Properly securing your child is vital for their safety.

1. Open Harness: Press the red button on the harness buckle to release the harness straps.
2. Place Child: Place your child in the car seat. For infants (40-60 cm), use the soft full body pillow for optimal support.
3. Fasten Harness: Bring the two buckle tongues together and insert them into the buckle until you hear a 'click'.
4. Tighten Harness: Pull the harness adjustment strap (usually located at the front of the seat) to tighten the harness. Ensure the straps are snug against your child's body, with no more than two fingers fitting between the strap and the child's collarbone.
5. Check Straps: Ensure the shoulder straps are at or just below your child's shoulders for rear-facing, and at or just above for forward-facing.

5.2. Headrest and Reclining Adjustment

Adjust the headrest and recline position for your child's comfort and safety as they grow.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your KikkaBoo i-Moove 2 i-SIZE car seat, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Difficulty Rotating: Ensure the car seat is not under tension from the vehicle's seatbelt (if applicable) and that the rotation lever is fully engaged. The seat must be in an upright position to rotate freely.
• Harness Not Tightening: Check that the harness straps are not twisted or obstructed. Ensure the harness adjustment strap is pulled firmly and smoothly.
• ISOFIX Indicators Not Green: Re-engage the ISOFIX connectors firmly into the vehicle's anchor points until both indicators turn green. Ensure no fabric or debris is obstructing the connection.
• Top Tether Not Tight: Ensure the Top Tether strap is correctly routed and pulled taut. Check that the anchor point in the vehicle is clear.
