Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for your child's safety. The Solution G i-Fix can be installed using the ISOFIX system or the vehicle's seat belt.

1. ISOFIX Installation

The ISOFIX connectors provide a secure and stable connection to your vehicle's ISOFIX anchorage points. Ensure the connectors are fully engaged and the indicators show green.

1. Extend the ISOFIX connectors by pressing the release buttons.
2. Align the connectors with the ISOFIX anchorage points in your vehicle and push the car seat firmly until the connectors click into place.
3. Verify that the safety indicators on both ISOFIX connectors are green.
4. Push the car seat firmly against the vehicle's seat back to ensure a tight fit.

2. Seat Belt Installation

For vehicles without ISOFIX, or as an alternative, the car seat can be secured using the vehicle's 3-point seat belt.

1. Place the car seat on the vehicle's seat.
2. Guide the vehicle's 3-point seat belt through the designated red belt guides on the car seat.
3. Ensure the lap belt is positioned low across the child's pelvis and the shoulder belt rests centrally on the child's shoulder, not on the neck.
4. Tighten the seat belt securely, removing any slack.
