Important: Read first!
• WARNING: Read this instruction manual carefully. Study the illustrations in this instruction manual carefully
before use, and when installing the car seat. The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP is a safety product and is only safe when
used according to the instructions.
• WARNING: The correct fitting of the seat belt is of vital importance for the safety of your child. The seat belt
must be threaded along the red markings on the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP. See the Installation section and/or the
sticker on the side of the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP. Never use another belt routing other than specified.
• WARNING: For the future use of the seat, it is important that you store the instruction manual in the space
provided on the back of the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP.
• WARNING: Never leave your child unattended in the car.
• WARNING: Never use the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP on a seat equipped with a front airbag, as this can result in injury
or death. This does not apply to so-called "side airbags".
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP must only be used on a forward facing seat that is fitted with an automatic 3-point
safety belt, which is approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP may be used on either the front or the back seat. However, we recommend that it is
fitted on the back seat.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP has been approved according to the strictest European safety standards (ECE R44/04)
and is suitable for children weighing 9 to 18 kg (approx. age 9 months to 3,5 years).
• After an accident, the seat may become unsafe due to damage that is not immediately noticeable. It should
therefore be replaced.
• The safety of the seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer if it is used by the original owner.
• We strongly advise that you never use a second-hand product, as you can never be sure what has happened to it.
• The belt pads are important for the safety of your child, therefore use them at all times.
• Ensure that all luggage and objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident are secured properly.
• It is recommended that car safety seats not be used longer than 5 years after the date of purchase. The product
properties may deteriorate due to ageing of the plastic and/or sunlight, without this being visibly apparent.
• The moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP should not be lubricated in any way.
• WARNING: The manufacturer has taken into consideration the fact that car seats may cause indentations in the
car upholstery. This is unavoidable, however, due to the prescribed safety standards, and because the car seat
must be installed tightly in order to protect your child. Dorel is not liable for any damage that may occur to the
car upholstery as a result of this.
Other instructions
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP must not be used without the cover. Always use an original Maxi-Cosi Priori XP cover, as
the cover contributes to the safety of the seat.

English
• 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 Maxi-Cosi Priori XP is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage, adjustable
seats or by slamming the car door, etc.
• No alterations may be made to the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP, as this could affect part or the overall safety of the seat.
• Always cover the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP when the car is parked in the sun, as plastic and metal parts may become
extremely hot and the fabric unnecessarily discoloured.
• In order to prevent damage to the cover, do not remove the logos.
• Always use the seat, even on short journeys, as this is when most accidents occur.
• Prior to purchase, check to make sure 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 and always wear your seat belt.
• Tell your child that he/she should never play with the belt buckle.
Questions
Contact your supplier or importer if you wish to make a warranty claim or have any other questions (see address list
on the back of the instruction manual).
The seat belt
The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP may only be used with an automatic 3-point safety belt (01).
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP can be fitted safely in a forward-facing position on almost all seats in the car using 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 Maxi-Cosi
Priori XP. The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP can therefore not be fitted securely. If this is the case, choose another position in
the car (02). Questions? Contact your supplier or importer.
Four positions of the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP
The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP may be used in four positions: Lift the adjusting handle under the front of the seat up (03)
and push or pull the seat forwards or backwards (04). Release the adjusting handle in the desired position and push
until you hear a distinct click. Before installing the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP, pull the seat towards you as far as possible
(sleeping position) (05).
Installing the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP
Please read the "Seat Belt" section before installing the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP.
• Place the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP on the car seat in the sleeping position (05).
• Release the belt tensioner. To do so, push the tab under the handle downwards and open the handle.
The handle will now visibly protrude from the base (06). The belt tensioner should no longer be positioned between
the red belt hooks (07).
• Thread the seat belt between the shell and the base. Make sure that the lap belt section of the seat belt is threaded
between the red hooks and the belt tensioner (08).
• Fasten the seat belt in the belt buckle of the car (08) and check to ensure the car seat belt is not twisted.
• The lap belt should now run under the red seat belt hooks (09) and the shoulder belt should run from the car seat
buckle directly diagonally upwards. Place the shoulder belt in the belt clamp (10) on one side only and fasten it
(11/1). IMPORTANT: The shoulder belt is now attached on the side of the roll-up mechanism only. The belt clamp is
now locked.
• Next, push the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP firmly into the car seat (11/2) whilst at the same time pulling the shoulder belt
tight (11/3), so that the Maxi-Cosi Priori XP is securely in place. Check this!
