Other instructions
• The Priori SPS must not be used without the cover. Always use an original Priori SPS cover, as the cover
contributes to the safety of the seat.
• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt, even when not in use. An unsecured seat may injure other
passengers in the car in the event of an emergency stop.
• Ensure that the seat is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or
slamming the car door etc.
• No alterations may be made to the Priori SPS as this could affect part or the overall safety of the seat.
• In hot weather the plastic and metal parts of the Priori SPS may feel hot to the touch. You should therefore cover
the seat if the car is parked in the sun.
• In order to prevent damage to the cover, do not remove the Priori SPS logo.
• Use the seat even on short journeys as this is when most accidents occur.
• Prior to purchase check that the seat fits properly in your car.
• Take short breaks on longer journeys so that your child has some freedom of movement.
• Set a good example yourself and always wear your seat belt.
• Tell your child that he/she should never play with the belt buckle.
Questions
If you have any questions, contact your local Maxi-Cosi retailer (see www.maxi-cosi.com for contact information).
Make sure you have the following information at hand:
• Make, type and construction of the car and the seat on which the Priori SPS is used.
• Age (length) and weight of your child.
The seat belt
The Priori SPS should be used with an automatic 3-point safety belt provided that this has been approved
according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard. Do not use with a 2-point safety belt.
• Your Priori SPS can be fitted safely on almost all the seats in the car with the existing seat belts. However, on
some seats the belts are fitted so far forward that proper installation is not possible. If this is the case,
try another seat.
• In some cases the buckle of the car belt may be too long and therefore sits too high against the base of the Priori
SPS. Thus, the Priori SPS cannot be fitted securely. If this is the case, choose another position in the car.
Four positions of the Priori SPS (A)
The Priori SPS may be used in four positions: Lift the handle under the front of the seat up and pull or push the shell
forwards or backwards. Release the handle in the required position and push until you hear a distinct click.
Installing the Priori SPS with a 3-point safety belt (A-B)
When installing the car seat follow the installation instructions for the 3-point safety belt described above
(under section "the seat belt").
A 3-point safety belt is shown in figure B.
Place the Priori SPS in the sleeping position (A) on the car seat.
Thread the seat belt between the shell and base (B1).
Fasten the seat belt in the belt buckle (B1).
The lap belt now fits under the red hooks and the shoulder belt runs from the belt buckle directly diagonally
upwards. Place the shoulder belt in the belt clamp on one side only (B2) and fasten it (B3-1). Note! The shoulder
belt is now only attached on the side of the roll-up mechanism.
Push the Priori SPS firmly into the car seat and pull the shoulder belt tight (B3) so that there is no play between the
car seat and the Priori SPS.
Check this!
Pull the shoulder belt through the top belt hook (B4).

Placing your child in the Priori SPS (C)
Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the release button and pulling the shoulder belts towards you (C1).
Note! Do not pull on the belt pads.
Open the belt buckle (C2) and drape the belts over the hooks on the shell (C3).
Position your child comfortably with his/her back against the shell (C4) and make sure that there are no toys or
other hard objects in the shell. Slide buckle tongue sections together and insert them in the buckle (C5).
Pull the shoulder belts tight (C6), pull the remaining slack out of the belt system by pulling the belts tight with the
adjuster belt (C7).
Note!
• The tighter the belts are around the child, the better the protection.
• Check that the textured side of the belt pads is on the shoulders of your child
• The belts should never be twisted.
• If you are unable to click the tongue sections in the buckle, unblock the buckle by pressing the red button and
try again.
• If you are not able to fasten the harness belt properly or pull it tight, contact your supplier immediately. Under no
circumstances use the product!
Adjusting the height of the shoulder belts (C-E)
The correct belt height of the shoulder belts is attained when the belt disappears into the shell slightly above the
shoulder of the child. Make sure that the shoulder belts fit properly over the shoulders of the child (C8). Loosen the
shoulder belts by pressing the release button and pulling the shoulder belts towards you as far as possible
(C1). Note! Do not pull the belt pads.
Place the Priori SPS in the sleeping position (A) and open the belt guard door (D1).
Remove the shoulder belts from the belt yoke (D2).
Pull the shoulder belts through the shell and the cover out of the belt pads, but make sure that the buckle remains
fixed to prevent the belts twisting (D3).
If you wish to alter the belts from or to the lowest position, place the Priori SPS in
the sleeping position (A).
If you wish to alter the belts from or to the middle or highest position, place the Priori SPS in the sitting position (A).
Loosen the top part of the cover (D4) and thread the belt pads through the cover and the shell (D5).
From the front thread one belt pad through the correct slot in the cover and shell (D6).
Thread this belt pad via the back through the adjacent hole (D7).
Thread the shoulder belts through the adjusted belt pads, the cover and the shell (D8-D9).
Refit the shoulder belts to the belt yoke and check that the red stitching (x3) on the belt ends and the belt yoke are
facing the shell (D10) – if this is not the case your belts are twisted – then close the belt guard door (D1).
Fasten the cover all around, behind the pins (E4). Check that it works!
