Maxi-Cosi Priori - Manual (Page 2)

Thank you for choosing this car seat, referred
to throughout this manual as a child restraint.
The Maxi-Cosi Brand is part of the Dorel
Juvenile Group (DJG) family that is committed
to creating a child restraint with the most
comfort and convenience available today.
Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers
and examples. If you always buckle your seat
belt, your child will think it is the natural thing
to do. Make it a firm rule that the vehicle does
not go until everyone is buckled up. Make no
exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint
will prevent injury or death in a particular
crash. However, combined with careful
driving, proper use of a child restraint can
lower a child’s risk of injury or death in most
crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take
to read and follow these instructions. After
reading, if you still have questions or have any
problems with this child restraint, please
