WARNING: Your child car seat can only be installed rearward facing using a
three point lap and diagonal belt in the front or rear passenger seats of the car.

3 - general harness adjustment

It is recommended to adjust the harness length to fit your child, before installing the
child car seat into the car.

To tighten the shoulder straps, pull the webbing at the end of the system (a) until
achieving the fit and tension required.

To loosen off the shoulder straps push inwards the release catch under the flap (b)
and pull forward the shoulder straps (c) with the other hand keeping the catch pushed
down. Releasing the catch will secure the harness in place.

NOTE: The harness must be reasonably tight. It should restrain but not make the child
uncomfortable.

Check that the straps are not twisted while the child is seated.

4 - fastening harness buckle

Fit the two shoulder strap buckle parts together (a) and push into the crotch fitting (b)
until a firm click is heard. To open press the RED button (c).

5 - adjusting the shoulder strap and crotch strap position

The shoulder straps must be threaded through the slots in the child seat liner, child seat
cover and the child seat shell nearest the top of the child shoulders. If in any doubt
always use the slot above the shoulder rather than below it.

Loosen off the shoulder straps push inwards the release catch under the flap (a) and pull
forward the shoulder straps (b). Remove the shoulder straps off the harness
connector (c) at the rear of the seat.

Pull the child seat liner forward and pull the ends of the shoulder straps through the
slots in the seat (d).

There are four height positions for the shoulder straps. Push the ends of the shoulder

straps through the required slots in the seat (e) then refasten the shoulder strap ends to
the harness connector.

There are two positions for the crotch strap. To move the crotch strap, release the crotch
strap clip underneath the child car seat (f) and push the clip through the slot in the child
car seat and child car seat liner (g). Refit the Crotch strap by pushing the crotch strap clip
through the desired slot (h). Open out the crotch strap clip and pull back on the strap to
locate the clip to the bottom of the seat.

6 - correct position of shoulder straps

Adjust the height of the shoulder straps so they are level with, or just below child
shoulders. If in any doubt always use the slot above the shoulder rather than below it.

7 - changing the handle position

The handle can be placed in 4 different positions:

1. Fitted in the vehicle position

2. Carrying position

3. Stow position

4. Steady position
To change positions, push the button (a) on both sides of the handle and move the

handle rearward or forward.

8 - securing your child car seat

Put the handle in the position for fitting the child car seat to the vehicle (Position 1 in
Step 7). Place the child car seat onto the vehicle seat - rearward facing.
Pass the lap strap of the vehicle safety belt through the front strap guides (a). The lap
strap should fit below the blue stickers on the front strap guides.
Pass the vehicle seat diagonal belt through the guide on the back of the child car seat
(b). The blue sticker on the guide should be visible when the diagonal belt is fitted.
Ensure the strap fits under the handle (c).
Tighten by pulling the diagonal vehicle seatbelt that normally travels across the
passenger’s chest and fasten the vehicle seat belt (d).
Ensure that the child car seat is secure.
IMPORTANT: The position of the seat belt/lap strap buckle can affect the stability of the
child car seat. In an accident this could stop the child car seat from protecting your child
as well as it should. If, when the seat belt/lap strap belt is properly tightened, the buckle
lies in the position marked then try fitting the child car seat in another seating
position in your vehicle.

9 - fitting and using the hood

Noting the orientation of the hood bar (a), fit the hood by pushing the arms into the
hood hinges on each side of the seat (b) until they lock in place, secure the hood fabric
to the hood by fastening the press stud on both both side (c).

Removal of the hood is the reversal of this procedure.
Before adjusting the hood, put the carry handle in the vertical position. Raise the hood

until it locks in the up position (d). Push the hood back to lower (e).

10 - removing the harness and child car seat liner

Loosen off the shoulder straps push inwards the release catch under the flap (a) and pull
forward the shoulder straps (b). Remove the shoulder straps off the harness
connector (c) at the rear of the seat. Pull the ends of the shoulder straps through the
slots in the seat.

the slot in the child car seat and child car seat liner (e).

Remove one of the chest pads and pull the shoulder strap out of the buckle (f). Lift the
seat cover where the waist straps fit through the child car seat. Pull the shoulder strap/
waist strap through the seat cover and the underside of the seat (g). Keep pulling the
shoulder strap/waist strap from the seat and seat cover until it is clear of the seat (h).

Release the catch (a) then pull the harness adjuster strap out of the rear of the seat (i).
Refitting is a reversal of this procedure.

®

tab, at the top of the raincover (a) to allow access

to the carry handle.
Never leave raincover on indoors, in a hot atmosphere or near a heat source as your child

could overheat.

12 - removing the child car seat cover

maintenance

Inspect the child car seat regularly for signs of damage- stop using the product if any of
