Installation with Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix 360 Base
It is imperative to install the Pearl 360 on the dedicated Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix 360 base. Please read the user manual of the base carefully.
The car seat can rotate 360° on the FamilyFix 360 base, making it easier to place your child in and out of the vehicle. This also allows for easy switching between rearward and forward-facing positions.
Important: Ensure that the car seat is securely locked in its position before driving. Never drive with the car seat in a sideways or unlocked position.
Compatibility: This child restraint is classified for “Universal” use and is suitable for fixing into the seat position of various cars. For a complete list of compatible cars, please visit www.maxi-cosi.com/car-fitting-list.
Using the Pearl 360 with Your Child
Rearward Facing Position: The car seat must be used rearward facing up to a minimum age of 15 months to guarantee optimum safety. Maxi-Cosi recommends using the rearward facing position up to 105 cm and a maximum of 17.5 kg (approximately 4 years). This significantly improves head and neck protection for your child, as these areas are very fragile at this age.
Forward Facing Position: You may install the Pearl 360 in a forward-facing position when your child is older than 15 months and measures at least 76 cm up to 105 cm in length.
Harness Adjustment: Ensure that no more than one finger fits between the harness and your child's body (approx. 1 cm). Adjust the harness tighter if there is more space.
Headrest Adjustment: Ensure the headrest is adjusted to the correct height for your child.
Safety Check: Always ensure the car seat is correctly installed and the harness is properly adjusted before each journey.
