5. Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the various adjustments to ensure your child's comfort and safety during every journey.
Adjusting the Headrest:
The headrest can be adjusted to 7 different height positions. To adjust, locate the headrest adjustment lever (usually at the top or back of the headrest), squeeze or pull it, and slide the headrest up or down until it is at the correct height for your child. The shoulder straps will adjust simultaneously with the headrest.
Adjusting Recline Positions:
The seat offers 4 reclining positions. To recline the seat, locate the recline adjustment handle (typically at the front base of the seat), pull it, and tilt the seat to the desired angle. Ensure the seat clicks securely into place.
Using the 5-Point Harness:
Place your child in the seat. Bring the two buckle tongues together and insert them into the buckle until you hear a click. Pull the harness adjustment strap to tighten the harness snugly against your child's body. To release, press the red button on the buckle.
Rotating the Seat:
To rotate the seat, ensure the child is not in the seat or the harness is unbuckled. Locate the rotation lever (usually at the front base of the seat). Engage the lever and rotate the seat 360 degrees to face the desired direction (rearward or forward) or towards the car door for easy access.
