5. Installation in the vehicle
In case of sudden braking or an accident, persons not using seat belts can cause damage to
other passengers.
Always check the following:
• The seat backrests are locked in the vehicle (i.e. foldable back seat is locked).
• All heavy objects and sharp edges are secured (e.g. on the rear parcel shelf).
• All passengers fastened their seat belts.
• The safety seat is always protected, even if the child is not in it.
Vehicle security
Seat covers in some vehicles can be made of soft materials so the safety seat may leave some
traces. They can be avoided by placing a blanket or towel under the safety seat.
