Thank you for choosing BeSafe iZi Turn i-Size

It is important that you read this user manual BEFORE
installing your seat. Incorrect installation could endanger
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 i-Size is approved rear facing for children with a stature
height from 61 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.
• We recommend that this seat is used only for children who can sit
upright, usually not younger than 6 months.
• Remove the seat cushion when the child is over 2 years.
• Remove the side support when the child is over 2 years or earlier
when the child does not fit between these side supports anymore.
• 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
second-hand.
• KEEP this user manual for later use with the seat.
• 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.

Installation

1. When installing in the back seat of the vehicle, push the front seat of
the vehicle forward as far as possible and adjust the back rest into
an upright position (if it can be adjusted).
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. 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.
8. Remove the yellow cap from the floor support (not for all models).
Adjust the floor support, so it is in contact with the floor of the
vehicle. (4)
9. The height indicator of the floor support shows green when the floor
support is in contact with the floor. (4)
10. 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. (4)
11. 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.
12. The alarm sound (not on all models) 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. (4)
13. Push the seat towards the backrest of the vehicle seat until it
touches the backrest. (5)
14. The ISOfix connectors will have resistance sliding in, in the most
outward positions, before they are connected with the ISOfix
anchorage of the vehicle.
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 door side
of the vehicle. It can be connected by slotting between the seat shell
and the fabric. The seat already offers high level integrated side
impact protection. This extra side impact protection improves the
protection in the side impact still further. (Not on all models) (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)
9. Turn the seat against or with the driving direction before driving
and check if the release handles show green and the seat is locked
into the driving direction. (14)

Removing and refitting the cover

• Do take care when you remove the cover, as re-fitting the cover is
done in reverse.

disconnecting the beads at the back and pulling off the fabric
towards the front.
