Information

This instruction manual covers various models under the Model number CS4513 / CS4613.
These child restraints are installed in the rear of the vehicle and can be used either
rearward-facing or forward-facing. They can either be installed in the vehicle using the vehicle
seatbelt & the top tether strap, or if applicable, the exible Lower Anchorage Connector (LAC)
straps attached to the vehicle’s ISOFIX anchor & top tether strap. This Convertible Car Seat is
designed to be used by children from approximately 0 months of age up to approximately 4
years of age.

Air Cocoon Technology™ - A Protective Embrace

Air Cocoon Technology™ (A.C.T.) enhances protection by
dramatically reducing the impact forces during a crash. A.C.T.
utilises a layer of air held inside the entirety of the child restraint
shell, offering an increased level of protection across the entire
surface area of the restraint. Your child is quite literally cradled in
a cocoon of air, offering a true 180 degrees of protection to your
child's vital organs.

Air Cocoon Technology™ integrated child restraints start their life
as an actual pillow of air. This pillow is moulded into a child
restraint, retaining the pillow-like construction while adding
incredible strength and structural integrity. This manufacturing
process is called blow-moulding. Air Cocoon Technology™
(A.C.T.) is an all encompassing protective ‘cocoon’ around your child.

ISOFIX Compatible

The ISOFIX compatible system for Australia requires an ISOFIX
compatible child restraint that complies with the Australian/New
Zealand Standard 1754, which connects to a vehicle's ISOFIX
low anchorages and top tether anchorage point by using the child
restraint's rigid or exible lower attachment connectors and top
tether strap.
Note: ISOFIX compatible child restraints that comply with
AS/NZS 1754 will also be suitable for use in seating positions not
tted with ISOFIX low anchorages. To install the child restraint in
the vehicle it will require the use of the vehicle seatbelt and top
tether strap.
Rigid or exible connectors are incorporated into the design of
the child restraint at the time of manufacture and both types are
compatible with the vehicle's ISOFIX low anchorages.

No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in
every crash. However, to ensure that your child gets all the
protection designed into the restraint please read and follow the
instructions exactly and use only InfaSecure recommended parts
and accessories.

InfaSecure is an Australian owned and operated family business,
which can trace it's roots back over 60 years, becoming the
single largest Australian owned and operated child restraint
company in the country. Today, we are still growing, continuing to
innovate and provide high quality products at an affordable price.

IMPORTANT:

Research has shown that the likelihood of an accessory child safety harness being used incorrectly

is very high and the risk of injuries when incorrectly used is much higher compared to a lap-sash seat belt. InfaSecure

recommend that an accessory child safety harness should only be used if a lap-only seat belt is all that is available.

Infant Seat

(Rearward Facing)

THE SUITABILITY OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT TO GROUPS OF CHILDREN

TYPE A2
To be used only in a rearward-facing position until the infant’s shoulders reach the lower
shoulder height marker (approximately 12 months of age).

TYPE B
Then to be used in a forward-facing position until the child’s shoulders reach the upper
shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).

Continue to use this child restraint until the child reaches this limit.

Do not use forward-facing until child’s shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.

Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early.

Children are at risk of serious injury if they move to booster seats too early.

Children who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child restraint with an in-built
harness or a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the
restraint.

TO BE USED WITH A LAP-SASH/LAP-ONLY SEAT BELT OR ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN
THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING SEATS.

The use of child restraints in the front seat may be restricted for children of specic ages by
local legislation.

Please check with your local Department of Transport.

IMPORTANT

!

• For a vehicle without a xed parcel shelf an extension strap(s) may be needed.
If so ring [phone] for nearest supply location (refer to Page 49).

• Seatbelt extenders are not recommended to be used if the seatbelt is not long
enough to secure the child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then advice should be
sought from a child restraint tter and their recommendation be considered before
using a seatbelt extender.

Do not use the restraint without the upper anchorage strap correctly attached.

DO NOT USE A REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT WHERE AN AIRBAG IS FITTED IN
THE FRONT OF THE SEATING POSITION.

Do not use on any vehicle seat which faces sideways or rearward.

WARNING

!

The CS4513/CS4613 Child restraint has been designed and tested to meet the joint
Australian/New Zealand Standard with an inbuilt anti rebound feature and does not require
additional anti rebound bars or mechanisms to full these requirements.

The CS4513/CS4613 Child restraint has also been designed to be a compact restraint to
enable multiple restraints to be used in the rear of most vehicles.

The Purchaser should check the measurement between the
front of the seat back of the rear seat and all front seats in the
car in which the child restraint is intended to be used, to
ensure that the space is sufcient.

Care and attention should be given to ensure that the baby has adequate ventilation
and shading when in the restraint.

To achieve the necessary distribution of deceleration forces during a vehicle impact,
ensure the child is seated correctly in the child restraint and the harness is tted and
adjusted as per these instructions.

Ensure the child restraint and child are rearward facing.

There is a real concern about the potential for an infant to be ejected and killed if the
baby is wrapped in a blanket or swaddled. The harness needs to t the baby rmily and
any blanket or other covering may only be placed over the harness after the harness is
adjusted rmly. The infants legs are not to be bound or wrapped together and the arms
are not to be bound or wrapped together.

Correct Shoulder Height

The correct height for the shoulder straps is very
important for the optimum performance of the
restraint.

With the child correctly sitting in the restraint, check which set of slots (In the plastic shell of
the restraint) are level with or just above the infant’s shoulders.

If the harness straps are located in those slots, then the you can proceed with using the
restraint (see section “USE” on page 24). If not then adjust the shoulder straps. Refer to
“Shoulder slot height” (on page 14).

IMPORTANT

!

The shoulder straps must be in the slots which
are nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not
lower than the child’s shoulders.

ISOFIX Compatible Restraint

Infant Seat

ISOFIX lower anchorages

Newer vehicles have one or more seating positions
with ISOFIX anchorages. If the vehicle is equipped
with ISOFIX anchorage, the lower anchor points may
be visible at the vehicle seat bight . If not visible, they
may be marked with this symbol.

See your vehicle owner’s manual for exact locations,
anchor identication, and requirements for use with a
child restraint.

Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top tether
anchor locations. They may be identied using one of
the anchor symbols as shown.

This restraint uses Flexible Lower Anchorage
Connector Straps. Flexible connectors: A pair of
exible straps with connectors are located at the
base of the child restraint which connect to the
vehicle's ISOFIX low anchorages. The exible
connectors are then adjusted to secure the child
restraint rmly to the vehicle. The top tether strap
must be anchored to the vehicle. The vehicle seatbelt
will not be required when the exible connectors are
being used.

ISOFIX low anchorages are built in to the vehicle at
the time of manufacture, if the vehicle manufacturer
chooses to provide them. The number of ISOFIX low
anchorages will depend on the design of the vehicle.
Generally, ISOFIX low anchorages are located on the
two outer seating positions in the second row, and
not in the middle seating position.
If you wish to use the middle seating position in the
second row, you may still t an ISOFIX compatible
child restraint in the middle position by using the
vehicle seatbelt and top tether strap.

IMPORTANT

!

ONLY use exible LAC straps on the child
restraint in a seating position recommended
by vehicle manufacturer.

Child Car Seat

(Forward Facing)

THE SUITABILITY OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT TO GROUPS OF CHILDREN

TYPE A2
To be used only in a rearward-facing position until the infant’s shoulders reach the lower
shoulder height marker (approximately 12 months of age).

TYPE B
Then to be used in a forward-facing position until the child’s shoulders reach the upper
shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).

Continue to use this child restraint until the child shoulders reaches this limit.

Do not use forward-facing until child’s shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.

Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early.

Children are at risk of serious injury if they move to booster seats too early.

Children who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child restraint with an in-built
harness or a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the
restraint.

TO BE USED WITH A LAP-SASH/LAP-ONLY SEAT BELT OR ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN
THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING SEATS.

The use of child restraints in the front seat may be restricted for children of specic ages by
local legislation.

Please check with your local Department of Transport.

• For a vehicle without a xed parcel shelf an extension strap(s) may be needed.
If so ring [phone] for nearest supply location.

• Seatbelt extenders are not recommended to be used if the seatbelt is not long enough to
secure the child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then advice should be sought from a
child restraint tter and their recommendation be considered before using a seatbelt
extender.

IMPORTANT

Smaller Child from
approximately 12 months of age

If moving a child from rearward-facing child restraint, to forward facing child restraint the
child’s shoulders will need to be inline or above the lower label. If the child’s shoulders are
below the lower label or if the baby’s neck muscles are unable to support their head, then
the child should remain rearward-facing.

When using the inbuilt harness the child’s shoulders must be in-line or above this marker

ISOFIX lower anchorages

Newer vehicles have one or more seating positions
with ISOFIX anchorages. If the vehicle is equipped
with ISOFIX anchorage, the lower anchor points may
be visible at the vehicle seat bight . If not visible, they
may be marked with this symbol.

See your vehicle owner’s manual for exact locations,
anchor identication, and requirements for use with a
child restraint.

Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top tether
anchor locations. They may be identied using one of
the anchor symbols as shown.

This restraint uses Flexible Lower Anchorage
Connector Straps. Flexible connectors: A pair of
exible straps with connectors are located at the
base of the child restraint which connect to the
vehicle's ISOFIX low anchorages. The exible
connectors are then adjusted to secure the child
restraint rmly to the vehicle. The top tether strap
must be anchored to the vehicle. The vehicle seatbelt
will not be required when the exible connectors are
being used.

ISOFIX low anchorages are built in to the vehicle at
the time of manufacture, if the vehicle manufacturer
chooses to provide them. The number of ISOFIX low
anchorages will depend on the design of the vehicle.
Generally, ISOFIX low anchorages are located on the
two outer seating positions in the second row, and
not in the middle seating position.
If you wish to use the middle seating position in the
second row, you may still t an ISOFIX compatible
child restraint in the middle position by using the
vehicle seatbelt and top tether strap.

IMPORTANT

!

ONLY use exible LAC straps on the child
restraint in a seating position recommended
by vehicle manufacturer.

Care should be taken, if children either eat or drink while in the restraint, as some food or
drink products may cause damage or marking to the cover. Wash or clean immediately.
Do not pull sticky items from covers as the cover may be damaged - soak in water and
gently remove.

Only machine wash on gentle cycle (hand washing is recommended). When washing the
covers, ensure the hook and loop attachment strips are connected to eliminate other
materials or garments being caught. Ensure that the hook and loop attachment strips are
free of lint, this will ensure a positive engagement.

Use only mild soap and water to clean all webbing, metal and plastic parts of the restraint
using a damp cloth.
Do not use chemicals or cleaning agents.

Cleaning

Covers

Seat + Hardware

“CLICK”

If sticky liquids such as baby formula, fruit juice, etc.
get inside your Harness Buckle, it may become sluggish.
An indication of a sluggish Harness Buckle is that you
cannot hear a “CLICK” when engaging the Harness
Tongues. To restore the Harness Buckle to good working
order it needs to be cleaned as follows:

From the underside of the restraint pull each crotch 3-bar
slide then turn 3-bar slide and push through each slot to
remove the Harness Buckle from the restraint (refer Figure 1).

Place the Harness Buckle under warm (max. 40 degrees
Celsius) running water as shown below. Let the water run
through the mouth of the buckle for ve minutes (refer
Figure 2).

Engage and disengage the Harness Tongues and Buckles
several times until a strong audible “CLICK” is heard
when inserting the last tongue (refer Figure 3).

If you still cannot hear a strong audible click after
engaging the Harness Tongues and Buckle, then repeat
cleaning several times. If the Harness Buckle cannot be
returned to its original working condition then contact
InfaSecure Customer Service 02 4720 8090.

Ret the harness buckle to the restraint with the red
button facing out and feeding each 3-bar slide through
appropriate slot. Always ensure the webbing crotch straps
are throughly dryed before installing.

restraint even if no damage is obvious. Some insurance companies offer vehicle
insurance which covers or partially covers the replacement of your child restraint.
Contact your insurance company for further details.
Your insurance company may require you to keep the child restraint for assessment,
but do not use the child restraint after a severe crash. To assist you in making an
accident insurance claim cut the following statement and include it with your claim.

NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANY CHILD RESTRAINT INVOLVED
IN AN ACCIDENT

All InfaSecure child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand
Standards AS/NZS1754 which requires us to advise users of child

destruction of the child restraint.
This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the Australian/New
Zealand Standards and our obligation in complying with the standards.
