Installation

When installing in the back seat of the vehicle, push the front seat of the vehicle forward as far as possible and adjust the backrest into an upright position (if it can be adjusted).
When installing in the front seat of the vehicle, adjust the backrest into an upright position.
Position the vehicle on a horizontal surface when installing the seat.
When the base is lifted the floor support should fall downwards from underneath the base. Do this outside the car.
Push down the switch for the ISOfix connectors on both sides to release the ISOfix connectors.
Position the base on the vehicle seat. Click the ISOfix connectors onto the ISOfix anchorages on the vehicle seat. Make sure that both ISOfix indicators are green.
Push the seat towards the backrest of the vehicle seat until it touches the backrest.
The ISOfix connectors will have resistance sliding in, in the most outward positions, before they are connected with the ISOfix anchorage of the vehicle.
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.
Remove the yellow cap from the floor support. Adjust the floor support, so it is in contact with the floor of the vehicle.
The height indicator of the floor support shows green when the floor support is in contact with the floor.
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.
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.
The alarm sound stops when the floor support indicators show green and it is in contact with the floor. Make sure that the horizontal spirit level shows a horizontal position of the seat.
When having the child seat installed rear-facing in the back, it is recommended to position the front vehicle seat in a way that 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.
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’s backrest with more force. Move it side to side until you hear one more ‘click’ per side, then lift the base into a horizontal position again
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 of the side impact still further. (Not on all models)
Tip: For an optimal height of the SIP+, position it between the two raised dots on the side of the seat shell.
Do not use the SIP+ on the seat when the space between the 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.

Removal of the seat from the vehicle

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.
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

Turn the seat towards the door while you pull the rotation release handle upwards.
Check that the shoulder strap slots are level with your child’s shoulders.
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.
Open the harness buckle.
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.
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.
When the child is positioned, place the shoulder straps over the child’s shoulders and close the buckle: CLICK!
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 firm fit.
Turn the seat against the driving direction before driving and check if the release handles show green and the seat is locked in the driving direction.

Removing and refitting the cover

Do take care when you remove the cover, as re-fitting the cover is done in reverse.
The cover of the headrest can be taken off separately by disconnecting the beads at the back and pulling off the fabric towards the front.

Warning: potential misuse

The child seat MUST NOT be installed in a front passenger seat WITH AN ACTIVATED AIRBAG.
The floor support must always be used. Make sure that the floor support is fully pushed down and that the seat is positioned horizontally with the spirit level in the middle.
