Setup & Installation
The Lars i-Size car seat features universal installation using the vehicle's 3-point seat belt. Follow these steps for correct installation:
- Position the Car Seat: Place the car seat on the desired vehicle seat in a forward-facing orientation. Ensure it sits flat and stable against the vehicle's backrest.
- Route the Seat Belt (Lap Section): Pull out the vehicle's 3-point seat belt. Guide the lap section of the seat belt through the designated red belt guides located on both sides of the car seat's base. Ensure the belt lies flat and is not twisted.
- Buckle the Seat Belt: Insert the seat belt buckle tongue into the vehicle's buckle receiver until it clicks securely.
- Route the Seat Belt (Shoulder Section): Guide the shoulder section of the seat belt through the red belt guide near the headrest. The belt should pass over the child's shoulder and across their chest, not their neck.
- Tighten the Seat Belt: Pull the shoulder belt firmly to remove any slack from both the lap and shoulder sections. The car seat should be tightly secured and move minimally (no more than 1 inch) at the belt path.
- Check Installation: Double-check that the seat belt is correctly routed through all guides and is securely buckled and tightened.

Operating Instructions
Once the car seat is installed, follow these steps to safely secure your child:
- Place the Child: Seat your child in the car seat, ensuring their back is flat against the backrest.
- Adjust Headrest: The headrest is adjustable to 10 positions. Adjust the headrest height so that the shoulder belt guide is just above your child's shoulders. This ensures proper belt positioning and head protection.
- Route Vehicle Seat Belt: Guide the vehicle's 3-point seat belt across your child. The lap belt should lie low across their hips, touching the tops of their thighs. The shoulder belt should cross the center of their shoulder and chest, not touching their neck or falling off their shoulder.
- Buckle and Tighten: Buckle the vehicle seat belt and pull the shoulder strap to remove any slack. The belt should be snug against your child's body without being too tight or restrictive.
- Check Fit: Ensure the child is comfortable and the seat belt is properly positioned and snug.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your car seat and ensure its continued safety.
- Cleaning Fabric Covers: The fabric covers can be removed for cleaning. Refer to the care label for specific washing instructions. Typically, they can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and cold water. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
- Cleaning Plastic Parts: Wipe plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Seat Belt Care: Inspect the seat belts regularly for fraying, cuts, or damage. Clean belts with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not use harsh chemicals that could weaken the webbing.
- Storage: If storing the car seat, ensure it is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The removable backrest feature facilitates easier storage.
