Important
• WARNING: Read this instruction manual carefully.
• WARNING: The correct fitting of the seat belt, along the red marking between the shell and
the base of the seat, is of vital importance for the safety of your child. See figure B2 or the
sticker on the side of the Maxi-Cosi Priori.
• WARNING: For the future use of the seat, it is important that you store the instruction manual
in the space provided on the back of the Maxi-Cosi Priori.
• WARNING: Never leave your child unattended in the car.
• WARNING: Do not use a child safety seat if the vehicle is equipped with a front airbag. This
can be dangerous. This does not apply to so-called side airbags.
• Before use study the illustrations in this instruction manual carefully; the Maxi-Cosi Priori is a
safety product and is only safe when used in accordance with the instruction manual.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori must only be used on a forward facing seat that is fitted with an auto-
matic 3-point safety belt or static 2-point safety belt (see figure B and C), which is approved
according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori may be used on either the front or the back seat. However, we
recommend that it is fitted on the back seat.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori has been approved according to the strictest European safety standards
(ECE R44/03) and is suitable for children weighing 9 to 18 kg (approx. age 9 months to 4
years).
• After an accident the seat may become unsafe due to damage that is not immediately
noticeable. It should therefore be replaced.
• The safety of the seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer if it is used by the original
owner.
• We strongly advise you not to use a second-hand product, as you can never be sure what has
happened to it.
• The belt pads are important for the safety of your child, therefore use them at all times.
• Ensure that all luggage and objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident are
properly secured.
• It is recommended that the Maxi-Cosi Priori should not be used longer than 5 years after the
date of purchase. The properties of the product may deteriorate due to, for example, ageing of
the plastic and this may not be visible.
• The moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi Priori should not be lubricated in any way.
Other instructions
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori must not be used without the cover. Always use an original Maxi-Cosi
Priori cover, as the cover contributes to the safety of the seat.
• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt, even when not in use. An unsecured seat
may injure other passengers in the car in the event of an emergency stop.
• Ensure that the seat is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage,
adjustable seats or slamming the car door etc.
• No alterations may be made to the Maxi-Cosi Priori as this could affect part or the overall safety
of the seat.
• In hot weather the plastic and metal parts of the Maxi-Cosi Priori may feel hot to the touch.
You should therefore cover the seat if the car is parked in the sun.
• In order to prevent damage to the cover, do not remove the Maxi-Cosi Priori logo.
• Use the seat even on short journeys as this is when most accidents occur.
