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.
When installing Kidzone in the front passenger seat the lower anchor straps must be attached
9
to the front gliding tracks so the anchor points will be located along the front edge of the
passenger seat.
For installation in the back seat, feed the buckle end of the anchor strap through either the rear
10
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.
Pull out the upper tether strap from the belt housing (L) to an appropriate length.
11
Clip the anchor attachments directly onto the vehicle anchorage points (or lower anchor straps
12
if you have used them)...
Alternatively, loop the clip and strap through the anchorage point and then clip the anchor
13
attachments to the metal pins (i) on the back of the child seat . Repeat on the other side. Tighten
the straps by firmly pulling the end strap.
Unfold the support leg (Q) out to its maximum angle. Pull out the top latch (R) to release the
14
upper part of the support leg until it reaches the floor. If the support leg does not reach the floor,
repeat with the lower latch (S).
It is important that you check that the support leg is at an angle over 10° from the back of the
15
seat. You could check this by ensuring that the support leg is further away from the seat than
the vertical line.
16
Now firmly pull the straps on both sides of the seat to make sure that your seat is fully secured.
If you have installed Kidzone in the back seat you can now move the front seat to a comfortable
position.
Note: The back of the child restraint may, but does not need to be in contact with the back of the front
seat.
