You must
adjust the height of the
shoulder straps to the correct
position for your child
BEFORE
installing the child seat, as
they cannot be adjusted once
installed in the car.
Harness adjustment

adjuster button and with your
other hand
BELOW
the chest
pads, pull both shoulder straps
forward as far as possible to
loosen the harness
(dia 1a)
.
Unfasten the buckle by
pressing the red harness
buckle button

(dia 1b)
.
Fit the harness around your
child. To fasten the buckle;
first fit the two upper
sections together, then push
them firmly into the lower
section until you hear a
positive click
B
.
Place your hand on the
harness height adjuster and
with your thumb, squeeze
the adjuster tab
A
(dia 1d)
.
The top of the adjuster
can now pivot outwards,
releasing the bar
B
from
the adjuster notches
C
.
Now move the adjuster up
or down to an appropriate
height for your child. Pull
the adjuster strap to remove
any excess slack. Re-try your
child in the seat.
To tighten the harness
With your child in the seat
and the harness fastened,
check that the harness is not
twisted and pull the shoulder
straps up to tighten the
lap section of the harness.
Then tighten the harness by
pulling the adjuster strap
forward making sure the
harness is a comfortable but
FIRM
fit around your child.
Reclining the child seat
The child seat has a choice
of three recline positions for
your child’s comfort. It can
be used in either an upright
, reclined or sleeping
position
(dia 1e)
.
Squeeze the recline handle,
underneath the front of
the child seat, and slide
the child seat shell into the
desired position.
IMPORTANT –
Each time
you adjust the child seat
check that it is still secure
and that the seat belt/top
tether is tight, if fitted.
1. Adjusting the child seat
Children weighing 9-18kg (approx 9 months to 4 years)
Adjusting the harness
The shoulder strap slots in the
cover and shell
MUST
be level
with the top of your child’s
shoulders. If in any doubt
always position the slots
slightly above the shoulder
rather than below it
(dia 1c)
.
However, once you reach the
top position your child may
continue to use the seat until
their eye line is above the
top of the seat shell or their
weight exceeds 18kg.

Forward Anchorages
The child seat can be securely
fitted in many cars using the
lap and diagonal seat belt.
However, some types of car
designs prevent you from
making a good installation
due to the position of the
seat belt lower anchorage
points (the point where
your seat belt and buckle are
attached to the vehicle).
Put the ruler printed on the
front of this user guide on
your car seat in the position
shown
(dia 3a)
. Now
decide if both of the lower
anchorage points are in line
with the white or red area of
the ruler. If they are in the
white area then you can use
this position for the child seat.
If either of the lower
anchorage points are in
the red area then you
should try the child seat in
another position in the car.
IMPORTANT –
The child
seat
MUST
only be installed
using a lap and diagonal seat
belt routed as shown. The
child seat should
NEVER
be
fitted using a lap belt only.
IMPORTANT –
Ensure
that the ISOFIX catch arms
are within the base of the
seat and that the catch arm
protector is fitted.
Firmly, push the child seat
into the car seat, using your
body weight
(dia 3c)
. Pull
the seat belt to tighten the
lap section
(dia 3c)
,
and then pull the diagonal
section of the seat belt
tight , keep pulling the
diagonal section of the seat
belt
(dia 3d)
, as you
swivel the seat belt clamp
upwards until it engages
(dia 3d inset)
.
The child seat should now
be secure. To check pull
forward firmly on the
harness. There should be
little or no movement.
IMPORTANT –
After
installing the child seat you
need to check the position
of the seat belt buckle.
Checking the position of
the seat belt buckle
If, after following the
installation instructions,
your seat belt buckle looks
like this
(dia 3e)
the child
seat should now be secure.
To check this try to pull the
seat forward by the harness.
It should feel firm, not loose.
3. Installing the child seat in your car with a lap and diagonal seat belt
With the child seat on the car
seat in the upright position
(not reclined), pass the seat
belt through both side slots.
Fasten the seat belt, making
sure it is not twisted. Before
going any further make sure
that the lap section of the
seat belt passes below both
lap belt guides
(dia 3b)
.
Swivel the seat belt clamp
down and thread the
diagonal section of the seat
belt through the seat belt
lock
(dia 3b inset)
.
IMPORTANT –
The child seat
has two red seat belt locks.
Only use the one
FURTHEST
away from the seat belt buckle.
If, after following the above
instructions, your seat
belt buckle looks like this
(dia 3f)
the child seat is
NOT
correctly installed.
Try another seating position
in your car.
