Important

• Make yourself familiar with these instructions and look carefully at the illustrations in the manual. The Maxi-Cosi Citi offers
maximum protection only if it is used in accordance with the instructions.
• For the safety of your child it is of crucial importance that the seat belt is threaded through the three bright blue belt hooks of
the seat in the correct manner. See fig.H-5. or the sticker on the side of the Maxi-Cosi Citi.
• The Maxi-Cosi Citi is approved in accordance with the most stringent European safety standards (ECE R44/03) and is suitable
for children from 0 - 13 kg (from birth to approximately 15 months old).
• The Maxi-Cosi Citi may be used on the front or rear passenger seat, but always in a rearward facing position. 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. When using the Maxi-Cosi Citi on a collapsible rear seat, the rear seat must always be locked.
• The Maxi-Cosi Citi must only be used on a forward facing seat fitted with an automatic or static 3-point seat belt, which is
approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.
• Before purchasing the seat we recommend you check that it is compatible for use with the seat belt system in your car.
• A baby can be very active. Do not be caught unawares by unexpected movements, and ALWAYS secure your baby with the
harness belt, also when using the Maxi-Cosi Citi out of the car. Do not allow yourself to be distracted by your child while dri-
ving.
• The safety of the seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer when used by the original owner.
• We strongly advise you not to use a second-hand product, as you are never sure if the seat has been involved in an accident
or whether it has been otherwise damaged.
• After an accident your Maxi-Cosi Citi should be replaced. Although it may appear undamaged, if you were to have another
accident it would not protect your child as well as it should.
• It is advisable not to use car safety seats longer than 5 years after the date of purchase. Due to the ageing process of the
plastic for instance, the qualities of the product may have unnoticeably deteriorated.
• Warning: Do not place the Maxi-Cosi Citi on high surfaces, such as tables, worktops, beds, etc., due to the "risk of falling".
• Under no circumstances may the moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi Citi be oiled or greased.
• Ensure that all luggage /objects, on the parcel shelf for instance, likely to cause injury in the event of an accident are properly
secured.
• Warning: Always return the instruction manual to the storage compartment at the back of the seat for future reference.
• Warning: Never leave your child unattended in the seat, either in or out of the car.
Other Instructions
