4. Setup and Installation

The Bebesit Suzuka Car Seat can be installed using your vehicle's 3-point seat belt system. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Place your child in the car seat.
2. Bring the shoulder straps over your child's shoulders and buckle the crotch strap.
3. Connect the chest clip.
4. Pull the harness adjustment strap to tighten the harness until it is snug against your child's body. You should not be able to pinch any slack in the harness straps at the shoulder.
5. Ensure the chest clip is at armpit level.

4.2. Installation for Group 2/3 (15-36 kg) - Booster with Backrest

1. Ensure the car seat backrest is attached.
2. Place the car seat on the vehicle seat.
3. Seat your child in the car seat.
4. Route the vehicle's 3-point seat belt over your child and through the designated belt guides on the car seat and headrest.
5. Buckle the vehicle's seat belt. Ensure the lap belt lies low across the hips and the shoulder belt rests across the center of your child's shoulder and chest, not on the neck or face.
6. Adjust the headrest so the shoulder belt guide is correctly positioned for your child's height.

4.3. Installation for Group 3 (22-36 kg) - Backless Booster

For older children, the backrest can be detached to use the seat as a backless booster.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Securing Your Child (Group 1)

1. Place your child in the car seat.
2. Bring the shoulder straps over your child's shoulders and buckle the crotch strap.
3. Connect the chest clip.
4. Pull the harness adjustment strap to tighten the harness until it is snug against your child's body. You should not be able to pinch any slack in the harness straps at the shoulder.
5. Ensure the chest clip is at armpit level.

5.2. Adjusting the Headrest

The headrest can be adjusted to multiple positions to ensure proper fit as your child grows. Locate the headrest adjustment lever (usually at the top or back of the headrest) and squeeze it to move the headrest up or down. Release the lever to lock it into position.

5.3. Converting to Booster Seat (Groups 2/3)

When your child outgrows the 5-point harness (typically around 18 kg or when their shoulders are above the highest harness slot), you can convert the car seat to a high-back booster or a backless booster.

• High-Back Booster: Remove the 5-point harness system (store it safely). Use the vehicle's 3-point seat belt to secure your child, routing it through the car seat's guides.
• Backless Booster: Detach the backrest from the booster base. Use the vehicle's 3-point seat belt to secure your child on the booster base.

IMPORTANT: Always refer to the specific instructions on the product labels for harness removal and backrest detachment.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning the Car Seat

• Fabric Cover: The fabric cover is removable and washable. Refer to the care label on the cover for specific washing instructions (typically machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, hang to dry). Do not use bleach.
• Plastic and Metal Parts: Wipe clean with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Harness Straps: Wipe with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or immerse harness straps in water, as this can weaken the webbing.
