2 Installing the child seat in your car

IMPORTANT – This child seat MUST only be used with a lap and diagonal seat belt (approved to UN/ECE regulation no. 16 or equivalent standards).

If one or both sections of the child seat are not in contact with both sections of the car’s seat you MUST angle the car seat more upright (dia 1e).

IMPORTANT – Have you adjusted the headrest to the correct position for your child and ensured that the seat has an appropriate recline angle?

IMPORTANT – You MUST NOT use the child seat for a child weighing more than 36kg.

Place the child seat forward facing in your car, ensuring it is pushed firmly into the car seat. Feed the diagonal section of the seat belt through the dark red upper belt guide on the OPPOSITE side to the buckle (dia 2a).

IMPORTANT – When installing the child seat, the vehicle seat must be kept in a normal upright position at all times. Reclining the vehicle seat will adversely affect the performance of the seat in a crash.

Fasten the seat belt across your child. The lap section of the seat belt should rest on the red lower belt guides on each side of the child seat (dia 2b).

IMPORTANT – The lap section of the seat belt should rest as forward and as low as possible over your child’s pelvis.

Remove as much slack as possible from the seat belt and make sure it is fitted comfortably, but tightly and is not twisted (dia 2c).

IMPORTANT – You must use the upper belt guide at all times.

IMPORTANT – Ensure that the diagonal section of the belt lays over the shoulder of the child and NOT against the neck.

Tighten the seat belt by pulling the diagonal section in the direction of the arrow(dia 2d).

If your vehicle has an adjustable seat belt upper anchorage, adjust its height so that the seat belt passes

through the centre of the upper belt guide on the child seat and pull the seat belt to tighten .

IMPORTANT – The child seat must not be installed in a position where the seat belt anchorage point is level with, or forward of, the upper belt guide (dia 2e).

Correct buckle position

IMPORTANT – Once you have installed the child seat it is important that you check the position of the seat belt buckle to ensure a secure installation.

If the seat belt buckle looks like this then the seat belt buckle position is correct (dia 2f).

If the seat belt buckle looks like this, where the buckle is being pulled around the shell into the red lower belt guide (dia 2g), try another seating position in the car.

IMPORTANT – Do not leave your child seat loose. Always fasten the seat belt across the child seat when it is not being used by your child to prevent the seat being hurled forward in the event of an accident.

If the seat belt does not lie within the red lower belt guides then the seat is not properly installed (dia 2h).

To release your child simply undo the seat belt.
