ADJUSTING THE SLIDEGUARD™ CLIP POSITION AND HEADREST
IMPORTANT:
You must adjust the crotch strap to the correct length for your child before installing the restraint as it
cannot be adjusted in the car.
The crotch strap should only be extended if the buckle and SLIDEGUARD™ clip are located too low
against your child's legs, causing discomfort.
Always return the crotch strap to its original shorter length when using the seat with a smaller child.
The buckle SLIDEGUARD™ clip should always be positioned low down on your child's body.
DO NOT attempt to remove the crotch strap from the adjuster.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE THE SLIDEGUARD™ CLIP

SETTING UP THE SLIDEGUARD™ CLIP POSITION
NOTE: The SLIDEGUARD™ clip ensures that the child does not slump and ensures the lap belt is
always positioned on the child’s hips and thighs. If the seat belt rides up on to the stomach then a
child can be seriously injured in a crash.
A. Sit the restraint against a wall for stability and get the child to sit comfortably in position.
B. Determine the correct buckle position. The bottom edge of the buckle needs to be level with the top
of the legs.
