Safety Instructions - Kinderkraft I-GUARD Manual De Instrucciones

3.0 Safety instructions

Please take a few minutes to read this user manual to ensure your child's safety. Many
avoidable injuries are caused by reckless and improper use of the seat.
NOTE: It is always good to have the manual within reach. We advise you to keep
it in a designated place on the inside of the seat under the backrest cover.
• The seat is only suitable for installation on forward-facing car seats. The seat must not be
installed on rearward or side-facing seats. The seat must always be secured using the ISOFIX
attachment with the support leg.
• DO NOT place a child restraint on seats with active front airbags as this can be dangerous.
This does not apply to side airbags.
• If installed on the front seat, the front airbag must be deactivated. It is recommended
to install the child seat only on the rear seats of the vehicle. For guidance on the suitability
of a vehicle seat for use with a child restraint system, refer to the vehicle handbook.
• Before every journey, make sure that the 5-point seat belts are correctly adjusted and firmly
fastened to the child's body. Under no circumstances must the safety harness be twisted!
• REMEMBER, THE CLOSER THE BELT IS TO THE CHILD'S BODY, THE GREATER THE LEVEL OF
SAFETY. THEREFORE, DO NOT WEAR THICK CLOTHING UNDER THE BELT.
• The lap belts of the seat belt must run as low as possible across your child's groin to ensure
an optimum effect in the event of an accident.
• Only an optimally adjusted head restraint can give your child maximum protection
and comfort while ensuring that the shoulder straps fit properly.
• The seat should be replaced if it has been subjected to sudden stresses during a traffic
accident.
• The car seat must not be modified in any way without the approval of the relevant approval
authority. Failure to install the seat in accordance with the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer may lead to risks to life and health.
• Keep your child's car seat out of direct sunlight, otherwise the heated parts could burn your
child. Protect your child and the car seat from the sun's rays.
• Never leave your child unattended in a child seat.
• Ensure that luggage and other objects are sufficiently secured, particularly on the shelf
under the rear window, as they could cause injury in the event of a collision.
• The seat cannot be used without the cover.
• The infant insert serves to protect the baby and must be used until the baby reaches a height
of 60 cm.
• Do not use a replacement cover other than the one recommended by the manufacturer
as it is an integral part of the seat's safety system.
• We recommend that you keep the instruction manual for the seat as long as it is in use.
• Do not use attachment points other than those described in the instructions and marked
on the seat.
• All hard components and plastic parts of the child seat must be positioned and installed
in such a way that they cannot be trapped by the vehicle's sliding seat or doors under normal
conditions of use.
