PLACING A CHILD IN A CAR SEAT

Press the seat rotation button on the base, rotate the car seat 90 ° towards the car door (5.1). This will make
it easier to put your child in the seat. Before placing the child in the seat, loosen the 5-point harness by
pressing the button on the front of the seat and pulling the shoulder straps (5.2). Unfasten the seat belts by
pressing the red button on the buckle (5.3). Swing the straps to the sides (5.4) and place the child in the
seat. Fasten the seat belts by joining both parts of the buckle (5.5) and fastening them in the buckle. You will
hear a 'click' indicating that the fastener is correct. Pull the straps towards you to make sure they are fastened.
Tension the 5-point belts by pulling the belt tensioning strap (5.6). The straps should be so tight that 2 fingers
of an adult fit between the child's body and the pad. To unfasten the seat belt, press on the red button on the
buckle. The belts are loosened by simultaneously pressing the belts release button and pulling them towards
you (5.7).
Adjust the headrest height by pulling the lever at the top of the headrest (5.8) and moving the headrest up /
down. The headrest should be adjusted, so that the child's head is in the center of the headrest and the ends
of the straps are just above the child's shoulders (5.9).
Rotate the car seat again 90 °, so that it faces forward (5.10) or backward (5.11), depending on the age of
the child, until it clicks. Check that the car seat is correctly locked. Set the inclination with the lever on the
front of the seat base. The most leaning backward position (4) is intended for the smallest children traveling
rearward-facing.

CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
The seat can be rotated 360 °, which makes it easier to put the child in the seat and also to change the
direction of travel from "rear" to "forward".
To turn the car seat, first pull the backrest adjustment lever and set the car seat on the most vertical position
(6.1). Then press the seat rotation button located on its base and turn the seat forward-facing (6.2). You will
hear a click. Move the seat to check if it has been locked correctly.
ATTENTION! Before the car starts moving, make sure that the car seat is correctly locked in front or back to
the direction of travel.
ATTENTION! Make sure the child safety seat is properly locked by trying to turn it back and forth without
pushing the turn button.
WARNING! The seat must be in a rear-facing or forward-facing position when travelling. Never use the seat in
a side position that is used only for inserting / removing a child or any other position that is not completely
forward or rear facing.

If there are problems with belt fastening, clean the buckle to ensure that it works properly.
Open the seat belt fastener (press the red button). Remove the clamp. Put the clamp in warm water mixed with
dishwashing liquid for at least an hour. Then rinse and allow to dry completely.
