The STARLIGHT-NXT was developed for the transport of children with special
needs in cars. Children with poor head or trunk control (eg infantile cerebral palsy,
muscular dystrophy, hypotension) can be supported in their posture by means of
individually positioned thorax pads and special upholstery which ensures a safe
transportation.
Important optional accessories can be used to address specific needs such as: the
seat angle or the installation of a stable abduction wedge or a footstool. More in

1.3 Relevant information
The STARLIGHT-NXT car seat for disabled children consists of two modules:
1. A standard child car seat from Römer-Britax (please refer to the manufacturer's
manual for use).
2. Adaptation module with accessories, which offers the possibility to equip the car
seat according to individual needs. Please observe the instructions for use from
HERNIK GmbH.
1.4 Declaration of conformity
HERNIK GmbH declares in sole responsibility that car seat "STARLIGHT-NXT"
complies with the Essential Requirements (Appendix 1 of Directive 93/42 EEC). The
product is marked with the CE mark according to the above mentioned directive.
1.5 Warranty
A warranty can only be accepted if the product is used under the specified
conditions and for the intended purposes. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage caused by components and spare parts which were not approved by the
manufacturer.
1.6 Service and repair
Service and repairs on the STARLIGHT-NXT may only be carried out by specialized
dealers. If you have any problems, contact your local dealer. For repairs, you will
only receive original spare parts.
1.7 Practical instructions
The car seat will be delivered fully assembled. Upon delivery, the dealer will instruct
the user how to use the device by using the manual. The specialist dealer should
install together with the user the car seat in the car and if available adjust the Isofix
strap or the clamp.
When installing the car seat, it is best to hold it with one hand in the center of the
front and the other at the top. In order to achieve an optimal sitting position, it is
necessary to adjust the car seat individually to the circumstances of the child. This
should always be done by the dealer.

II. Safety instructions
· Before use, the components must be checked for perfect function and
condition.
· The instructions for use must always be carried on the child car seat.
· The safety of your child is only guaranteed if the seat is installed correctly and
if the child is fixed exactly.
· The straps must be laid tight and without twisting.
· The 3-point safety belt is to be guided through the provided belt guides and
is supposed to surround the seat tightly.
Please check:
A) whether the seat belt is securely placed in the belt guide
B) whether the belt buckles are locked correctly
C) that no textiles are impacted
· Make sure that no solid objects like pins, belt buckles, etc. are placed between
child and seat belt. This could lead to injuries in the event of accidents.
· Explain to your child how important it is to be well-secured and that the
course of the straps do not change. It shouldn't pull on the straps nor
open the belt buckles.
· Do not make any changes to the car seat, otherwise you risk your child's
safety.
· The car seat must not be damaged by moving parts in the car or through
doors.
· Never leave your child alone in the child car seat.
· Inform your passengers how your child can be taken out of the seat after an
accident.
· After an accident, the entire child car seat has to be renewed.
• Pull the locking bracket lightly on the
backrest of the seat until it releases from the
toothing. Move it together with the headrest
to the desired position. Finally, release the
bracket so that it can engage again - see Fig.
1.
ATTENTION: If the locking bar is already at
the highest point and you still need more back
or headrest height, the XL kit should be
retrofitted or a larger car seat be selected!
• Now the two-piece back cushion has to be
adjusted. Loosen the scratches between the
front back cushion and the wedge-shaped
balance pad , which is behind it - see Fig. 2.
• Align the back cushions , make sure that the
connected head restraints are seated correctly,
and revert the underside of the cushion
around the wedge-shaped cushions .
Make sure that no wrinkles form and a smooth
crossover is created.

IV. Installation of the XL-Kit
• The XL-Kit allows you to use the STARLIGHT-
NXT even for older children (1.20 m max.). If
the car seat has not already been ordered
with the XL kit, it can be retrofitted with it.
The XL-Kit consists of:
backrest cushion long, incl. headrest
beltpads for the shoulder, pair
adapter plate (if thorax supports are used)
wedge-shaped pad, long
• First remove the already installed back
cushion, incl. the wedge-shaped compensati-
on cushion.
• Loosen the straps as far as possible and
remove the gray straps from the Y-connector
(fig. 2)
• Press the release button (Fig. 3) and pull the Y-
connector on the back of the car seat up as far
as it will go - until the gray 25 mm strap stops
and is visible only a few inches.
