively. Make sure to explain the importance of
safety when in a vehicle. Your child will then understand that the harness
lock should not be opened or the harness moved, giving you more peace
of mind.
• Your child's safety can only be guaranteed if the safety system is attached
and used in accordance with the instruction manual.
• The system's harness straps must be worn taut and without any twists,
and must be protected against any damage.
• Protect any parts of the CONCORD ABSORBER not covered with fabric
against direct sunlight to prevent your child from suffering burns.
• The child restraint system must not be damaged or crushed by moving
parts in the vehicle or by the vehicle doors.
• Do not attempt any modifications on the CONCORD ABSORBER, as
these might infringe on your child's safety.
• After an accident, the CONCORD ABSORBER must be replaced or sent
to the manufacturer for testing, along with an accident report.
• Make sure to instruct your passenger on how to remove the child from its
safety seat in case of accident or danger.
• Never leave your child unsupervised in the car seat - whether harnessed or
not.

• Make sure to secure any luggage and loose items in the passenger cabin
to reduce the risk of injury in case of an accident.
• The manual must always be carried with the child safety seat.
• The use of any accessories or replacement parts is prohibited, and
non-compliance will result in a lapse of all warranty and liability claims.
Excepted are original accessories by CONCORD only.
• Suitable for vehicles with lap and diagonal seat belt, which have been
approved in compliance with ECE regulation 16 or similar standard.
Due to prolonged use of the CONCORD ABSORBER, seat covers and
other parts will wear depending on duration and intensity of use to varying
degrees, and will have to be replaced. We can therefore not provide any
blanket warranty beyond 6 months for wear parts.
Please contact your specialist shop for baby and children's products, the
relevant department in department stores, your car accessory specialist
shop or the catalog company, where you originally purchased the
CONCORD ABSORBER for replacement parts. These will have a complete
product portfolio for CONCORD child seat accessories to choose from.
The vehicle's seat belt lock must not be placed over the edge of the lap
harness belt guide. If in doubt or in case of difficulties with our product,
please contact CONCORD directly. The vehicle's seat belts must be placed
at the positions and contact points on the safety seat as shown in the user
manual. Any other seat belt placement is prohibited.
If the seat selected for mounting the child seat is equipped with an airbag,
we recommend moving the seat as far back as possible. The seat's lap and
diagonal seat belt must be run forward to the shoulder harness guide (13) of
the child seat. Adjust the vehicle's seat position where required.
For vehicles with front and lateral airbags, read the relevant instructions
provided in the vehicle manual.
