4. Securing your child
4.1 Seat cushion
NOTE The seat cushion (I) should be used for very small children. The cushion improves
comfort and provides additional support for very small children.
4.2-1 Adjusting the straps
Loosen the harness straps by pressing the release button (K) and pulling the harness as much
as possible.
Remember! Do not pull the shoulder pads.
4.2-2 Height of the headrest
• In the case of weight group 1, the headrest can be adjusted at five different heights without
removing the shoulder strap crossbar, the buckle and the harness.
NOTE Adjust shoulder strap height so that the strap enters the car seat backrest just above
the child's shoulders. Ensure that the shoulder straps fit well to the child's shoulders.
• The remaining five positions for weight groups 2 and 3 can be adjusted by removing the
shoulder strap crossbar, the buckle and the harness (see section 6.1).
Press the button on the headrest handle at the top of the seat. The headrest should fit well
to the child's head.
4.2-3 Backrest tilt adjustment mechanism
The tilt of the safety seat can be adjusted with the knob (F). Increase the angle of inclination
by turning the knob to the right, and decrease it by turning the knob to the left, which is
illustrated on the knob.
4.3 Securing your child with the harness
• Loosen the harness straps by pressing the button (K) and pulling the harness. Remember!
Do not pull the shoulder pads.
• Release the buckle (J) and place the harness straps on the sides of the safety seat. Place your
child in the seat.
• Adjust the headrest to the child's height (see section 4.2-2).
• Join two buckle latches to engage them and insert them into the buckle (J) until you hear a
"click".
4.4 Tightening the harness
• Pull the shoulder straps to eliminate play in the hip strap so that the harness lies flat.
• Pull the harness with the harness adjustment strap (L) until the harness lies flat and close to
the child's body. Pull the adjustment strap straight (not up or down).
NOTE The harnesses hip straps must be placed as low as possible on the child's hips. Make
sure that the harness straps are not twisted.
5. Installation in the vehicle
In case of sudden braking or an accident, persons not using seat belts can cause damage to
other passengers.
Always check the following:
• The seat backrests are locked in the vehicle (i.e. foldable back seat is locked).
• All heavy objects and sharp edges are secured (e.g. on the rear parcel shelf).
