1. Attach the bumper bar to the
frame ensuring it locks with a CLICK
on each side.
2. One side of the seat canvas has a
pocket behind it which goes over
the seat frame. Make sure you
cover the side of the frame that
does not have the studs sticking
out, as the side with the studs will
be at the lower part of the seat as
shown in step 3 below.
3. Secure the seat by locking the
holes in the belts over the studs on
the side of the frame. Make sure
the belts on both sides are
attached. Some force will be
required to lock the second belt. It
is normal and ensures the safety
and comfort of your child.

1. Locate the seat frame and put it on
an even surface. Remove the
bumper bar for the next step.
NOTE: Your Optimo will come with the carrycot already attached to the seat
frame. You should use this carrycot from birth until your child starts to sit up
unassisted, usually at 6 months of age. At this age, remove the carrycot and
attach the seat unit. Follow the procedure below to remount the carrycot when
required. Alternatively, you may order an additional mounting frame if you
wish to interchange between the seat and carrycot attachments frequently.
2. Locate the 4 fabric ends at the middle of the soft carrycot (labelled 1,2,3
and 4 in the picture). Find the grooves on the inside of the metal frame
(see picture inset). Now put end 1into groove aand end 3into groove cin
an anti-clockwise direction as illustrated by the arrows in the picture above.

fabric ends in an anti-clockwise
direction. When pushing, grab the
top of the fabric about 10cm away
from where the groove starts and
push it into the groove.
4. Once the fabric ends reach the
other side of the frame to where
they started, your carrycot will be
fully attached.
5. Insert the carrycot base and the
carrycot mattress into the carrycot.

on the left side of the carrycot.

through both zippers. Fasten the
first zipper from left to right (anti-
clockwise motion). Your apron is
now fixed to the carrycot. Attach

the longer mud guard. Ensure this
side is facing to the back when
locking the wheels.

seat for the first time, undo the
two hooks to separate the bottom
part of the harness from the top
part.

4. Put the child into the seat and
engage the safety lock on the
harness. You should hear a ‘CLICK’
sound. This ensures the safety lock
is engaged properly. Clip back the
hooks if they were removed in the
previous step.
5. Adjust the belts of the safety
harness to ensure the child is held
securely. Ensure the child will not
slide out. Do not over-tighten the
belts as the child should be able to
maintain a natural posture.

1. Attach the car seat hood to the car
seat. To do this, locate the locking
clips to the left and right side of the
hood and slide them in from the
top into the mounts either side of
the car seat. A firm push is needed
for a proper lock.
2. To install the car seat, locate the
two supplied car seat adapters.
Insert them into each side of the
car seat as displayed in the picture,
ensuring a ‘CLICK’ sound is made
when they lock in place. An
adapter will only fit on one of the
two sides, so do not try to force it
into place.
3. The car seat can be installed as
forward or rear facing. Locate the
two seat mounting points on the
frame, and lower the seat slowly
making sure the mounting points
align with the car seat adapters.

from each side.
