After an accident, the child seat and your car
seat belts should be replaced. Although they
may look undamaged, if you were to have
another accident the child seat and your car
seat belts may not be able to protect your
child as well as they should.

No child seat is escape proof

be completely “child proof” and yet comply
with the legal requirements of European
Standard ECE R44.

1 Adjusting the child seat

IMPOR TANT – You must check

that the headrest is in t he correct
position for your child before each
journey.

With the seat supported, squeeze
the headrest adjus ter at the back of
the headrest (dia 1a).

Move the headrest up or down so
that the head is positione d centrally
as in the picture (dia 1b).

When the headres t is in the correct
position let go of the headrest
adjuster and ensure it has locked
into place.

To adjust the backrest, place one
hand on the seat section and push
firmly on the backrest until you
feel and hear a click (dia 1c). The
backrest will now pivot freely and
does not need to click into another
position.

Push the child seat back until it is
touching the car’s seat back (dia 1d).
The cars seat backre st can be moved
to a desired angle.

IMPOR TANT – The backrest of

the child seat MUST always be in
contact with the car s seat back AND
the base section of the child seat
MUST always be in contact with the
car’s seat base.

If one or both sect ions of the child
seat are not in contact with both
sections of the car’s seat you MUST
angle the car seat more upright

(dia 1e).

IMPOR TANT – Have you adjusted

the headrest to the cor rect position
for your child and ensured that the
seat has an appropriate recline angle?

IMPOR TANT – You MUST NOT use

the child seat for a child weighing
more than 36kg.

Place the child seat forward facing in
your car, ensuring it is pushed firmly
into the car seat. Feed the diagonal
section of the seat belt through the
dark red upper belt guide on the

OPPOSITE side to the buckle (dia 2a).

IMPOR TANT – When installing

the child seat, the vehicle seat
must be kept in a normal upr ight
position at all times. Reclining the
vehicle seat will adversely affect the
performance of the seat in a crash.

Fasten the seat belt across your child.
The lap section of the seat belt should
rest on the red lower belt guides on
each side of the child seat (dia 2b).

IMPOR TANT – The lap section of

the seat belt should rest as forward
and as low as possible over your
child’s pelvis.

Remove as much slack as possible
from the seat belt and make sure it
is fitted comfortably, but tightly and
is not twisted (dia 2c).

IMPOR TANT – You must use the

upper belt guide at all times.

IMPOR TANT – Ensure that the

diagonal section of the belt lays over
the shoulder of the child and NOT
against the neck.

Tighten the seat belt by pulling the
diagonal section in the direction of
the arrow

(dia 2d).

If your vehicle has an adjust able seat
belt upper anchorage, adjust its
height so that the seat belt passes

through the centre of the upper belt
guide on the child seat and pull the
seat belt to tighten

.

IMPOR TANT – The child seat must

not be installed in a position where
the seat belt anchorage point is level
with, or forward of, the upper belt
guide (dia 2e).

Correct buckle position

IMPOR TANT – Once you have installed the child seat it is

important that you check the position of the seat belt buckle
to ensure a secure installation.

If the seat belt buckle looks like this then the seat belt buckle
position is correct (dia 2f).

If the seat belt buckle looks like this, where the buckle is being
pulled around the shell into the red lower belt guide (dia 2g),
try another seating position in the car.

IMPOR TANT – Do not leave your child seat loose. Always

fasten the seat belt across the child seat when it is not being
used by your child to prevent the seat being hurled for ward in
the event of an accident.

If the seat belt does not lie within the red lower belt guides
then the seat is not properly installed (dia 2h).

If you are in any doubt contact Customer Services on
01264 386034.

To release your child simply undo the seat belt.
