3. Operating Instructions
The i-Spin Safe Car Seat offers convenient features for daily use, including a 90-degree spin function and adjustable components for your child's comfort and safety.
- 90° Spin Function: The Simple Swivel turning activator allows for effortless rotation of the seat with one hand. This feature makes it easier to place your child into the seat and remove them, then spin the seat back to the rearward-facing travel position.
- Grow Together™ Headrest and Harness System: The 6-position headrest and harness system adjusts simultaneously with one hand, eliminating the need for re-threading the harness. Ensure the headrest is adjusted so the harness straps are at or slightly below your child's shoulders when rearward-facing.
- 3-Piece Infant Insert: For newborns and smaller infants, use the included 3-piece infant insert to ensure a custom and snug fit, promoting proper harness and buckle positioning. Remove sections as your child grows to maintain a comfortable and secure fit.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Joie i-Spin Safe Car Seat, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Difficulty with ISOFIX Installation: Ensure the ISOFIX connectors are fully extended and aligned with the vehicle's anchorage points. Push firmly until you hear a click and see the green indicators. Check for any obstructions.
- Seat Not Spinning Smoothly: Ensure the car seat is not obstructed by vehicle upholstery or other items. Check that the Simple Swivel activator is fully engaged.
- Harness Too Tight/Loose: Adjust the harness length using the adjuster strap. Ensure the harness is snug against your child's body, with no more than one finger space between the harness and the child's collarbone. The headrest should be adjusted to the correct height.
