2.3 Prior to first use
The Hero is equipped with a function which prevents the seat from being
accidentally turned to the forward position. It is delivered to you with the shell
facing forward. When used from birth up to the age of 15 months, the seat must
be used in the rearward facing configuration.
Turn the shell of the child seat to the initial position and continue to turn it to the
rearward-facing position. This prevents the shell from being moved to the forward-
facing position by accident. Check hat the adjustment knob on the bottom side of
the seat is set rear-facing.
If you want to use the child seat in a forward-facing direction, first remove the seat.
Afterwards move the seat to the side to access the adjustment knob. To adjust the
selection lever, pull it as shown and then turn by 90° until the arrow points to the
forward-facing symbol. Let the button lock in place.
