Placing Your Child In The Seat
Press the harness adjuster button (I) and pull forward on the shoulder straps (not the shoulder pads) to
17
completely loosen the harness.
18
Press the red harness release button on the buckle and unfasten the harness.
Place your child in the car seat. Put your child' s arms in between the shoulder straps so that the straps are
19
hanging over the chest and stomach.
20
Pull the shoulder straps together and insert the harness tongues into the crotch buckle.
Pull the harness adjustment strap (J). It' s important that you always pull the harness straight and central when
21
you tighten the adjustment strap. This will tighten the harness and the headrest will automatically slide down
to the appropriate height.
Head Support Brake On Headrest
The headrest on your Duofix is equipped with a head support brake. This can be used if you want to keep the
22
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 (i)
across to the right.
WARNING: Do not pull up the headrest with the parking brake activated.

Positioning The Child Restraint
The easiest way to lift the Duofix into the vehicle is with its back first. Place the child restraint in the vehicle with
2b
the back of the restraint facing the front of the vehicle.
The heels (Y) should be sitting over the edge of the vehicle seat. The indented vertical line (T) on the heel
3b
should align vertically with the end of the vehicle' s seat. If installing in a small vehicle, or if your child does not
require extra leg room, you can instead place the heel upon the vehicle' s seat this will also achieve a more
reclined position.
Note: When installing Duofix in the front seat it is possible, but not crucial, for the back of the restraint to have contact
with the dashboard.
To adjust the angle of the child restraint, press the recline adjustment lever (K) to select one of the three
4b
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 Duofix is complete, it will be somewhat more reclined as it sinks into the
vehicle' s seat from tightening seat belts and tether straps.
