Information

This instruction manual covers various models under the Model number CS8113. These child restraints are installed in the rear of the vehicle and can be used either rearward-facing or forward-facing. They can be installed in the vehicle using the vehicle seatbelt & the top tether strap. This Convertible Car Seat is designed to be used by children from birth 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.

Twist & Lift™

This Child restraint has also been designed with ‘TWIST & LIFT” which features deep side wings that shield and contain your child’s head in a side impact crash. The TWIST & LIFT system is designed to be adjusted as your child grows which automatically repositions the harness at the same time.

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.

THE SUITABILITY OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT TO GROUPS OF CHILDREN

TYPE A4 To be used only in a rearward-facing position until the infant’s shoulders either reach the lower shoulder height marker (approximately 12 months of age) or reach the middle height marker (approx 2 to 3 years 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 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 the specic seating locations of children using child restraints for their given ages.

WARNING

The CS8113 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 CS8113 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.

Recline Angle

The vehicle installation is controlled by the angle of the vehicle seat, and these angles vary greatly between vehicles.The vehicle seat angle or the contours of the vehicle seat could place the child restraint either too upright or too recline. A rearward facing restraint should always be installed so that the back surface is reclined just enough to allow the infant’s head to lie back comfortably, but not more than 45º from vertical. This measurement is taken when your infant is laying in the child restraint and is in direct contact with this back surface, so it’s extremely import to maintain the required angle

NOTE: An accurate method of measuring the recline angle of your infant is to use a smart phone with a application that can measure angles but if using this method ensure the car is on a level surface.

IMPORTANT

Your infant should NEVER be too upright or too recline.

TOO UPRIGHT (less than 35º from vertical) could lead to the infants head opping

forward and potentially pinching off the airway.



0º

45º



TOO RECLINED (greater than 45º from vertical) could lead to the infants body

sliding ‘up’ towards the top of the restraint. Which could promote a compressive load on the spine and/or an extension load on the neck.

Setup

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

To adjust the headrest, lift the “TWIST & LIFT” ap on the headrest cover. Turn the red “TWIST & LIFT” knob clockwise to unlock the headrest (refer Figure 1).

Lift up or push down the headrest so that the shoulder strap slots are level with or slightly above your child’s shoulders. If the headrest is just above the shoulders then the harness level will be correct (refer Figure 2).

Release “TWIST & LIFT” knob so that it locks into position. Ensure that it has locked in position by gently pushing down on the headrest.

Loosen the harness straps before adjusting the headrest.

You do not need to remove the restraint from the vehicle to adjust the harness or headrest positions.

IMPORTANT

For comfort ensure the bottom edges of the headrest are not contacting the child’s shoulders.

When lowering the headrest ensure the headrest apron does not bunch up behind the childs neck.

• IF THE CHILD’S SHOULDERS TOUCH THE BOTTOM EDGES OF THE HEADREST SIDE WINGS, RAISE THE HEADREST TO THE NEXT HEADREST POSITION.

• THIS CHILD RESTRAINT DOES NOT REQUIRE THE STRAPS TO BE DISCONNECTED TO ADJUST THEIR HEIGHT, ONLY THE HEADREST NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO ADJUST THE SHOULDER STRAP POSITIONS.

IMPORTANT

ENSURE THE HARNESS STRAPS ARE ALWAYS

THREADED THROUGH THE HEADREST.

IMPORTANT

Correct tment of the harness is very important as it restrains the child in the restraint. The harness must t rmly around the upper torso of the child and be positioned to ensure the the child’s arms and legs are free.

Headrest & harness strap height adjustment cont...

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 22). If not then adjust the shoulder straps. Refer to “Shoulder slot height”.

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.

Push down on the base of the restraint (with knee or hand) whilst pulling the sash section of the vehicle belt rmly up in direction of the blue arrow in Figure 4. (This will tighten the lap belt across the seat base).

Whilst continuing to pull the sash section up, attach the Safe Grip red belt clamp on the sash section ONLY, as close as possible above the buckle tongue assembly. (Refer to Figure 5 and Instruction for installing the Safe Grip red clamp below)

Ensure the excess slack in the sash belt, is fed back towards the seat belt.

Step 4:

Step 5:

SAFE GRIP BELT CLAMP

The Safe Grip (red belt clamp) locks the lap belt to ensure a rm installation, and avoids slack in the lap belt.

To install the Safe Grip (red belt clamp), open it and clamp the “sash section” ONLY of the vehicle seat belt by closing the barrel section of the red belt clamp in the direction of arrow 1 in Figure 5 and then locking with the toggle section by pushing in the direction of arrow 2 in Figure 5 when the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) is secured in place, the lap section is now tightly holding your child restraint in place, independent of the sash section. The Safe Grip (red belt clamp) must be removed when the child restraint is not installed to allow other users to use the seat belt as a lap/sash seat belt. Always keep the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) in pocket provided when not in use.

The correct height for the shoulder straps is very important for the optimum performance of the restraint. The shoulder straps must be positioned nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not more than 25mm below the child’s shoulders.

There is only one set of slots so the seat will always have the shoulder straps in place once the headrest is positioned correctly, just above the child’s shoulders.

IMPORTANT

The shoulder straps must be positioned nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not more than 25mm below the child’s shoulders.

• IF THE CHILD’S SHOULDERS TOUCH THE BOTTOM EDGES OF THE HEADREST SIDE WINGS, RAISE THE HEADREST TO THE NEXT HEADREST POSITION.

• THIS CHILD RESTRAINT DOES NOT REQUIRE THE STRAPS TO BE DISCONNECTED TO ADJUST THEIR HEIGHT, ONLY THE HEADREST NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO ADJUST THE SHOULDER STRAP POSITIONS.

“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.

Insurers Information

If your restraint has been involved in a severe crash, you should destroy the 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 restraints to "Destroy the entire restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even if no damage is obvious". The Australian/New Zealand Standards committee, advise that this statement applies whether a child was in the child restraint or not. We consider a "severe crash" as being one where the main body structure of the vehicle is distorted. There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged and we concur with the Australian/New Zealand Standards in recommending 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.

Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.
