Information
This instruction manual covers various models under the Model number CS5413 SERIES II.
This Booster Seat is designed to be used by children from approximately 4 years of age up
to approximately 8 years of age. This booster seat is installed in the rear of the car,
forward-facing using the vehicle seatbelts & top tether strap.
Air Cocoon Technology™ - A Protective Embrace
Air Cocoon Technology™ (A.C.T.) enhances protection by
dramatically reducing the impact forces during a crash. A.C.T.
utilises a layer of air held inside the entirety of the child restraint
shell, offering an increased level of protection across the entire
surface area of the restraint. Your child is quite literally cradled in
a cocoon of air, offering a true 180 degrees of protection to your
child's vital organs.
Air Cocoon Technology™ integrated child restraints start their
life as an actual pillow of air. This pillow is moulded into a child
restraint, retaining the pillow-like construction while adding
incredible strength and structural integrity. This manufacturing
process is called blow-moulding.
Air Cocoon Technology™ (A.C.T.) is an all encompassing protective
‘cocoon’ around your child.
Child Restraints
No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury
in every crash. However, to ensure that your child gets all the
protection designed into the restraint please read and follow the
instructions exactly and use only InfaSecure recommended
parts and accessories.

IMPORTANT: Research has shown that the likelihood of an accessory child safety harness being used incorrectly
is very high and the risk of injuries when incorrectly used is much higher compared to a lap-sash seat belt. InfaSecure
recommend that an accessory child safety harness should only be used if a lap-only seat belt is all that is available.

shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age) until the child’s shoulders reach
the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 6 to 8 years of age).
Continue to use this booster seat until the child reaches this limit. Children are safest in a
booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the booster
seat.
Do not use this booster seat until child’s shoulders are above the lower shoulder height
marker.
If the knees do not bend in front of the vehicle seat cushion continue to use a booster seat.
Just using a seatbelt is not recommended for children that have outgrown this seat. Use a
larger booster seat.
THIS RESTRAINT MUST BE USED IN CARS WITH FORWARD-FACING SEATS WITH A
LAP-SASH SEATBELT. THIS BOOSTER SEAT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A CHILD

The use of child restraints in the front seat may be restricted for children of specic ages by
local legislation. Please check with your local Department of Transport for the specic
seating locations of children using child restraints for their given ages.
• For a vehicle without a xed parcel shelf an extension strap(s) may be needed.
If so ring [phone] for nearest supply location.
• Seatbelt extenders are not recommended to be used if the seatbelt is not long enough to
secure the child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then advice should be sought from a
child restraint tter and their recommendation be considered before using a seatbelt
extender.

Figure 5
SAFE GRIP BELT CLAMP
It is important that the lap belt must be firmly across
the thighs. The Safe Grip locks the lap belt to
ensure a rm t across the thighs, and avoids slack in
the lap belt. This t ensures that the lap belt does not
ride up into the soft abdominal region of the child,
which may cause internal injury.
To install the Safe Grip (red belt clamp);
Continue from Step 6: while holding the belts tight
open the Safe Grip 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 3 (refer
Figure 6) and then locking with the toggle section
by pushing in the direction of arrow 4 (refer Figure
6) Note: Positioned as close as possible to the
buckle and tongue. When the Safe Grip (red belt
clamp) is secured in place, the lap section is now
tightly holding your child in place, independent of
the sash section.
The Safe Grip (red belt clamp) can be left located
on the sash belt when the child is removed from the
booster. It is then ready for the next use. Reposi-
tioning of the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) may be
required as the child grows. The Safe Grip (red belt
clamp) must be removed when the child restraint is
not installed to allow other users to use the seat
belt as a lap/sash seat belt. Always keep the Safe
Grip (red belt clamp) in pocket provided when not in use.
