Important information
ank you for choosing an Axkid child seat. Our team combined have over 30
years experience within child safety, and we have done our utmost to make the
Duox child seat as safe as possible. e Duox child restraint is
approved according to ECE R44/04, the latest European standards for child safety.
To maximise your child’s safety it is important that you keep the following in mind;
Read this instruction manual carefully before installing the
Duox child restraint. If in doubt, contact your retailer who can
demonstrate acorrect installation. An incorrect installation could
endanger your child.
Do not use a child restraint in a seating position where an active
airbag is tted. If you still wish to install the Duox in this location
the airbag must be disconnected at an authorised service centre.
Some vehicles may be equipped with a switch which allows you
to manually switch the airbag o. It is important to always check
if the vehicle’s indicator light shows that the airbag is turned o.
Use the Duox child restraint in the rear-facing position for as
long as possible. Extensive research has shown that the risk of
serious injury or worse is ve times greater for a young child when
in a forward facing restraint.
Always use the support leg when Duox is installed rear-facing.
e support leg is a very important safety feature designed to
maximise your child’s safety in an accident.
Should you have an accident, no matter how small, your child
restraint should be replaced. It may have damage that is undetectable and could seriously jeopardize your child’s safety. For this
reason Axkid do not recommend purchasing second hand child
restraints.
Read this instruction manual before installing the
Duox child restraint in your vehicle.

Do not use a child restraint in a seating
position where an active airbag is tted. If
you still wish to install your Duox in this
location the airbag must be disconnected at an authorized service centre. Some
vehicles may be equipped with a switch which

allows you to manually switch the airbag
o. It is important to always check if the
vehicle’s indicator light shows that the airbag
is turned o.
Placing the child restraint
e easiest way to lift the Duox into the vehicle is with its back rst. To begin push and
hold the adjustor for ISOx(1). Now you
should be able to unfold the ISOx arms (2).
Place the child restraint in the vehicle with
the back of the restraint facing the front of
the vehicle. When installing Duox in the
front seat it is possible, but not crucial, for
the back of the restraint to have contact with
the dashboard.

of the back seat between the backrest and

Once there is an audible click and both
indicators (4) are green they are properly
secured. To remove the Duox child restraint, hold both of the release buttons
(5).
To adjust the angle of the child restraint,
press the Recline Adjustment Lever (6) to
select one of the three reclining positions.
Always choose the most upright position
as possible, however your child must be
able to hold their head up on its own, and
there should be enough recline to ensure
your child’s head does not fall forward
when sleeping. e rule of thumb is that
the older the child grows, the more upright
the seat can be installed. Please note that
once the installation of the Duox is complete, it will be somewhat more reclined as
it sinks into the vehicle’s seat when tightening seat belts and tether straps.
Attaching the lower tether straps
Some vehicles may already be tted with
anchorage points at the base of the front
seat rails.
If your vehicle does not have these anchor
points, the supplied lower tether straps
must be used to create anchor points. For
tips on how to install these tether straps
please see the example on the next page.
e anchoring point needs to be as close
to the oor as possible. In doing so you
should always insert the buckle through
the closest appropriate slot in the strap
to create a slip knot and pull tight. is
