3. Installation Orientation (Child Height)

• Rear-Facing (40-105 cm / up to 18 kg): For infants and toddlers. The car seat must be installed facing the rear of the vehicle.
• Forward-Facing (100-150 cm): For older children. The car seat can be installed facing the front of the vehicle, using the vehicle's 3-point seat belt.

Operating the Car Seat

1. 360° Swivel Function (Easy Turn)

The 360° swivel base allows you to easily rotate the car seat for convenient child placement and removal. To rotate:

1. Ensure the car seat is not reclined to its maximum position.
2. Locate the swivel release lever (often at the front of the base).
3. Press the lever and rotate the seat to the desired position (e.g., facing the car door for loading/unloading).
4. Rotate back to the correct driving position (rear-facing or forward-facing) until it locks securely.

The integrated anti-rotation frame ensures smooth rotation and provides more legroom for the child.

2. Recline Adjustment

The car seat offers 5 recline levels for optimal comfort, whether rear-facing or forward-facing. To adjust the recline:

1. Locate the recline adjustment lever (usually at the front or side of the seat).
2. Pull the lever and adjust the seat to one of the 5 desired positions.
3. Release the lever and ensure the seat is securely locked in place.

3. Headrest and Harness Adjustment

The headrest can be adjusted to 12 different height positions to accommodate your child's growth. The 5-point harness adjusts automatically with the headrest.

1. Locate the headrest adjustment handle (usually at the top rear of the headrest).
2. Squeeze the handle and move the headrest up or down to the correct height. The shoulder straps should be at or slightly below your child's shoulders when rear-facing, and at or slightly above when forward-facing.
3. Release the handle to lock the headrest in position.

4. Securing Your Child

1. Place your child in the car seat.
2. Bring the shoulder straps over your child's shoulders and connect the two buckle tongues into the central buckle until they click.
3. Pull the harness adjustment strap (located at the front of the seat) to tighten the harness until it is snug against your child's body. You should not be able to pinch any slack in the straps.
4. To release the harness, press the red button on the central buckle.
5. Use the belt holders on the sides of the seat to keep the harness straps open when placing or removing your child.

5. Dri-Seat Reduction Insert

For smaller children, use the Dri-Seat reduction insert. This insert provides additional comfort and support, and its bamboo fabric helps regulate temperature and absorb sweat.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Car Seat

• The fabric cover can be removed for cleaning. Refer to the care label on the cover for specific washing instructions. Typically, machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of the car seat.
• Wipe plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or using the car seat.

General Care

• Regularly check all components for wear, damage, or loose parts.
• Ensure the harness system is free from twists and damage.
• Store the car seat in a dry, cool place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Car seat feels loose after installation: Check that ISOFIX connectors are fully engaged (green indicators visible) and the stabilization leg is firmly planted and locked. Push the seat firmly against the vehicle's backrest.
• Harness is difficult to tighten/loosen: Ensure the harness straps are not twisted. Check for any obstructions in the harness mechanism.
• Belt alarm sounds unexpectedly: Verify that the harness buckle is fully engaged. If the child is unbuckling themselves, reinforce proper usage. If the alarm persists without cause, contact customer support.
• Swivel mechanism is stiff: Ensure the seat is in an upright position (not reclined) before attempting to swivel. Check for any debris obstructing the swivel base.
