Axkid Rekid Bedienungsanleitung Seite 10

To adjust the angle of the child restraint, press the recline adjustment lever (G) to select one of
4b
the three reclining positions. Always choose the most upright position as possible, however
your child must be able to hold their head up on its own, and there should be enough recline to
ensure your child' s head does not fall forward when sleeping. The rule of thumb is that the older the
child grows, the more upright the seat can be installed. Please note that once the installation of the
Rekid is complete, it will be somewhat more reclined as it sinks into the vehicle' s seat from tightening
seat belts and tether straps.
Fastening The Vehicle Seat Belt
Open the belt lock-off clips (K) on both sides of the Rekid child restraint. Fully lengthen the seat
5b
belt until the lap section of the belt is at least 70-80cm (27-32 inches) long. Feed the seat belt
through the seat belt slot (D), between the seat cover and seat body until the belt comes out
through the seat belt slot on the other side. If you prefer, you can instead feed the seat belt through
the seat belt slot (D), then over the top of the seat belt cover and then through the seat belt slot on the
other side.
Insert the seat belt tongue into the vehicle' s seat belt buckle. Pull the seat belt until all slack is
6b
removed along the seat belt route. Secure both the lap and shoulder belt in the lock-off closest
to the vehicle' s seat belt buckle.
In the lock-off on the opposite side, only the lap belt should be secured.

Attaching The Tether Straps
Some vehicles may already be fitted with anchorage points at the base of the front seat rails, or, if
installing in the front passenger seat, in front of that seat.
If your vehicle does not have these anchor points, the supplied lower anchor straps must be
8
used.
For installation in the back seat, feed the buckle end of the anchor strap through either the rear
9
of the front seat rails, or the hinge of the front seat. The anchoring point needs to be as close
to the floor as possible. In doing so you should always insert the buckle of the anchor strap
through the closest appropriate slot in the strap to create a slip knot then pull tight. This needs to be
repeated on both sides to create two anchor points.
When installing Rekid in the front passenger seat the lower anchor straps must be attached
10
to the front gliding tracks so the anchor points will be located along the front edge of the
passenger seat.
Pull out the upper tether strap from the belt housing (N) to an appropriate length.
11b
Check that the white marking on the strap (i) is visible. If not, you can try crossing the straps
12b
over (ii) to give them some extra length to enable the white marking to be visible.
