Fastening the harness correctly is key to restraining the child well in the car seat. You need to pull the harness adjuster strap until the harness is close to the child's body. If the harness is correctly tightened, you should only be able to pass 1 finger between your child's body and the harness strap. The tighter the harness is, the better your child will be restrained and the safer he/she is in case of an accident.

The Mobi XP has convenient belt hooks that keep harness and buckle pad conveniently out of the way to easy get the child in and out.

Remove the Maxi-Cosi Mobi XP from the car before carrying out any of the following. The seat may be cleaned with lukewarm water and a gentle soap. Do not use abrasive detergents. The cover and the belt pads must be washed by hand at a maximum temperature of 30oC. Do not use a dryer. Also see washing instructions on the label sewed to the Mobi XP cover. The belt buckle may be cleaned with warm water. Do not lubricate.

The correct belt height of the shoulder belts is attained when the belt disappears into the shell slightly above the shoulder of the child. Make sure that the shoulder belts fit properly over the shoulders of the child. Please consult the manual for a visualization of these steps: Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the release button and pulling the shoulder belts towards you as far as possible. Lift up the flap on the cover by the shoulder belt slots. To make the adjustment easier, pull the shoulder belts on top of the belt pad forward into a loop, loosening them. Next, push the loop back through the opening. Slide the shoulder belt and the belt pad strap through the slot together into the next position. Make sure that the shoulder belt is positioned on top of the belt pad strap in the new position. Always do this on both sides. Pull the shoulder belts tight by pulling on the belts under the belt pads. Place the flap back in position and thread the belt pads through the correct slots in the flap and secure them with the Velcro. Check whether you are able to use the belts and ensure they are not twisted.

Uneven belts may be caused by the incorrect guiding of the harness system. Check at the back of the car seat that the belts are not twisted and that the pull belt (that runs forward at the bottom of the shell) is in the middle of the system. Also check that the belt can move easily to and fro through the shoulder openings. For smooth movement, the belt buckle should be flapped forward completely. This belt buckle operates by releasing the belt tensioner. If the problem continues after you have checked this, consult your retailer.

In this case, we recommend, as do all international safety experts, that you stop immediately in a safe place, fasten the buckle once more and tell the child he/she should not open it and the reason for this. It is always a possibility that an inventive, handy or strong child will open the buckle. If the force required to open the buckle were to be considerably increased to make it impossible for the child to open it himself, this would be contrary to the legal safety standards. The position of the buckle, the colour of the button, and the operating or opening force are all laid down in European standards. In the case of an accident, someone providing assistance without any knowledge of car seats must be able to see immediately how to release the child from a car seat in an emergency.

The child's head has to be totally protected and should not extend past the top of the headrest.

The harness straps should be placed at the level of the shoulders, not coming from above nor below. The headrest should be adjusted in consequence, keeping the harness at the level of the shoulders.

Yes. Each time you place your child in the car seat you should fasten the safety harness. This is because the the length of the harness will vary depending on the type of clothing he/she is wearing. If the harness is tightened correctly, you should only be able to pass 1 finger between your child's body and the harness strap.
