Introduction

The kiddy maxi pro is part our company's new pro line, which offers comple-

tely safety to protect your baby and growing child by means of a special

material that derives energy. In order to secure your baby completely in the

kiddy maxi pro seat, this is fitted in the head support area with the new mate-

rial. The impact of a side collision will be absorbed particularly well before it

reaches the sensitive head area of the baby. For complete protection of your

baby the kiddy maxi pro has to be used exactly as is described in these

directions.

1. Applicability

The kiddy maxi pro seat was tested and approved in line with the most cur-

rent version of the standard ECE44-04. It received the design certification

for the category "universal". This means that it should be used in all vehicle

types on seats with 3-point vehicle belt in accordance with ECE 16 or com-

parable norms.

Please note that the kiddy maxi pro seat should never be

used on vehicle seats with active front air bag. Caution! A

front airbag that comes out onto the seat can seriously

injure or even kill your child.

The seat can be used on all vehicle seats with the following features:

- There is no active front airbag.

- There is a 3-point vehicle belt available, which is approved in

accordance with ECE 16 or comparable standards.

Follow the recommendations of the vehicle manual. The seat can be used

for babies ( 0+) up to 13kg or approx. 15 months.

2. General safety instructions

Read through the directions for use carefully before fitting the kiddy maxi

pro seat for the first time. Incorrect use can be life-threatening for your child.

Many injuries are caused by carelessness and are easily avoidable.

It is forbidden to make any changes whatsoever to the child

restraint systems. The protective effect can be lost or restricted.

If you experience difficulties please contact your specialist dealer

or the manufacturer directly.

Before each journey check the parts of the seat pan. Above all

the belt system has to be regularly checked for wear and tear

and possible damage. Do not carry out any settings during the

journey.

Fit the seat pan in the opposite direction to which you are

driving (always with the back in the driving direction).

Please observe the notes in the vehicle manual, in which the

seat pan is to be fitted. Cf. chapter 4.1.

Make sure that all parts are always locked in place correctly. Set

the adjustable back rest of your car seat so that it has contact to

the carrying frame of the seat pan.

Make sure that no parts of the seat pan are penned into the

doors or adjustable seats.

With vans and caravans make sure that in the case of a rescue

operation by a third party the seat pan is preferably on a seat

that is easily accessible.

Only use the seat pan for the weight category specified - up to a

maximum of 13kg. Cf. chapter 1.

Never use the seat pan without the original cover. It is part of the

safety concept.

Never use the seat pan as a shopping aid or other carrying aid.

Never leave your baby unattended in the seat pan, especially

not when you put the seat pan on raised surfaces (baby

changing unit, table etc.).

Do not place any heavy objects on the rear shelf. This could be

dangerous in the event of an accident.

If you drive with the seat in the car without a child, always secu-

re it with the safety belt.

Protect the seat pan from direct sun light as it could heat up and

cause discomfort.

Allow your baby breaks during longer journeys and see that you

take the baby out of the seat during these breaks to relieve the

spine.

Ensure that the seat pan has been fitted in the vehicle according

to these instructions.

Never use the seat pan without having the child car seat’s own

5-point belt system locked and the belt tightened. This also

applies to use outside the vehicle.

Do not continue to use the seat shell if parts have been dama-

ged or loosened after an accident (accident speed great then 10

km/h) or through other effects.

3. General use

Please read these directions carefully before using the seat shell kiddy maxi

pro for the first time. Always keep the directions for use in the box provided

underneath the seat pan. This way it is always there if you encounter pro-

blems.

To adjust the carrying frame, press the yel-

low button on both sides on the swivel joint.

Make sure you never position the seat shell on sloping ground

and avoid putting it down on raised items (table, baby changing

unit, etc.)

3.2 Functions of the sun canopy

The sun canopy can be opened to protect against direct sunlight. Turn the

sun canopy frame forwards until it locks in place (fig. 6).

If the sun canopy is not needed, it can be fixed using the spring mounted

clamp under the pan rim (fig. 7). Fold the material folding top under the pan

rim and secure it.

Below are instructions on how to dismantle or assemble the sun canopy:

1. Loosen both mounting clips (fig. 6/no. 1)

and both press studs (fig. 6/no. 2) from the

pan rim or the pan cover.

downwards over the top end rim of the pan.

Now you can pull the clamp bracing

(fig.8/no.2) down vertically and remove the

clamp. (CAUTION: The clamp can only be

loosened in the pan position specified.

3. Feed the clamp out of the material strap of

the sun canopy.

reverse order. When mounting make sure

that the slot in the clamp (fig. 7/no. 1) is poin-

ting downwards.

The seat pan is not suitable for seats which are only fitted with a 2-point lap

belt. Only use the seat pan on seats that have a 3-point vehicle belt.

We recommend using the seat pan on the rear bench seat in

cars. In vans the seat pan should be mounted on the seat that

has the easiest access in the event of a rescue operation.

4.2 Fitting stages

After looking through the vehicle manual as well as selecting the appropria-

te seat, the seat pan can be fitted in the vehicle as described in the following

section.

Position the seat pan backwards facing the

vehicle seat and turn the carrying frame in

the position of drive operation (fig. 9).

Direct the lap belt of the vehicle’s own 3-

point belt systems through both lap belt gui-

des on the seat pan and let the belt tongue

lock in place. You will hear a clicking noise

(fig. 10). Check that this is locked in place by

pulling on the belt.

Guide the shoulder belt of the vehicle’s own

3-point belt systems on the back of the baby

seat pan and thread this between the blue

belt guide and the guide on the seat pan

(fig. 11).

Tighten the vehicle's own 3-point belt by hef-

tily pulling on the shoulder belt (fig. 12).

Some vehicles have so-called retractor locks. The automatic roll-up of the

vehicle’s own belt system can be disabled. A more permanent fitting of the

seat pan is possible. Read your vehicle manual or consult your authorised

repair shop.

5. Securing the baby into the seat

5.1 Height adjustment of 5-point belt system and head support

The kiddy maxi pro has a 5-point belt system, which guarantees optimal pro-

tection for your baby in the seat pan.

In order to guarantee the best possible safety for your baby with the 5-point

belt system, this must be adapted accurately to the body size. Shoulder belt

and head supports must be adjusted together as a unit.

mild washing. Spin drying and tumble drying are not

recommended.
