To adjust the headrest and harness height, locate the adjustment lever (usually at the top or back of the headrest). Squeeze the lever and simultaneously pull the headrest up or push it down to the desired position. The 5-point harness will automatically adjust with the headrest.
5.2. Reclining Positions (if applicable)
Refer to the labels on the car seat for specific instructions on adjusting recline positions. Ensure the car seat is in an appropriate recline for your child's age and the vehicle's seat angle.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the Cover
The Maxguard i-Size Car Seat features a fully washable cover for easy maintenance and hygiene. To remove the cover, carefully detach it from the car seat frame following the instructions on the fabric labels.

6.2. Cleaning the Harness and Frame
Wipe the harness straps with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash the harness straps as this can weaken them. Clean the plastic and metal parts of the car seat frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling.

- Car seat feels loose after installation: Recheck the ISOFIX connectors and Top Tether strap. Ensure they are securely latched and tightened. Push the car seat firmly into the vehicle seat.
- Difficulty fastening/unfastening harness: Check for any obstructions in the buckle. Ensure the buckle tongues are inserted correctly.
