HOW TO SETUP
ALWAYS USE THE KeepSafe™guide.
TO SHORTEN TO LENGTHEN
You must adjust the crotch strap to the correct length for your child before installing the
restraint as it cannot be adjusted in the car.
Always return the crotch strap to its original shorter length when using the seat with a
smaller child. The KeepSafe™guide must always be positioned so that the lap belt is kept
on the child's thighs - it will not connect correctly with the seatbelt if it is too high. DO NOT
attempt to remove or dismantle the crotch strap and KeepSafe™guide.
IMPORTANT :
ADJUSTING THE KEEPSAFE™GUIDE
The crotch strap can be adjusted so that it ts the seatbelt
correctly to the child. The crotch strap length adjuster can be
found under the seat.
A. Adjust the crotch straps for the KeepSafe™guide so that the
Lap portion of the seatbelt is sitting on the child's thighs and
the clip prevents the lap belt rising on the abdomen. Ensure the
KeepSafe™guide does not push into your child's thighs as this
may cause discomfort.
B. To change the length of the crotch strap, thread through the
adjuster in the direction of the arrows shown below.
The KeepSafe™guide
must pull the lap belt
rmly in contact with the
child's thighs.

guide should be used to correctly position the sash portion of the lap-sash seat over
the child’s shoulder and across the chest. Continue to adjust the height of the sash

E. Hook the KeepSafe™guide over the lap part of the seatbelt with the lap belt positing
logo facing forward. The KeepSafe™guide must be used at all times to prevent the
child slumping (sliding forward at base of seat) as the lap belt on the abdomen is
dangerous in the event of a crash.
F. Tighten the lap belt and the sash
belt if using an Inertia reel retractor
seatbelt, adjust lap portion of the
seatbelt rmly around the child and
child booster seat, place the sash
over the top of the seat where the
red BOOSTER SEATBELT PATH
label is. Then let the slack sash portion
retract up into sash retractor.

17
HOW TO USE
IMPORTANT:
Always ensure the seatbelt is rmly tted to the hips and thighs and the sash belt is
always tted diagonally across the chest.
The KeepSafe™guide correctly adjusted must always be used when the child is using
the booster seat as it ensures the lap belt is correctly positioned on the child's thighs
and hips. A loose or poorly positioned lap belt can allow the lap belt to ride up into the
abdomen and can cause serious injuries in a crash.
DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN THE CAR
:
G. The seatbelt must t rmly but comfortably across the lap and chest. If needed,
adjust the vehicle seat to improve the position of the sash on the child’s chest. It
should pull to the rear of the child.
H. Always ensure the lap belt is on the child's hips and thighs at all times. The lap belt
must not be on the child's abdomen. The sash belt must be across the child's chest.

18
HOW TO USE
NOTE: Seatbelt extenders should
not be used if the seatbelt is
not long enough to t around
the child. If a seatbelt extender
is used then the seatbelt buckle
must not be in contact with the
child.
TO REMOVE CHILD
Disengage seatbelt tongue and buckle. Remove the seatbelt from
the child and KeepSafe™guide. When the booster seat is not
being used, secure in position, by engaging seatbelt around the
booster seat or store in a safe place to prevent it becoming a
projectile in a crash.
