Shoulder height markers are provided on this restraint for a visual indication that the child is safe to ride in
this restraint. Do not turn to forward-facing until the child's shoulder's reach the lower marker.
Do not continue to use the restraint if the child's shoulders are above the top marker.
When the child's shoulders reach the lower marker, the child restraint must be turned to face towards the
front of the vehicle or move the child to another Rearward or Forward Facing seat with in built harness.
Approximately 6 months of age.
LOWER SHOULDER HEIGHT MARKER : Label A

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.
A baby's neck muscles maybe unable to support their head thus the baby should remain in rear facing
until the neck muscles become stronger.
The purchaser should check the measurements 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. If you have the restraint check it ts in your car.

CHANGING SHOULDER STRAP SLOTS: FOR BABY USE REARWARD-FACING
A. If using the seat for the rst time, you may need to
use the second set of shoulder strap slots rather
than the lowest pair of slots. Place baby in the seat
and check which shoulder strap slots are best.
B. If tted in the car, remove the restraint from vehicle
as instructed on page 25.
C. To slacken Harness Straps, lift Harness Adjustment
Lever then grasp both shoulder harness straps and
pull outwards.
D. At the rear of the restraint, remove one of the
harness shoulder straps from metal Strap Connector
by slipping strap through open slot. It is better to
change one strap at a time.

ADJUSTING HARNESS STRAP HEIGHT: FOR BABY USE REARWARD-FACING
Correct tment of the harness is very
important as it restrains the baby in the
restraint. The harness must t rmly
around upper torso of the baby and be
positioned so as to leave the baby's arms
and legs free.
For babies in rear facing mode, the infants
shoulders must be below the lower
shoulder height marker. If your baby has
reached the lower shoulder height marker
then the restraint must be converted for
“Child Use”. (Refer to Forward Facing
section starting on page 26).
The shoulder straps must be in the slots
which are nearest to the child's shoulders,
but not lower than the child's shoulders
when in rear facing mode.

IMPORTANT:
If using an Extension Strap, positioning the Attachment Clip above the baby may lead to injury in an
accident therefore make sure that the Attachment Clip is not positioned in front of the vehicle seat.
ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT OF RESTRAINT
Some vehicle seats have more rearward slope than others. If the angle of the seat causes the baby to
be too upright for comfort, the angle may be altered by placing a rm packing between the seat and
the underside of the base. Packing can be a rmly rolled up towel or nappy.
Do not remove all of the rearward slope by over packing. Always leave a rearward slope angle of
approximately 10 to 15 degrees as shown below.
