Installing the car seat and placing the child in the vehicle
Your car seat is fitted with an adjustable headrest that has been designed to support your
child throughout growth by providing maximum lateral protection.
IMPORTANT: Correct attachment to the Isofix anchor points is essential for the safety of your
child. This car seat must only be installed with a 3-point safety belt (2). Never install the car
seat within 2-point safety belt (3)! Never use a different installation method than the one
described here!
Raise the adjustable headrest to its highest position. Extend the EASYFIX connectors from the
car seat as far as possible (4). Position the car seat on the rear seat of the vehicle bringing the
EASYFIX connectors in line with the seat's ISOFIX anchor points (5). Click the EASYFIX connec-
tors into the anchor points; the indicators on each connector should turn from red to green
(6). Ensure that the vehicle seat belt buckle remains accessible and that it has not been placed
under the car seat.
Release the safety catch of the EASYFIX system by pulling the red handle attached to the
base and gently pushing the car seat (7). With the safety catch released, push the car seat by
exerting equal pressure on both sides until the rear of the car seat is pressed firmly against the
vehicle seat and then feed the diagonal strap of the belt through the headrest guide (8).
Sit your child in the car seat. The lifting armrests make it easier for you to seat the child and put
on the harness. Make sure that the child's back is fully in contact with the back of the car seat.
Pull and fasten the vehicle seat belt. Pass the diagonal strap of the belt under the armrest op-
posite the belt guide used. The waist strap of the belt passes under both armrests (9). Lower

so that it surrounds your child's head, providing maximum lateral protection, whilst guiding
