Take the time to carefully read through these instructions, and always keep them ready to hand in the designated pocket on the child seat.
For the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, persons or objects which are not properly secured in the car can cause injury to other vehicle
occupants. For this reason, please always check that...
• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked (e.g. that the latch on a folding rear seat bench is engaged).
• all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf) are secured.
• all persons in the vehicle have their seatbelts fastened.
• the child safety seat is always secured in the car via the ISOFIX anchoring, even when there is no child in the seat.
For the protection of your child :
• The more snugly the harness fits over your child's body, the safer your child will be.
• Please do not ever leave your child unattended in the child safety seat in the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Preparatory work
01
02
1. If your vehicle is not equipped with the ISOFIX insert guides as
standard, clip the two insert guides
which are included with the
02
seat* with the cut-out facing upwards onto the two ISOFIX attach-
ment points
of your vehicle.
01
TIP: The ISOFIX attachment points are located between the surface
and the backrest of the vehicle seat.
2. Move the head restraint on the vehicle seat to the upper position.
* The insert guides make it easier to install the child safety seat with the aid of the ISOFIX
attachment points and prevent damage to the seat covering. When not in use, they should
be removed and stored in a safe place. On vehicles with a folding backrest the insert
guides must be removed before the backrest is folded.
Any problems which occur are usually caused by dirt or foreign objects on the insert gui-
des and on the hooks. Clean off any dirt or foreign objects to remedy this type of problem.

• Use on the rear seat:
Move the front seat forward far enough that your child's feet cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (to prevent risk of injury).
• The child safety seat can get hot in direct sunshine. Caution: Children's skin is delicate and could be injured as a result. Protect the child
seat against intensive direct sunlight when it is not currently in use.
• Only allow your child to enter and exit the vehicle on the pavement side.
• Make stops during longer journeys to give your child an opportunity to run about and play.
To protect your vehicle:
Some vehicle seat coverings made of more delicate materials (e.g. velour, leather, etc.) may develop wear marks when child seats
are used. For optimum protection of your seat covers, we recommend using the BRITAX RÖMER Car Seat Protector, which is
available from our range of accessories.
