INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
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). 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.

Continue to use this child restraint in the rear facing mode
until the child's shoulders reach the limit of the lower or middle
shoulder height marker before turning the seat to face forward. A
younger child's neck muscles may be unable to support their head
thus the child 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 sufficient. If you have the
restraint check it fits in your car. The length may be longer when the headrest is raised when rear facing.
DO NOT USE RESTRAINT IN REARWARD FACING MODE WITHOUT
STABILISING BAR FULLY EXTENDED.
Do not use the restraint without the top tether strap correctly attached.
DO NOT USE A REAR FACING CHILD RESTRAINT WHERE AN
AIRBAG IS FITTED IN FRONT OF THE SEATING POSITION.
Do not use on any vehicle seat which faces sideways or rearwards.
Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car in the sun because of the risk of heat exhaustion.
Ensure babies and toddlers have adequate ventilation and are shaded from direct sunlight through side or
rear windows.
Do not allow the front seat to
alter the installed angle of the
restraint. It is permissible to
allow the restraint to touch the
front vehicle seat.
CHILD RESTRAINT UPPER ANCHORAGE FITTING
To use this child restraint, the car will need a child restraint upper anchorage fitting in the seating position
that you intend to use. Refer to the car owner's handbook.
The upper anchorage fitting is required for attaching the top tether in both rear facing mode and forward
facing mode covered later in the these instructions.
If no upper anchorage fitting is provided then you will need to install an upper anchorage fitting. Refer to
pages 83 to 86.

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 firm packing between the seat and the
underside of the base. Packing can be a firmly rolled up towel.
If the car's seat is flat then some packing may be required at the front edge of the base to achieve the
recline angle.
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

ADJUSTING HARNESS STRAP HEIGHT: FOR BABY USE REARWARD-
FACING
Correct fitment of the harness is very important as it restrains the child in the restraint. The harness must fit
firmly around the upper torso of the child and be positioned so as to leave the child’s arms and legs free.
In rearward facing mode, the shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest to the child’s
shoulders, but not lower than the child's shoulders. If your baby's shoulders have reached the lower
shoulder height marker then the restraint should be converted for “child use”(Refer to Forward-facing
section page 41).
The harness adjuster is fitted in different styles on different models. There is a push button adjuster that
must be pressed to loosen the harness and there is a lever operated adjuster that is fitted under a flap.
Check your child restraint to see which version you have.

The shoulder straps must be in the slots which
are nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not
lower than the child’s shoulders.
Shoulder straps must be threaded through the
appropriate shoulder strap slots then over the top of
the bar at rear of restraint.
STEPS IN CHANGING SHOULDER
STRAP SLOTS
A. Remove the restraint from vehicle.
B. At the rear of the restraint, remove one of the harness
shoulder straps from metal Strap Connector by slipping
strap through open slot.
C. Pull the shoulder strap through slot
toward the seating area.

D. Insert shoulder strap through restraint slot which will
position shoulder strap level with or nearest to the
child’s shoulder, then over the metal bar. Ensure that
the shoulder strap passes through the matching slots in
the cover and the restraint body.

1. The shoulder straps must be positioned in 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 once the headrest is positioned
correctly.
2. The padded insert may be used for smaller babies
in rearward facing mode.
3. Discontinue the use of the padded insert if there
is insufficient room for the child or shoulders have
reached the lower shoulder height marker.
When positioning baby into the restraint make sure
baby's back is fully supported onto the flat section
and the baby's nappy area (bottom) is resting in
the bottom curvature as shown. It is recommended
that bulky nappies are not used when baby is
travelling in the restraint as they can cause incorrect
positioning of the baby's back in the restraint.

HOW TO SETUP
E. Connect the shoulder strap to metal strap connector at rear of restraint, ensuring that there are no twists
in the shoulder strap. Ensure the strap passes over the bar.
F. Repeat for other shoulder strap. It is better to change one strap at a time so that the other strap will be a
guide for re-assembly.
If using the head pillow adjust the height using the adjusters so the side wings of the head pillow are just
above the shoulders. See page 64 for adjustment method.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the shoulder strap is threaded through the slot, then over the top of the bar at the rear of restraint
& connected to the metal strap connector.
Do not use the restraint with harness shoulder straps set at different heights or fed through mismatching
slots. Ensure harness straps are not twisted and that all straps are secure by pulling each harness strap.
Always adjust the height of the shoulder straps as the child grows.

REARWARD FACING
PLACING CHILD INTO RESTRAINT
A. Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted to the correct height
for your child (see page 30).
B. Slacken the top tether strap if not already slack and allow the
straps to fall to the sides of the restraint for easy access to
the child.
C. Loosen shoulder straps by pressing the harness adjuster or
lifting the lever and pull both shoulder straps evenly. Pull out
the desired amount of slack.
D. Place the two harness tongues into the Buckle Tongue
Holder (if fitted).
E. Place baby into child restraint lying on its back so that the
buckle is between the baby’s legs. Ensure that baby’s arms
and legs are free. Make sure baby is dressed to allow the
Harness Buckle to be pulled up between baby’s legs e.g. a
jump suit.
CAUTION:
Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled as this increases the risk of ejection and
injury or death in a crash. The harness needs to fit firmly to the baby, any blanket or other covering may
be placed over the harness after the harness is adjusted. Arms and legs must be free and not bound or
wrapped together. The legs must sit on each side of the crotch strap.
