Maxi-Cosi Pearl Forward Facing Group 1 Car Seat (Jet Black)

Sit back and enjoy the ride with Maxi-Cosi Pearl

The Maxi-Cosi Pearl is designed to include the latest technology to ensure that you and your child enjoy your days out together. The Pearl is a forward-facing Group 1 car seat appropriate for children weighing from 9 kg to 18 kg, or 9 months to around 3.5 years.

Maxi-Cosi Pearl (Jet Black)

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 Pearl

The Maxi-Cosi Pearl may only be installed using the compatible Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix car seat base. The base attaches to the car's IsoFix anchor points. Light and sound indicators confirm correct installation of Maxi-Cosi Pearl on the FamilyFix.

IsoFix is an international standardised system to install child car seats and is fitted in most new cars. The system guarantees superior, peace-of-mind protection for your child without the need for less reliable seatbelt attachment. The system consists of two anchor points located between the backrest and seat of the rear or front passenger seat that are connected to the body of the car.

Maxi-Cosi Pearl and Your Child--Safety Guidelines

Installation in a Car: The Maxi-Cosi Pearl is intended for car use only. The Maxi-Cosi Pearl must always be placed in a forward-facing position in the car on a Maxi-Cosi Family Fix. Make sure the fold-down rear seat is locked into position.

Airbags: Deactivate the airbag if using the Maxi-Cosi Pearl on the front passenger seat. If this is not possible, place the passenger seat in the rear most position.

Use of Harness: Always secure your baby with the harness belt, even when he/she is not in the car. Ensure you clearly hear an audible 'click' when securing the harness. Make sure you can fit no more than one finger (1cm) between the harness belts and your baby. Ensure the shoulder belts are never twisted or damaged and are straight from the shell and across your baby's shoulders.

Headrest: Check to make sure the headrest of the Pearl is adjusted to the proper height.

Sun Exposure: Always cover the car seat when exposed to direct sunlight in the car to avoid the cover, metal and plastic parts from becoming too hot for your child's skin.

Maintenance: The Maxi-Cosi Pearl must undergo regular maintenance. Do not use lubricants or aggressive cleaning agents. And do not use the Maxi-Cosi Pearl for more than 5 years.
