Continue to use this child restraint until the child reaches this limit. Do not use forward facing until child’s shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker. Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early. Children are at risk of serious injury if they move to booster seats too early. Children who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child restraint with an in-built harness or a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the restraint.

ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT OF RESTRAINT
Some vehicle seats have more rearward slope than others. If the angle of the seat causes the baby to be too upright for comfort, the angle may be altered by placing a firm packing between the seat and the underside of the base. Packing can be a firmly rolled up towel. If the car’s seat is flat then some packing may be required at the front edge of the base to achieve the recline angle. Do not remove all of the installation angle by over packing. Always leave an angle of approximately 10°- 15°.

10° to 15°

The stabilising bar does not need to contact the seatback provided the seatbelt is tight when packing is used.

If the car’s child restraint anchor fitting is behind the vehicle seat back you may need to use an extension strap as part of the top tether installation.

IMPORTANT: If using an Extension Strap, positioning the attachment clip above the child may lead to injury in an accident therefore make sure that the attachment clip is not positioned in front of the vehicle seat. Use a shorter extension strap or no extension strap.

It is normal to have some sideways movement of the restraint if the headrest is pushed sideways. A firmer fit can be achieved by applying more force to the ISOFLEX adjuster strap. If the tether strap is over tightened, the installation angle of the restraint may be affected.
IMPORTANT:
The top tether strap must be fitted at all times when the baby is in the car when using either the seatbelt or the ISOFLEX connectors. Always secure the loose end of the top tether strap to prevent it hanging out of the car or being accessible by the child. THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WHERE THE TOP TETHER STRAP MAY FALL INTO A SPLIT IN THE SEAT BACK OR OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEAT. ALWAYS ATTACH TOP TETHER HOOK AND REMOVE SLACK IN THE TOP TETHER STRAP.

INSTALLATION OF CAR ANCHOR FITTING
Consultthevehicleowner’shandbookforlocationofanchoragefittingsoranchoragepointsandthepossible use of spacers. Some vehicles may have an anchor fitting fitted by the vehicle manufacturer. If anchorage points cannot be found refer to car manufacturer or local child restraint fitting station or traffic authority for optimum position of anchorage point and the use of spacers.
TOP TETHER STRAP IMPORTANT:
THE ATTACHMENT CLIP COVER MUST ALWAYS BE USED AS IT PREVENTS THE RISK OF INCORRECT FITMENT OF THE ATTACHMENT CLIP TO THE UPPER ANCHORAGE POINT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE ATTACHMENT CLIP IS CORRECTLY ENGAGED TO THE UPPER ANCHORAGE POINT AND NOT HOOKED OR FITTED TO ANY OTHER OBJECT BEFORE EACH USE OF THE RESTRAINT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN VEHICLES SUCH AS STATION WAGONS, VANS, HATCH BACKS OR VEHICLES WITHOUT A FIXED PARCEL SHELF, SINCE THE ANCHOR POINT IS USUALLY NOT VISIBLE.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE: In some vehicles the upper anchorage point in the rear vertical panel can only be installed in one way. Please refer to vehicle owner’s handbook or a child restraint fitting station for correct method.

TRAVELLING TIPS
SAFETY
Never hold a baby in arms when riding in a motor vehicle. In this position the baby could be thrown against the dashboard, windscreen or other occupant and suffer serious injury or death. When riding in a motor vehicle never nurse a baby and use the same seat belt for both of you. In this position the baby or child could be crushed. Never breast feed a baby while car is in motion. Children must be secured in appropriate restraints at all times when the car is in motion. Children travelling unrestrainedorstandingupinthecarareindangerofseriousinjuryordeath.Trafficregulationsinallstates require children to be secured in child restraints or adult seat belts where available. Plan your trip with frequent comfort stops to reduce stress on babies, young children and driver. Keep the car well ventilated to reduce heat stress. Car windows should be kept open to maintain a good flow of fresh air. Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car because of the risk of heat exhaustion. Ensure babies and toddlers are adequately shaded from direct sunlight through side or rear windows. Check the car is ventilated by use opening windows or using the car’s ventilation system taking in external air. Recirculation setting is not suitable for providing ventilation. Be on guard against carbon monoxide poisoning which can occur through only a slight leak in the exhaust system while travelling in a closed car. Securely stow all heavy objects, feeding bottles, etc. that could become missiles during an accident and cause injury to any occupant.
CLOTHING/BATHING
Since it is often warmer in the car, dress the baby in light clothing. Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled. Any blanket or wrap must only be placed over the harness and infant.
