2 - positioning the child car seat in the vehicle
IMPORTANT:
NEVER USE THE CHILD CAR SEAT ON A SEAT WHERE AN AIRBAG IS FITTED AND
ACTIVE. REFER TO YOUR VEHICLE USER MANUAL FOR INFORMATION ON DE-ACTIVATING THE
AIRBAG. THE SEAT MUST ALWAYS BE FITTED, REARWARD FACING.
3 - securing your child car seat (rearward facing)
Place the handle (a) in position one (see Changing the handle position).
Pass the waist strap of the vehicle safety belt through the front strap guide (b) and secure.
Pass the vehicle seat diagonal belt through the guide on the back of the child car seat (c).
Note: The strap goes under the handle (d).
Tighten, pulling the diagonal vehicle seatbelt that normally travels across the passengers chest and
finally securing. Ensure that the child car seat is secure with the handle resting against the vehicle
seat back.
IMPORTANT: The position of the seat belt/lap strap buckle can affect the stability of the child
car seat. In an accident this could stop the child car seat from protecting your child as well as it
should. If, when the seat belt/lap strap belt is properly tightened, the buckle lies in the position
marked then try fitting the child car seat in another seating position in your car.
4 - adjusting the harness as your child grows
These can be adjusted (2 positions) when required to suit a growing child.
To change the position of the straps you will need to open the adjustment compartment (a) by
pushing in the release catch and pulling the plastic cover outward.
Release straps from distribution plate (b).
The shoulder straps must be threaded through the slots in the back of the child car seat and fabric
cover so that they are level with the child’s shoulders (c).
Re-secure to distribution plate (b) and then close and secure the adjustment compartment cover.
5 - general harness adjustment
It is recommended to adjust the harness length to fit your child, before installing the child car seat
into the car.
To tighten the shoulder straps, pull the webbing at the end of the TMS system until achieving
the fit and tension required.
To loosen off the shoulder straps push inwards the TMS release catch and pull forward the
shoulder straps with the other hand keeping the TMS catch pushed down. Releasing the catch
will secure the harness in place.
NOTE: The harness must be reasonably tight. It should restrain but not make the child
uncomfortable.
Check that the straps are not twisted while the child is seated.
