Using the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System in the car
The Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System consists of two parts: a booster seat and a detachable backrest.
Always use the booster seat with the backrest.
We recommend that your child should only use the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System when he/she weighs at
least 15 kg and is tall enough for the belt to fit correctly over the shoulder (and not press against the neck).
The belt routing areas are marked in red. You will see a red mark under the armrests of the booster seat and red belt
hooks on the headrest.
Fitting the backrest is very simple and is explained in the following section.
IMPORTANT: When using the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System in the front passenger seat the car seat must
ALWAYS be placed in its most UPRIGHT POSITION. Remove the headrest of the passenger seat if it is in the way
when the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System is placed in the car. Do not forget to replace the headrest when the
passenger seat is in use again.
Fitting the backrest
• Fold the U-shaped flaps on the rear of the booster seat double and tuck them under the cover, ensuring that the
openings in the cover are kept unrestricted.
• Insert the hooks of the backrest in the openings (1). Make sure that the backrest is lying flat (horizontal) on the
ground. Make sure that the cover does not get caught between the moving parts of the seat.
• Raise the backrest until you feel some resistance and hear a slight click engaging the backrest (Fig. B-2).
Raise the backrest further until the side lumbar supports come into contact with the armrests.
Removing the backrest
• Push the backrest downwards until you feel some resistance. Gently push the backrest further until it lies flat.
Remove the backrest by carefully lifting the hooks out of the openings in the booster seat.
Adjusting the height of the headrest
• Hold the headrest with one hand at the top. Use the other hand to operate the adjuster.
• Pull the headrest up until you feel some resistance (1).
• Tilt the adjuster on the rear of the backrest slightly upward (2).
• When the required height is reached, release the adjuster and click in the selected position. There are 6 positions.
• Push the headrest carefully down until it stops, so that it locks.
To ensure the correct headrest height is obtained, the red belt hooks should be located slightly above the shoulders of
your child. Make sure that the shoulder belt is positioned correctly over the shoulder of the child (B3) and does not
press against the child’s neck. (When the car seat belt height is adjustable, adjust the height so that the belt runs in a
straight line through the belt hooks of the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System headrest).
Installing the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System
Position the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System with its backrest firmly against the backrest of the car seat (fig. C).
Make sure that the seat is not placed on the belt buckle. Sit your child on the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System
(fig. D) with his/her back against the backrest.
Put the seat belt around the child. Thread the lap belt under both armrests (fig. D-1). If fitted correctly, the belt passes
over the red marking on the seat. Insert the buckle tongue in the belt buckle (fig. D-2) and pull the lap belt tight.
