The child safety seat has been designed, tested and certifi ed according to the requirements of the European

Standard for Child Safety Equipment (ECE R 44/04). The test mark E (in a circle) and the certifi cation number are located on the orange certifi cation sticker (sticker on the child safety seat).

• This certifi cation will be invalidated if you make any modifi cations to the child safety seat.

• The TRIFIX child safety seat must only be used to secure your child in the vehicle. It must never be used as a seat or toy in the home.

*ECE = European Standard for Child safety Equipment

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure the full protective effect of the child safety seat:

• In the event of an accident with an impact speed above 10 km/h it is possible that the child safety seat may have been damaged, but that the damage may not be immediately obvious. In this case the child safety seat must be replaced.

Please dispose of it properly.

• Regularly check all important parts for damage. Make sure that the mechanical components in particular are all in perfect working order.

• To prevent damage, ensure that the child safety seat does not become jammed between hard objects (car door, seat runners etc.).

• Always have the child safety seat checked if it has been damaged (e.g. if it is dropped).

• Never lubricate or oil parts of the child seat.

Please observe the waste disposal regulations in your country.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Care for the harness buckle

It is vital for the safety of your child that the harness buckle works correctly.

Malfunctions of the harness buckle are usually caused by accumulations of dirt or foreign bodies:

• The buckle latches are ejected only slowly when the red release button is pressed.

• The buckle latches will no longer lock home (i.e. they are ejected again if you try to push them in).

• The buckle latches engage without an audible „click“.

• The buckle latches are diffi cult to insert (you feel resistance).

• The buckle only opens if extreme force is applied.

Remedy wash out the harness buckle so that it functions properly once again:

TWO-YEAR WARRANTY

For this child safety seat we offer a 2-year warranty against manufacturing or material defects. The warranty period is effective from the day of purchase.

The warranty covers only child safety seats which have been handled properly and which have been sent to us in a clean and proper condition.

The Warranty does not cover:

• natural signs of wear and damage resulting from excessive stress

• damage resulting from inappropriate or improper use

What is covered by the warranty?

Fabrics: All of our fabrics meet very high requirements with regard to colour fastness when exposed to UV radiation. Nevertheless, all fabrics fade when exposed to UV radiation. This is not a material defect, but rather a normal sign of wear which is not covered by the warranty.

Buckle: Buckle malfunctions are often due to accumulations of dirt or foreign bodies which may stop the buckle from working properly. If this happens, the buckle can be cleaned, olease follow the procedure described in your user instructions.

Please contact your retailer immediately in the event of a warranty claim. He or she will give you the advice and support you need. When processing claims, product-specifi c depreciation rates will be applied. Please refer to our General

Terms and Conditions which are available from your retailer.

User Instructions

User_guide_TRIFIX_GB.indd 1 17.01.2012 08:47:05

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 and the Top Tether, even when there is no child in the seat

.

For the protection of your child

• The more snugly the harness fi ts 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.

• Use on the rear seat:

Move the front seat forward far enough that you 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.

INSTALLATION

Preparatory work

01 02

1. If your vehicle is not equipped with the ISOFIX insert guides as standard, clip the two insert guides 02 which are included with the seat* with the cut-out facing upwards onto the two ISOFIX attachment points 01 of your vehicle.

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 ISO-

FIX 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 guides and on the hooks. Clean off any dirt or foreign objects to remedy this type of problem.
