• A loose restraint or harness is dangerous.

• Do not use in a front seat, unless it has a child restraint anchorage point and your child is over 4 years of

age or in accordance with the applicable Road Rules in your region.

• Do not use the restraint without the Upper Anchorage Strap correctly attached.

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

• WHERE AN AIRBAG IS FITTED IN THE SEATING POSITION WHERE THE CHILD RESTRAINT IS TO BE FITTED, FOLLOW THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

• IMPORTANT: Use lap or lap-sash seat belt and upper anchorage strap to attach the child restraint to the

vehicle seat.

• Ensure that the Lap Belt Positioning Clip is stored in the recess under the cover when the seat is used in

Toddler mode, so as to avoid injury or discomfort.

SUITABLE FOR USE

INSTALLATION AND USE OF RESTRAINT

For Toddlers who have reached the shoulder height limit on their infant restraint refer to pages 10-25. For Children who have reached the middle shoulder height marker and need to use a booster seat refer to pages 26-53.

HARNESS ADJUSTMENT

To slacken the harness lift the harness adjuster lever and pull both shoulder straps with the other hand.

HOW TO USE THE HEADREST

First remove both harness straps (Refer to page 16). Then rotate lever down to loosen headrest clamp (a). Slide the headrest up or down to suit the height of your child, (refer to page 14 for toddler use or page 32 for child use). In toddler mode, move the headrest so that the bottom slots in the headrest line up with the top of the child's shoulders. Then move the headrest so that the slots line up with the nearest slots in the shell. Ensure that the shoulder slots are correctly aligned with the shoulders otherwise, move up to the next set of slots in the shell. Rotate the lever upward to tighten the headrest clamp (b). Then ret both harness straps, ensuring that there are no twists and that each strap is in the correct and matching slots in both the seat shell and headrest (Refer to page 17).

UPPER ANCHORAGE

There needs to be an anchor tting in the car behind the desired

seating position. Refer to your car owner’s manual for the

location of the anchor tting. If the car is not tted with a child restraint anchor tting then refer to page 59 for the installation of the anchor tting provided with this child restraint.

TODDLER USE: WITH IN-BUILT HARNESS

HOW TO SET-UP

ADJUSTING HARNESS STRAP HEIGHT & HEADREST:

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 so as to leave the child's arms and legs free.

FOR TODDLER USE:

The shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not more than 25mm below the child's shoulders. If shoulders are above the middle shoulder height marker then the child is too large for toddler use with the in-built harness and the restraint must then be converted for child use as a booster seat. (Booster Seat Mode - see pages 26 onwards).

Note: If child’s shoulders touch the headrest side wings, Raise the headrest to the next shoulder strap position. Typically slots (1), (2) and (3) will be used with the in-built harness.

IMPORTANT:

You must adjust the crotch strap to the correct length for your child before installing the restraint as it cannot be adjusted in the car. The crotch strap should only be extended if the harness tongues are located low against your child's legs, thus creating discomfort. The buckle should always be positioned low down on your child's body. DO NOT attempt to remove the crotch strap from the adjuster. Adjustment is made by feeding the crotch strap through the adjuster as shown and does not need to be removed from the seat.

SETTING UP THE HARNESS

A. Sit the restraint against a wall for stability and get the child to sit

comfortably in position.

B. Determine the desired headrest and shoulder strap position as

described on pages 13 and 14.

C. Remove the child and adjust the buckle strap and shoulder straps

using the following methods.

D. Conrm the correct set-up of the in-built harness, and repeat

steps A, B and C if required.

Adjusting the Crotch Buckle Height

Seats are tted with an adjustable length crotch strap where

the webbing needs to be threaded through a 3 bar adjuster plate, as follows;

A. Locate the crotch strap adjuster under the seat (turn seat

upside down).

B. To change the length of the crotch strap, thread through the

adjuster in the direction of the arrows shown and remove any slack.

C. Adjust the crotch buckle to the correct position for your child.

With the centre of the buckle button level with the top of the child's thighs, the buckle is in an ideal position. Ensure that the harness tongues do not push into your child's thighs as this will cause discomfort.

D. Check the buckle position on the child after adjustment.

The Lap Belt Positioning Clip MUST always be used to position the lap belt on the child's thighs. The lap belt must not be on the abdomen. The crotch strap must be adjusted so it is not too high or too low. DO NOT attempt to remove the crotch strap from the adjuster.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE THE LAP BELT POSITIONING CLIP

Headrest no more than 30mm above the shoulder.

When used as a Booster Seat using either a lap-sash seatbelt or child harness and seatbelt, adjust the headrest so that the sides of the headrest are no more than 30mm above. If the upper anchorage strap is still attached to the car, rotate the seat and unlock the headrest to move

it when required to t the child. Lock the headrest

by rotating the lever upwards. (for headrest adjustment see page 13)

SETTING UP AS A BOOSTER SEAT

NOTE: The Lap Belt Positioning Clip ensures that the child does not slump and ensures the lap belt is always positioned on the child’s hips and thighs. If the seat belt rides up on to the stomach then a child can be seriously injured in a crash.

A. Unlock the headrest (see page 13)

B. Sit the restraint against a wall for stability and get the child to

sit comfortably in position.

C. Adjust the headrest so that the sides are just above the child's

shoulder.

HOW TO INSTALL WITH A CHILD HARNESS

CHOOSING METHOD OF INSTALLATION

The Child Harness can be installed using either of the following methods.

METHOD 1 : Using a lap sash seat belt in conjunction with Gated 3-bar Slide (provided with the Child Harness) to convert to lap belt plus upper anchorage strap.

METHOD 2 : Using lap seat belt plus upper anchorage strap. Before installing the Child Harness determine which method of installation is required and follow instructions carefully.

When using the Child Harness, ensure the 'in-built ' shoulder harness is stored and set up the Lap Belt Positioning Clip - Refer to pages 29-32.

If required to be in recline position, recline foot rearwards.

METHOD 1: USING LAP-SASH SEAT BELT WITH CHILD HARNESS. (Using Gated Slide provided with Child Harness).

Refer to Child Harness instruction to t gated slide.

Adjust the headrest to align with the top shoulder slots of the restraint. Fit the Child Harness as shown above. Then connect the cross strap as shown below. Thread the converted lap-sash seat belt through the harness strap loops as shown right.

METHOD 2: USING LAP SEAT BELT WITH CHILD HARNESS.

Adjust the headrest to align with the top shoulder slots of the restraint. Fit the Child Harness as shown above. Then connect the cross strap as shown below. Thread the lap seat belt through the harness strap loops as shown right.

NOTE: THIS BOOSTER SEAT MAY ONLY BE SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A CHILD HARNESS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. IN THE RECLINE POSITION, THE CAR’S SEATBELT MAY NOT BE LONG ENOUGH.

Note: Some vehicle seat belts are too short and you may experience some difculty tting the converted lap-

sash around your child. If so, adjust the gated slide nearer to your child, ideally under the armrest and lap belt

recess area, (ensure the slide does not touch your child). This should provide more belt length to t your child, but if the belt still will not t, try another location in the vehicle, e.g. side seat. If the vehicle belts are still too

short, then contact the vehicle manufacturer for advice on longer seat belts.

B. The two straps should slide freely in the Gated Slide slot.

C. Repeat previous step A for the

other slot in the Gated Slide.

D. Feed the straps through the Gated Slide to remove

any slack. This has now converted the lap-sash seat belt so it will act like a lap only seat belt.

TO ENSURE CORRECT CONVERSION OF LAP-SASH SEAT BELT TO LAP SEAT BELT FOLLOW THESE STEPS.

IMPORTANT:

The Gated Slide must be removed from the seat belt if the booster seat and child harness are no longer used in the car so that other users can use the seat belt as a lap sash seat belt.

A seat belt extender should not be used if the seat belt is not long enough to secure the child. If a seat belt extender is used then the buckle must not be in contact with the child.

Precautions to prevent reducing the safety

offered by this child restraint.

With In-built Harness

1. Ensure seatbelt is tted rmly to the seat.

2. Ensure upper anchorage strap is attached to the car's anchor tting and slack is removed.

3. Ensure the in-built harness is rmly tted to the child. A loose harness is dangerous.

As a Booster Seat

1. Ensure the seatbelt is used and tted correctly. The lap belt must be on thighs and not the abdomen and the

sash belt must always be across the chest and over the shoulder.

2. Always thread the sash belt through sash guide.

3. Always use the Lap Belt Positioning Clip.

4. Ensure the child does not slouch or slump where the sash belt is across the abdomen. This is dangerous.

5. Do not place the seatbelt behind the back or under the arm. It is dangerous.

6. Do not use the seat belt in any other way other than following the red

BOOSTER SEATBELT PATH seat belt

path labels.

7. Ensure that if you are using a child safety harness that the lap belt is rm on the child’s thighs and not on

the abdomen. Do not tighten the Child Harness tether strap, just remove slack.

8. Ensure you advise the child not to undo the seat belt buckle unless told to do so.

9. Always use the Sash Guide set at the correct height to guide the sash across the chest and over the

shoulder.
