child restraint for this age group.
This child restraint has been classified as “Universal” under more
stringent conditions than those which applied to earlier designs which do
not carry this notice.
This child restraint is ONLY SUITABLE for use in vehicles fitted with

regulation No. 16 or other equivalent standards.
If in doubt, contact the child restraint manufacturer or the retailer.

performance in the event of a collision. NEVER remove or replace the

Co.

Using the harness safely
The harness buckle SHOULD ALWAYS be easily accessible. It is
important that your child can be released quickly in the event of an
emergency.
Fit the harness firmly to the child. A loose restraint or harness is
DANGEROUS.

The carry handle MUST be set in the correct position when used.
Do not use this child restraint as a substitute baby cot or

vehicles. NEVER leave a baby in the child restraint for long periods of
time.

Adjusting the harness height
1. Do the harness up. 2. Turn the capsule over and
locate the metal splitter plate
that the ends of the harness
webbing are connected to.
WARNING: Do not allow the harness to become twisted.
The harness should be snug against your child’s body.
Note: There are three height positions for the harness. As your child
grows, it is necessary to move the harness according to your child’s
shoulder height. The harness should be inserted through the slots in the
capsule shell that are positioned at about level with or just below your
child’s shoulders. Do not move the harness up to the next slot until
your child’s shoulders have reached the slot that you are moving the
harness into.
