Instructions for use
B. Solving any problems
• Check the buckle for any dirt and if necessary clean by knocking the dirt out, rinsing, blowing clean or
vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner, for example.
• NOTE! Never use lubricants!
If you are unable to close the belt buckle or if you are unsure whether you have solved the problem correctly,
contact your retailer or importer immediately (see back of instruction manual). Under no circumstances
should the Maxi-Cosi Tobi be used.
5. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Always pay attention to the following…
• Always use the seat, even on short trips close to home, as this is when most accidents occur.
• Only use the Maxi-Cosi Tobi in a car and not at home. Car seats are not designed for home use.
• The Maxi-Cosi Tobi may be used in the front seat and in the back seat. However, we recommend installing it
on the back seat.
• Do not use the Maxi-Cosi Tobi in a seat where a frontal airbag is installed. This can be dangerous. The same
applies to side airbags (curtains).
• The seat must always be secured with the seat belt, even when not in use. A loose seat could injure other
passengers in an emergency stop.
• Make sure that the Maxi-Cosi Tobi is not jammed or wedged by heavy luggage, adjustable seats or closing doors.
• Never use the Maxi-Cosi Tobi without the cover. Do not replace the cover by a cover other than the original
as the cover forms part of the total safety of the seat.
• Always cover up the Maxi-Cosi Tobi when the car is parked in the full sun; plastic and metal parts may
become extremely hot, this can cause burns and may discolour the cover unnecessarily.
• To avoid damage to the fabric, do not remove the logos, etc. on the cover.
• Make sure that there is no baggage or other loose objects (for example on the rear shelf) in the car.
In an emergency stop or crash these become dangerous projectiles!
• When making long journeys, make sure to take frequent breaks in order to give your child some room to move.
• Never leave your child alone in the car unattended.
• Keep the user instructions for future reference in the appropriate place at the back of the Maxi-Cosi Tobi.
• Never use second-hand products! You never know what may have happened with these. The safety of the
seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer if it is used by its first owner.
• The user should not make any modifications to the car seat or the belts. Also labels or warnings, etc. that
form part of the seat should not be removed in any circumstances!
• Always replace the Maxi-Cosi Tobi after an accident, as the seat may become unsafe due to damage that is
not readily apparent.
• The manufacturer knows that car seats may cause impressions in car upholstery or car seat belts. These
cannot be avoided, since the safety standards demand powerful and firm fastening methods. That is why
the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage as a result of these.
And of course …
• Always set a good example and wear your own safety belts!
6. WASTE SEPARATION
To ensure optimum and safe use of car safety seats, they should not be used for longer than 5 to 6 years
after the date of purchase. Ageing of the plastic, for instance under the influence of sunlight (UV), may quite
unnoticeably reduce the qualities of the product.
Once the child has grown out of the seat, we therefore advise you to no longer use the car seat and to
dispose of it in the proper way.
As we care for the environment we request the user to separate the waste produced at the start (packaging)
and end (product parts) of the life of the Maxi-Cosi Tobi.
Make sure to keep plastic wrapping material out of reach of your child in order to avoid the risk of suffocation.

4.2 Fabric cover
Removing the cover
• Open the belt buckle. Loosen the shoulder belts by pulling them forwards as far as possible (24, 25).
Unhook the elastic loops from the hooks on both sides of the positioning handle.
• Remove the elastic edge of the cover from the edges of the shell and then carefully loosen the cover at the
front (26, 27).
• Remove the belt buckle pad by pulling it carefully over the belt buckle sideways at an angle. Pass the cover
over the belt buckle (from back to front).
• Loosen the cover from the side points on both sides of the shell (28).
• Loosen the back flap of the cover and fold it forwards (29).
• Remove the cover carefully from the sides (30).
• Loosen the cover behind the belt clamps. The cover has been pushed behind the belt clamps here (31,1)
• Now pull the cover carefully over the headrest (31,2).
• Remove the cover.
• Remove the belt pads of the shoulder belts by loosening the Velcro and the poppers on the outside (32).
• Remove the belt behind the flap with the Velcro (33).
• Slide the hook clasp out of the loop of the belt pad (34).
• Remove the belt pad from the spring (35).
• Do this with both belt pads.
• Repeat the above, with the exception of the clasp, for the two hip belt pads. The hip belt pads are attached
to the belt with Velcro.
• Remove the headrest cover by removing the two elastic bands from the bottom flap under the plastic part (36,1).
• Loosen the headrest cover on one side under a point and remove the cover carefully on this side of the headrest.
• Carefully loosen the headrest cover at the edge under the handle at the top of the headrest.
• Now remove the headrest cover carefully (36,2).
Cleaning the cover
• Wash the cover and belt pads by hand (maximum of 30°C). Do not use a drier. Also see the care
instructions on the cover.
Tip: It is wise to buy an extra cover when purchasing the Maxi-Cosi Tobi so that you can continue to use it
even when the cover is being washed and dried.
Reattaching the cover
• Repeat the above steps in the reverse order!
• NOTE! First attach the 4 belt pads and the headrest cover before reattaching the cover.
• Slide the cover well into the cover edges of the shell all over.
• Check that the cover is tight fitting all over and secured properly.
4.3 Belt buckle functioning and cleaning
The proper functioning of the belt buckle is very important for the safety of the child. The most common
reason that the buckle does not function properly is because it is dirty (from dust, grime, food particles, etc.).
The following is a list of possible causes of function failure and possible solutions.
A. Faults
• When opening the belt buckle, the buckle sections are released slowly.
• The belt buckle can only be opened with considerable force.
• It is difficult to click the buckle sections into the buckle (too much resistance).
• The buckle will no longer close, the buckle sections will not go together.
• There is no “click” sound when closing the buckle.
