Setup and Installation

The i-Aid car seat is installed using the vehicle's 3-point seat belt. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Position the Car Seat: Place the i-Aid car seat on the vehicle's rear seat, ensuring it is stable and flush against the vehicle's backrest. The car seat is designed for forward-facing installation only.
2. Route the Lap Belt: Pull out the vehicle's 3-point seat belt. Route the lap portion of the seat belt through the designated red belt guides on the seat base. Ensure the belt lies flat and is not twisted.
3. Route the Shoulder Belt: Route the shoulder portion of the seat belt through the red shoulder belt guide located on the headrest. The shoulder belt guide should be positioned just above your child's shoulder.
4. Buckle the Seat Belt: Insert the seat belt buckle tongue into the vehicle's buckle until it clicks securely.
5. Tighten the Seat Belt: Pull the shoulder belt upwards to remove any slack from both the lap and shoulder portions of the belt. Ensure the car seat is firmly secured and does not move excessively (no more than 1 inch or 2.5 cm) from side to side or front to back at the belt path.
6. Check Belt Positioning: Once your child is seated, ensure the shoulder belt lies across the middle of their shoulder and chest, and the lap belt is low across their hips, touching the upper thighs.
