Now you are ready to fit the car seat in the vehicle.
Place the car seat against the backrest of the vehicle seat (12) facing forwards and in the
direction of travel.
Check the vehicle seat headrest position and that it does not obstruct the car seat. If this
should be the case then adjust or remove the vehicle headrest.
Before fitting the adult seat belt familiarize yourself with the routing and features required to
fit the seat belt properly. You will find windows (N) in the car seat backrest indicated with
red arrows.
The diagonal portion of the seat belt also uses the red seat belt guides (D) found on the
front of the backrest side wings.
Now extract the adult seat belt as much as possible. Holding the seat belt connector tongue,
divide the adult seat belt and pass the lap section under the armrest of the car seat with the
diagonal section of the adult belt going up the front of the backrest, passing between the
headrest and over the top of the backrest side wing (13).
Pass the adult belt connector tongue through the window in the backrest from front to back.
Then pass the seat belt behind and across the backrest and through the window on the
opposite side (14).
Pass the connector tongue of the seat belt through the window from back to front (14).
Before connecting to the seat belt buckle, divide the lap section from the diagonal section so
the lap section can pass under the armrest and the diagonal section over the armrest and
engage it with the red belt guide (D) on the side wing (15).
Note that this only applies on the adult belt buckle side of the car seat.
Now check the belt for twists along its path and take out any slack by pulling first the lap
section and then on the diagonal section. Check the seat feels secure and stable (16).
Ensure the head rest does not obstruct the child's shoulders.
Also make sure that the top of the child's head does not exceed the top of the headrest.
Open the harness buckle by pressing firmly on the red button in the centre of the buckle.
Spread apart the shoulder straps to enable the child to be installed.
Install your child in the car seat, ensuring that they are seated upright against the backrest.
Pass the child's arm through each of the shoulder straps whilst bringing together the
connectors, align them together and insert into the buckle until you hear a click (17).
Check that the lap section and shoulder section are not twisted and the connectors can fit
together correctly before inserting the connectors into the buckle. If the connectors will
not reach the buckle then release the harness tension by pressing the adjuster lock buttons
located on each shoulder strap and by pulling on the lower part of the shoulder straps.
