2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for your child's safety. The Kikkaboo i-Track i-Size car seat is designed for easy and secure installation using the Isofix system in your vehicle, combined with the vehicle's 3-point seat belt to secure the child.
2.1 Isofix System Installation
The car seat is equipped with Isofix connectors for a rigid and secure attachment to your vehicle's Isofix anchor points. Locate the Isofix anchor points in your car (usually indicated by labels or symbols between the seat back and cushion). Extend the Isofix connectors from the car seat and push them onto the vehicle's anchor points until they click securely into place. Ensure the indicators on the connectors turn green, confirming correct engagement.

2.2 Securing the Child with the Vehicle's 3-Point Seat Belt
Once the car seat is securely installed with Isofix, your child is secured within the car seat using the vehicle's standard 3-point seat belt. Guide the lap portion of the seat belt across your child's hips and through the designated red belt guides on the car seat. Ensure the shoulder portion of the belt passes through the shoulder belt guide, resting securely over your child's shoulder and across their chest, without twisting. Fasten the seat belt buckle and pull the belt tight to remove any slack.
