Instructions for use
B. Placing the child in the Maxi-Cosi Tobi
• Place the child with his/her back straight in the Maxi-Cosi Tobi.
• Slide the buckle sections together (part A on part B) and insert them into the belt buckle with a clearly
audible “click” (20). When the buckle is closed, the belt system is blocked and can only be pulled tighter.
If you need to make the belts longer, the buckle must first be opened again.
• Now pull the harness system tight by pulling on the adjustment belt (21,2). Pull until the indicator on the
belt buckle turns green (21,2). If this is still silver the belt should be pulled tighter (22). Make sure that
the indicator is green before driving. If it seems like the harness belt is still loose even though the
indicator is on green, the belt can be pulled more tightly. This will ensure optimum safety. While driving, it
is possible that the indicator reverts back to silver as a result of the child’s movements. This is normal and
will not affect the child’s safety.
• NOTE! The tighter the belts fit around a child, the better the protection.
• NOTE! Make sure the textured (anti-slip) side of the belt pads are positioned properly on your child’s
shoulders/chest.
• NOTE! Make sure the belts are not twisted or folded double.
Always use the belt pads, as they are essential for your child’s safety.
Tell the child never to play with the belt buckle.
3.2 Seat positions (Adjusting the seat into sitting and reclining positions)
The Maxi-Cosi Tobi can be set in 5 positions.
• Pull the positioning handle under the front of the seat upwards and then pull or push the seat forwards or
backwards (23).
• Release the positioning handle in the desired position and push until you hear a “click”.
• NOTE! Check to make sure the Maxi-Cosi Tobi is securely locked in the desired position by pulling on it.
