recommended that the child car seat is covered when not in use. This prevents
components, particularly those attached to the child car seat, becoming hot and
burning the child

Fitting the Car Seat into the Car
STEP 1
Put the child car seat rearward facing into the car and ensure that it is pushed rmly up
against the back rest of the passenger car seat (g.56).
STEP 2
Route the lap section of the adult safety belt through the two lap belt guides, one on
either side, and fasten the car seat belt (g.57).
STEP 3
Pass the diagonal section of the seat belt around the back of the child car seat, then pass
the seat belt through the diagonal belt guide (g.58).
STEP 4
Take out all the slack in the seat belt, ensuring that there are no twists or kinks in the
seat belt (g.59).
When tted, the security of the child car seat can be tested by pressing rmly into the
back rest (g.60). The seat should feel very rm and move only slightly. If the seat does
not feel secure, go back and follow the tting instructions closely.
Make sure the carry handle on the child car seat is in the upright position as shown.
Only once the seat is secure is it ready for use.
However safe a child car seat is, however well built it is, your child’s safety depends on
you.
Read this section thoroughly before tting your child car seat in your car.
REMEMBER: Misusing your child car seat will reduce the protection and safety you offer
your child.
• Ensure the harness is adjusted to suit your child. A tting for winter clothes will be too
loose for a child wearing summer clothes.
• Install the child car seat carefully using the 3-point lap and diagonal belt, as described
in this section.
• Check that your child car seat is secure before each journey.
• Do not use in a car passenger seat tted with an airbag.
• Always secure the seat belt around the child car seat.

WARNING: This child car seat can only be tted into a passenger seat of a car with a
