Consult the car owner’s handbook for location of anchor fittings or anchorage points.
Some vehicle manufacturers recently have an anchor fitting fitted in the car.
If there is no child restraint anchor fitting or child restraint anchor point refer to pages
51-55 for the installation of the anchor fitting as well as the use of extension straps.
An anchor fitting is required to attach the upper anchorage strap to fully install the
Carrier to the car. The upper anchorage strap must be used with this infant carrier
when used in the car.
For installing the Base to the car, select a seating position with a child restraint
anchor fitting directly behind the seating position.
HOW TO INSTALL
HOW TO INSTALL
INSTALLING THE BASE TO THE CAR
A.
Place the base and Infant Carrier on vehicle
seat in a seating position where a child restraint
anchor fitting is installed. The Level Indicator Line
needs to be level with the road, (i.e. parallel with
the road surface). Check and adjust the Levelling
knob of the base if necessary.
B.
If your car’s seat is contoured then you may
need to adjust the angle of the base so your baby
is not too upright.
The angle may be altered by turning the base
levelling knob located at the rebound bar end
which will cause the levelling foot to extend from
the under side of the base.

both sides of base.
Always leave a
rearward slope angle of
approximately 10° to 15°
MANUAL PACKING
The angle may also be altered by placing a firm packing between the seat and the
underside of the base (packing can be a firmly rolled up towel or nappy)
For some vehicles with flat seats some packaging may be required at the front edge
of the base to get some recline. The stabilising bar does not need to touch the car's
seat back but should be close.
Always leave a rearward slope angle of approximately 10° to 15°
