Head support brake on headrest
The headrest on your Minikid is equipped with a head support brake. This can be used if you
23
want to keep the headrest in a fixed position. To activate the head support brake, pull the
harness adjustment strap until the headrest is at the desired height, you will hear a faint "click"
sound from the headrest as it locks into position. Check that the headrest can not be pulled down any
further and activate the headrest brake by moving the lever (H) across to the right.
WARNING: Do not pull up the headrest with the parking brake activated.
Removing and fitting the covers
WARNING: Never use the child restraint without its covers. The covers are an integral safety
feature.
Remove the side impact pad (I) if attached and ensure the headrest brake lever (H) is unlocked by
24
turning it to the left.
Press the harness adjuster button (E) and pull forward on the shoulder straps (not the shoulder pads)
25
to completely loosen the harness.
Note: If the headrest does not raise up check the headrest brake lever (H) is unlocked. Having the
headrest raised will make removing the headrest cover easier.
Locate the elastic loops (i). Working on one loop at a time, place your index finger in the loop and trace
26
the loop back to where it is attached on the headrest via a hook (ii). Carefully remove the elastic loops
from each hook (ii).
Unzip the two zips on the headrest (one on the underside of the right-hand-side of the headrest (i) and
27
one on the back (ii)).
Starting from the right, carefully pull the cover off from the headrest. Once the headrest cover has been
removed, lower the headrest again and lock in position. This will help whilst removing the seat cover.
Press the red harness release button on the buckle to unfasten the harness and remove the crotch
28
pad .
Unzip the three zips on the seat cover (one on each side of the front of the cover (i) and one on the back
29
of the cover (ii). Ensure you fully unzip the zips on each side of the front cover (i).
30
Unfasten all the press studs (i),(ii), (iii) .
Release and remove the plastic strip (i) along the front of the child restraint . IMPORTANT! Ensure you
31
pull the plastic strip and DO NOT pull the fabric .
Carefully remove the seat cover from around the harness adjuster housing (ii).
IMPORTANT! Store the plastic strip safely for when you need to fit the seat cover again. If you do lose the
plastic strip you will need to contact your retailer for a replacement.
