INSTALLATION TIPS

Installing the car seat with a 3-point safety
belt
The THUNDER can only be used with an auto-
matic 3-point safety belt. (Fig. 1)
The THUNDER must be fitted as a forward-
facing position in the rear seats of the car by
using the existing seat belts.
However, for some seats, if the installation is
not properly fitted, we suggest to try another
seat in your car.
Four positions of the car seat
The THUNDER can be used in four different
positions. (Fig. 2):
Pull the positioning handle under the front
of the seat forwards or backwards (feel the
spring underneath), then release the handle
on your required position while hearing a dis-
tinct click.
2 INSTALLATION
Installing method for Group I (9-18 kg)
a) Place the THUNDER in the sleeping position
3 or 4. (Fig. 3)
b) Remove the long shaft by pulling the peg
which is attached on the side of the shell.
(Fig. 4-A)
c) Pull and hold the shell forward, then thread
the seat belt between the shell and the base,
fastening the seat belt with the seat buckle,
while ensure the belt is not twisted. (Fig. 5)
*Make sure the shoulder belt go from top of
the backrest and the lap belt go horizontally
over the lap belt indicator (Fig. 5-A), joint the
shoulder belt and buckle up the seat on the
other side (Fig. 5-B). So the installation is com-
pleted (Fig. 5-C).
d) Return the shell to its original position, and
thread the installation shaft into the hole and
lock the peg with shaft until hearing a distinct
click. (Fig. 4-B)
e) Adjust the shell to your child's most com-
fortable position.
3 Placing your child in the THUNDER car seat
Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the
realease button and pull the shoulder belts
towards you.
Important: Do not pull on the belt pads when
16
doing so. (Fig. 8-9)
Press the red button to open the buckle. (Fig.
10)
Part the belts over the sides of the shell. (Fig.
11)
Place your child into the shell and make sure
that there are no toys or other hard objects in
the shell. (Fig. 12)
Match buckle tongue sections together and
insert them into the buckle. (Fig. 13)
f) Make sure the shoulder belts fit your child
snugly by pulling the adjuster belt. (Fig. 14)
Note! After you have done the installation,
check it by trying to move it, it shouldn't move
more than an inch side along the belt path,
if it does, tightens the straps or try installing
it again. The belts should never be twisted.
If you are unable to click the tongue sections
into the buckle, unlock the buckle by pressing
the red button and try again.
4 Installing method for Group II (15-25 kg) /
III (22-36 kg)
The installation method is for child within
Group II (15-25 kg) and Group III (22-36 kg).
a) Remove the harness system, including the
belt pads, central buckle and crotch strap.
b) Adjust the headrest by pulling the lifting
handle at your required position according to
your child's height.
c) Place your child into the car seat.
d) Thread the vehicle's shoulder belt from the
Group II belt guide slot (Fig. 14-a), or Group III
belt guide slot (Fig. 14-b), and thread the lap
belt into the belt guide hole (Fig. 14-c).
So the installation is completed (Fig. 14-d).
e) Joint the belts and buckle up.
5-6 Adjusting the height of the shoulder
belts
a) The correct height of the shoulder belts is
attained when the belt disappears into the
shell slightly above the shoulder of the child.
Ensure that the shoulder belts fit comfortably
over the child's shoulder. (Fig. 15)
b) Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the
release button of the adjuster and pulling the
shoulder belts towards you as far as possible.
Important: Do not pull the belt pads when
doing so. (Fig. 9)
c) Place the shell of the seat in the sleeping
position.
