BeSafe iZi Turn B iSize Car Seat Instruction Manual

It is important that you read this user manual BEFORE installing your seat. Incorrect installation could endanger your child.

Vital information

• The child seat MUST NOT be installed in a front passenger seat WITH AN ACTIVATED AIRBAG.
• This seat can only be installed in a car equipped with ISOfix anchorage points approved according to UN/ECE Regulation No.14 or other equivalent standards.
• For the suitable positions in the car, read the vehicle handbook. • Read the car list to find out whether your car model is approved for this seat. The latest update of the carlist can be found on the BeSafe website www.besafe.com. If your car is not present in the carlist, please contact BeSafe for further information.
• iZi Turn B i-Size is approved rear facing for children with a stature height from 40 to 105 cm, with a maximum weight up to 18 kg and forward facing for children with a stature height from 88 to 105 cm with a maximum weight up to 18 kg.
• Important: Do not use forward facing before the child is over 15 months. • When driving with a child sitting in the seat, the seat must always be in the (rear facing) driving direction of the vehicle. Never drive with the seat rotated to the side when a child is sitting in the seat. It is recommended not to drive with the seat rotated to the side when the seat is empty.
• BeSafe recommends to use the seat for as long as possible in the rear facing position.
• The harness straps must always be locked when the child is in the seat.
• The harness straps must be tightened without slack and not twisted.
• The shoulder pads contain magnets. Magnets can influence electronic equipment such as pacemakers.
• Protect any part of the child’s body which is exposed to the sun.
• The floor support must always be used. Make sure that the floor support is fully pushed down until it touches the floor of the vehicle in front of the seat and that the seat is positioned horizontal in the vehicle with the spirit level in the middle. The indicators of the floor support should always show green.
• The baby insert till stature height 87 cm can only be used rear facing and in the most reclined position of the seat.
• Remove the baby cushion including the white wedge, when the child is taller than 60 cm or older than 4 months.
• Remove the baby insert, when the child is taller than 87 cm.
• After an accident, the seat must be replaced. Although it may look undamaged, if you were to have another accident, the seat may not be able to protect your child to the level to which it was designed.
• Prevent the seat from becoming trapped or weighed down by luggage, seats and/or slamming doors.
• Make sure to tighten the harness extremely well, so that you can no longer make a fold in the belts. When you tighten the harness, make sure that the child is positioned well against the backrest.
• DO NOT attempt to dismantle, modify or add any part to the seat. Warranty will be void if non-original parts or accessories are used.
• Never leave your child unattended in the seat.
• Make sure all passengers are informed about how to release your child in case of emergency.
• Make sure luggage or other objects are properly secured. Unsecured luggage may cause severe injuries to children and adults in case of accidents.
• Never use the seat without the cover. The cover is a safety feature and may only be replaced by an original BeSafe cover.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning products; these may harm the construction material of the seat.
• BeSafe advises that child seats should not be bought or sold secondhand.
• KEEP this user manual for later use with the seat.
• When using the first time, remove the battery insulation strip from underneath the electronic display (Not on all models)
• Even when the installation screen is not functioning, the seat is safe to use, when installation is done according the user instructions and all indicators show green (Not on all models).
• The 2 x AA /LR6 (1,5 V) batteries can be replaced from the bottom side of the battery compartment. Do not use rechargeable batteries (Not on all models).
• Keep all batteries out of reach of children (Not on all models).
• Do not use old batteries or batteries that show signs of leakage or cracks (Not on all models).
• DO NOT use the seat for longer than 7 years. Due to ageing, the quality of the material may change.
• DO NOT use at home. It has not been designed for home use and can only be used in a vehicle.
• When the child seat is mounted in the car check all the areas where the child seat might touch the interior. We recommend using a (BeSafe) protection cover in these places to avoid cuts, marks or discolouration to the interior of the vehicle, especially in vehicles with leather or wooden interiors.
• If in doubt, consult either the car seat manufacturer or the retailer.

2. When installing in the front seat of the vehicle, adjust the back rest into an upright position.

3. Position the vehicle on a horizontal surface when installing the seat.

4. When the base is lifted the floor support should fall downwards from underneath the base. Do this outside the car.

5. Push down the switch for the ISOfix connectors at both sides to release the ISOfix connectors. (2)

6. Position the base on the vehicle seat. Click the ISOfix connectors on to the ISOfix anchorages on the vehicle seat. Make sure that both ISOfix indicators are green. (3)

7. Push the seat towards the backrest of the vehicle seat until it touches the backrest. (4)

8. The ISOfix connectors will have resistance sliding in, in the most outward positions, before they are connected with the ISOfix anchorage of the vehicle.

9. Tip: once the ISOfix connectors are installed, the seat can be turned towards the door of the vehicle to get a better view on the installation display.

10. Remove the yellow cap from the floor support. Adjust the floor support, so it is in contact with the floor of the vehicle. (5)

11. The height indicator of the floor support shows green when the floor support is in contact with the floor. (5)

12. Lift the base at the front side (near the spirit level) and extend the floor support till the spirit level is in the middle, indicating a horizontal position of the base. (5)

13. Tip: place one foot onto the bottom end of the floor support while lifting the base to make adjusting the length at this step easier.

14. The alarm sound stops when the floor support indicators show green and it is in contact with the floor and (not for all models) when the spirit level shows a horizontal position of the seat. (5)

15. When having the child seat installed rear facing in the back, it is recommended to position the front vehicle seat in a way that it is close to the touchpoint with the child seat. Make sure that the child seat can still rotate freely.
    When having the child seat installed rear facing on the passenger seat in the front, it is recommended to position the passenger seat in a way that the dashboard is close to the touchpoint with the child seat. Make sure that the child seat can still rotate freely.

16. Tip: If you feel like the base has too much side movement, you can install the seat tighter against the vehicle seat backrest. Make the support leg short, grab the base and push it against the vehicle backrest with more force. Move it side to side until you hear one more ‘click’ per side, then lift the base into horizontal position again.

17. The seat is delivered with removable SIP+ (side impact protection +).
    This extra side impact protection should be used on the doorside of the vehicle. To connect your SIP+ version, follow the instruction drawings on the SIP+ included with your seat. The seat already offers high level integrated side impact protection. This extra side impact protection improves the protection in the side impact still further. (6)

18. Tip: For an optimal height of the SIP+, position it between the two raised dots on the side of the seat shell.

19. Do not use the SIP+ on the seat when the space between seat and door of the vehicle is too small, which might lead to a situation where the seat is not positioned correctly on the vehicle seat. (6)

Removal of the seat from the vehicle

1. To remove the seat from the vehicle, turn the seat rear facing and push the seat upwards while adjusting the floor support to its shortest length.
2. Release the ISOfix connectors out of the seat by pushing down the switch for the ISOfix connectors on both sides. Pull the ISOfix release switch on both sides to disconnect from the ISOfix car anchorage.

Positioning of the child

1. Turn the seat towards the door while you pull the rotation release handle upwards.
2. Check that the shoulder strap slots are level with your child’s shoulders. (7)
3. While pressing the button of the central adjuster, pull the shoulder straps away from the seat with a flat hand. Make sure to pull the straps evenly so that they stay at the same length. (8)
4. Open the harness buckle. (9)
5. The height of the shoulder straps and the headrest can be adjusted by pulling the release handle upwards at the back of the headrest and pulling the headrest up or down. (10)
6. Position the shoulder straps over the marking at the sides of the seat to use the magnets to keep the harness open while you position the child. (11)
7. When the child is positioned, place the shoulder straps over the child’s shoulders and close the buckle: CLICK! (12)
8. Pull the harness strap through the central adjuster in the direction of the arrow straight up/forwards. Continue pulling until the harness is a comfortable but a firm fit. (13)
