Maxi-Cosi Axiss (Steel Grey)

As of September 2006, the use of safety belts in cars and approved child safety devices is mandatory for all children under 12 years old or less than 1.35 metres/4'5" in height for transport by car in the front and back seat. Every Maxi-Cosi car seat model--defined in the latest UN safety standard ECE R44.04--is specially designed for each age, as your child grows from birth to the age of 12.

• It is always the weight not the age of a child that dictates the choice of car seat.
• Do not buy or accept a second-hand car seat--you can never be certain of its full history and it may not provide adequate protection in an accident.

Installing the Maxi-Cosi Axiss

The Maxi-Cosi Axiss may only be installed using a standard 3-point adult car seat belt. Correct fitting of the car seat belt is essential for the safety of your child. The seat belt must be attached in the correct sequence along the red belt routing marks on the Maxi-Cosi Axiss.

The Maxi-Cosi Axiss should preferably be installed on a rear seat. If this is not possible, it can be installed on the passenger seat providing this does not contravene local laws in the country where the car seat is used. When installing the car seat behind the passenger seat, position the passenger seat backrest upright and as far forward as possible so that the child cannot knock it.

The direction of rotation of the Maxi-Cosi Axiss should always be adjusted to the direction of the nearest car door. The button for adjusting the direction of rotation is located on the underside of the Maxi-Cosi Axiss.
