SUITABLE FOR USE: REARWARD-FACING
TO BE USED WITH A LAP SASH OR LAP ONLY SEAT BELT IN
THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD-FACING SEATS.
To be used only in a rearward-facing position until the
child's shoulders reach the lower shoulder height marker
(approximately 12 months of age). Then to be used in
forward-facing position until the shoulders reach the upper
shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).
Continue to use this restraint in this rear facing mode until the
child's shoulders reach the limit of the lower shoulder height
marker before turning the seat to face forward. A baby's neck
muscles may be unable to support their head thus the baby
should remain 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.
Regional Road Rules may prohibit the use of this restraint
in the front seat until the child is 4 years of age. Check your
Regional Road Rules for exemptions.

ADJUSTING HARNESS STRAP HEIGHT & HEADREST:
FOR BABY USE REARWARD-FACING

positioned so as to leave the baby's arms and legs free.
For babies in rear facing mode the headrest must be in the position where the top of the shoulder strap
slots are nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not lower than the child’s shoulders. Instructions for
adjusting the headrest is on the next page. If your baby has reached the lower shoulder height marker
then the restraint should be converted for “child use” (Refer to Forward Facing section starting on
page 29).
1. The shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest to the child's shoulders, but not lower
than the child's shoulders. There is only one set of slots so the seat will always have the shoulder
straps in place.
2. Use the Infant Safety Cushion Insert when rear facing for smaller babies until their shoulders reach
the Lower Shoulder Height Marker. Remove the Infant Safety Cushion for longer use whilst still in rear
facing.

ADJUSTING HARNESS
STRAP HEIGHT AND
HEADREST: FOR CHILD USE
FORWARD-FACING
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.
The headrest must be in the position
where the top of the shoulder slots are
nearest to the child’s shoulders, but
not more than 25mm below the child’s
shoulders. If the headrest is in the top
position and the shoulders are above the
upper shoulder height marker then the
child is too tall for the restraint and the
restraint should not be used; move to
next type of restraint (see pages 8 and 9).
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.
Note: This child restraint does not require the strap to be disconnected to adjust their height, only the
headrest needs to be moved to adjust the shoulder strap position.

ADJUSTING AHR TILT & ADJUST
HEADREST AND HARNESS STRAP
HEIGHT
A. Loosen the harness straps before adjusting the
headrest.
B. You do not need to remove the restraint from the
vehicle to adjust the harness or headrest positions.
Small adjustments maybe done with the child the
seat, the child will need to lean forward to allow the
headrest to be pulled forward.
C. To adjust the headrest, gently pull the top of
the headrest forward and then pull up or push
down 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.
NOTE: For comfort ensure the bottom edges of the
headrest are not contacting the child’s shoulders.
D. Release headrest so that it moves back and
locks into position. Ensure that it has locked in
position by gently pushing down on it.
E. Ensure there are no twists in the harness strap
and the buckle tongues face the correct way.
F. If the headrest is moved up, then down with
the child in the seat, before use, check that the
headrest cover has not bunched up behind child’s
back.
