Setup and Installation

The Deryan Clyde car seat offers versatile installation options to accommodate your child's growth.

Installation Overview

This car seat can be installed using the ISOFIX system and a top tether, or with the vehicle's 3-point seat belt, depending on the child's height and weight. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific car seat installation guidelines.

Rear-Facing Installation (40-105 cm)

For infants and toddlers (40-105 cm), the car seat must be installed in a rear-facing position. Use the ISOFIX connectors and top tether for secure attachment. Ensure the support leg is correctly extended and firmly placed on the vehicle floor. The car seat offers one recline position for rear-facing use.

Forward-Facing Installation (100-150 cm)

For older children (100-150 cm), the car seat can be used in a forward-facing position. The internal 5-point harness should be removed, and the child secured using the vehicle's 3-point seat belt. The car seat offers three recline positions for forward-facing use.

Adjusting Headrest and Harness

The headrest is adjustable to 14 positions to adapt to your child's height. The 5-point harness can be adjusted simultaneously with the headrest to ensure a snug and secure fit. Always ensure the shoulder straps are at or just below your child's shoulders when rear-facing, and at or just above when forward-facing.

Operating the Car Seat

Securing Your Child

When using the 5-point harness (up to 105 cm), ensure the straps are snug against your child's body, and the chest clip is at armpit level. For older children using the vehicle's seat belt, ensure the lap belt is low on the hips, touching the thighs, and the shoulder belt crosses the center of the shoulder and chest.

Recline Positions

The car seat offers multiple recline positions for your child's comfort. There is one recline position for rear-facing use and three recline positions for forward-facing use. Adjust the recline before securing your child and ensure it is locked into place.

360° Rotation

The Deryan Clyde car seat features a 360° rotation function, allowing you to easily turn the seat towards the car door for convenient placement and removal of your child. Ensure the seat is locked in the correct driving position (rear-facing or forward-facing) before driving.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Fabric Cover

The breathable fabric cover of the Deryan Clyde car seat is designed for easy cleaning. It can be removed and machine washed according to the care label instructions, typically on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Allow the cover to air dry completely before reattaching it to the car seat.

Cleaning the Harness and Frame

Wipe the harness straps with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or submerge the harness straps, as this can weaken the material. Clean the plastic and metal parts of the car seat frame with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

• Car Seat Feels Loose: Ensure ISOFIX connectors are fully engaged (green indicators visible) and the top tether is tightened. If using a seat belt, ensure it is threaded correctly and pulled taut.
• Harness is Difficult to Adjust: Check for any twists in the harness straps. Ensure the harness release button is fully pressed when loosening, and the adjuster strap is pulled firmly when tightening.
• Child is Uncomfortable: Verify that the headrest and harness are adjusted to the correct height for your child. Check the recline position to ensure it is suitable for their age and comfort.
• Seat Not Rotating: Ensure the car seat is not under tension from the vehicle's seat belt or ISOFIX. Check if the rotation lock is disengaged.
