WARNINGS
TO BE USED WITH A LAP-SASH/LAP ONLY SEAT BELT IN THE FRONT/BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD-FACING SEATS.
For a vehicle without a xed parcel shelf an extension strap(s) may be needed. If so ring [phone]
for nearest supply location. This restraint must be attached to a child restraint anchorage point in the car.
Refer to car owner’s handbook for location of anchorage points. Refer to a child restraint tting station if
no car anchorage points are in the motor vehicle. Before installation please read the whole instructions
carefully on installation and if in doubt about the method of installation please consult Infa Products or
a child restraint tting station authorised by the relevant transport authority. In New Zealand, consult the
agent for the vehicle.
Connect and use the restraint exactly as shown in the instructions. Fit the restraint rmly to the car seat.
Fit the harness rmly to the child. A loose restraint or harness is dangerous. Supervision of children is
needed because they may be able to undo buckles.
Repairs must only be done by the manufacturer or agent. Do not alter or modify this restraint. Do not
allow the restraint to come into contact with polishes, oils, bleach and other chemicals. Destroy the
restraint if it has been in a severe crash, even if no damage is visible. Seat belt extenders should not be
used if the seat belt is not long enough to secure the child restraint.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Regular care of the restraint will ensure safety of your child.
(A) Check the webbing for fraying.
(B) Check that the buckle clicks and is not sluggish or sticky in operation.
(C) Ensure there are no cracks in moulding or the plastic moulding.
(D) Check the harness adjuster is operating and is clamping the webbing.
IMPORTANT: Care must be taken that food, sticky liquids (eg fruit juice, milk formulas, etc) does not get inside
your harness buckle as it may become sluggish. If you do not hear an audible click when engaging the buckle it
may mean it is becoming sluggish. Immediately contact Infa Products so that it can be cleaned and checked to
ensure it is operating properly.

Normally this restraint is used in the rear seat but in certain vehicle types, e.g. sports cars/mini cars, etc, where the rear
seat is too small, the only possible position is the front passenger seat, adjusted as rearward as possible. The tether strap
must be attached to the anchorage point provided, and corresponding rear seating position should not be used. (An
extension strap may be required to reach the anchorage point certain instances). [Extension strap Part No. CCS003]
WARNINGS: To ensure baby’s back is evenly supported, do not put more than one nappy on the baby and make
sure the nappy is not thickly folded at the back. DO NOT USE REAR FACING CHILD RESTRAINT WHERE
AN AIRBAG IS FITTED IN FRONT OF THE SEATING POSITION. Fit the restraint rmly to the car seat. Fit the
harness rmly to the child. A loose restraint or harness is dangerous. THIS TETHER STRAP MUST ALWAYS BE
FITTED WHEN THE CHILD RESTRAINT IS USED IN A VEHICLE. (see gure 4).

HOW TO USE FOR CHILD (8-18 KG) - Forward Facing Mode
ADJUSTING RECLINE ANGLE
IMPORTANT STEPS RE HARNESS ADJUSTMENT AND USE
CORRECT SHOULDER HEIGHT FOR FORWARD FACING MODE
The correct height for the shoulder straps is very important for the
optimum performance of the restraint. The shoulder straps must
be positioned no lower than 25mm below the top of the child’s
shoulders. If the harness straps are more than 25mm below the level
of the child’s shoulders then the child is too large for the restraint
and should not be used (see gure 13). The shoulder strap slots
used in forward facing position are the upper and middle positions.
Step 1: Turn the restraint so that the back of the seat is facing
you.
Step 2: Remove each shoulder harness through the gates in the
spreader plate (see gure 14).
Step 3: Pull the shoulder harness straps through the shoulder slot
holes in the seat body and cover. They are now loose in
the front of the seat.
Step 4: Push the ends of the shoulder harness straps through the
appropriate shoulder slot holes in the cover and seat body
for the child’s shoulder height. (see above for correct shoulder
height for forward facing, page 4 for rearward facing).
Step 5: The shoulder harness straps go directly from the shoulder
slot holes to the spreader plate. Thread each shoulder
harness strap back onto the metal spreader plate through
the gate (see Figure 14).

IMPORTANT STEPS RE HARNESS ADJUSTMENT AND USE
Step 1: Lengthen the harness in excess of what is needed before placing the baby in the car seat. To lengthen the harness, push the
harness adjuster that is located at the front of the seat (see gure. 5) whilst grasping both shoulder harness straps and pulling
out till lengthened to the desired amount. Ensure shoulder straps are pulled equally on each side.
Step 2: Place baby/child in car seat with legs either side of the crotch strap, place harness over the shoulders and hips and engage the
two buckle tongues (CLICK) into buckle. CHECK IT IS PROPERLY ENGAGED. Ensure child is placed centrally in the seat. If the
model has an adjustable headrest, adjust and lock into a position that gives maximum head protection.
Step 3: Whilst pushing the harness adjuster (G) down to “deactivate it”
and pull harness adjuster strap (H) to take the slack out of the
harness until it is a rm but comfortable t. Ensure buckle is
adjusted centrally in relation to the child. Adjust if necessary.
Step 4: If upper anchorage strap has been loosened to allow easier
placing of the baby in the restraint, tighten the upper anchorage
strap so it has no slack in it. DO NOT TIGHTEN EXCESSIVELY.
To remove child from the restraint press the red harness buckle release
button which releases buckle tongues from the buckle. Move each
shoulder strap to the child’s side to allow easy access to the child.
Remove the child.

Step 1: Remove the restraint from the rearward facing mode.
Swing recline section to the rear of the base and ‘click’
into position (Refer to Figure 6).
Step 2: Place the restraint in desired upright or reclined position,
with the back against the back of the vehicle seat,
directly in line with the anchorage point.
Step 3: Fold the rear of seat base cover and foam to expose
the seating surface of the base. Pass the lap and sash
sections of the vehicle belt under the rst hook (K1),
across the seat base under the second hook (K2) and
“click” the buckle tongue in the buckle. (Refer to Figure 7)
Important notes: (1) The vehicle belt is now located
across the seat base. (2) The belt path is shown by the
yellow arrows in Figure 7.
Step 4: Push down on the base of the restraint (with knee or hand)
whilst pulling the sash section of the vehicle belt rmly
up in direction of the yellow arrow in gure 8.This will
make the lap belt very tight across the seat base. Whilst
continuing to pull the sash section up (i.e maintaining
tightness of the lap section) attach the red belt clamp on
the sash section as close as possible above the buckle
tongue. (Refer to Figure 10 and instruction for installing
the red clamp below) Tighten sash section of belt across
the base. Place layer of foam and seat cover back into
position over the top of the vehicle belt.
NOTE: To install the red clamp, open it and clamp the
“sash section” of the vehicle seat belt by closing the barrel
section of the red belt clamp in the direction of arrow 1
in gure 10 and then locking with the toggle section by
pushing in the direction of arrow 2 in gure 10 when the
belt clamp is secured in place, the lap section is now
tightly holding your child restraint in place, independent
of the sash section. Always keep the red clamp in pocket
provided when not in use.
Step 5: Attach the upper anchorage strap/clip to the anchor
tting (point F). The anchor tting must be secured to
the vehicle as per instructions on page 2. Adjust upper
anchorage strap (E) by pulling webbing through adjuster
(C). To lengthen, lift adjuster to release webbing and then
lengthen. Ensure upper anchorage strap is adjusted
rmly. (Refer to Figure 11).
