HOW TO SETUP

ADJUSTING THE SECUREGUARD™ DEVICE

The SecureGuard™ Device crotch strap must be 
adjusted so that it fits the seatbelt correctly to the 
child. The crotch strap length adjuster can be found 
under the seat. The seat base trim will need to be 
removed to aid adjustment.
A.  Underneath the base the length of the crotch 

strap can be adjusted by threading webbing 
through the adjuster in the direction of the arrows 
shown below. 

B.  Adjust the crotch straps of the SecureGuard™ 

Device so that the Lap portion of the seatbelt 
is positioned as low as possible on the child's 
hips and thighs and the lap belt is prevented 
from rising up the abdomen. Ensure the 
SecureGuard™ Device  does not push into your 
child's thighs as this may cause discomfort. 
Adjust the crotch strap to a shorter length when 
using the seat with a smaller child.
