to the width of the child's pelvis as follows:
Unlock the seat lock on the underside by opening the retaining
flap (fig. Ill, l), allowing the arm rests (fig. V,2 ) of the Porsche
Zoom to move in and out. Now adjust the arm rests to the seat

Securing the child in the Porsche Zoom on the rear seat
a) Ensure that the arm rests are adjusted fully in. Place the Porsche
Zoom on the seat and have the child sit in the Porsche Zoom.
b) Fasten the lap and shoulder belt, ensuring that the shoulder belt
portion passes over the child's collarbone (fig. I, II).
c) The lap belt portion must pass as low as possible over the child's
pelvis and
under
the arm rests (fig. I, 4).
For smaller children, when the belt does not pass over the collarbone,
the shoulder belt should be correctly positioned by the belt holder
clip (fig. II, 5) of the back belt. This prevents the shoulder belt from
sitting too close to the neck.
