Your car seat is fitted with an adjustable headrest that has been designed to sup-
port your child throughout growth by providing maximum side protection.
Raise the adjustable headrest to its highest position. Place the car seat against the

headrest guide (25). Sit your child in the car seat. 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 arm rest opposite the belt guide used.
The waist strap of the belt passes under both armrests (26). Lower the adjustable
headrest and adjust it to the height of your child (27). It should be positioned so
that it surrounds your child's head, providing maximum lateral protection, whilst
guiding the diagonal belt over the child's shoulder so that it doesn't extend onto
the child's neck (28). Tighten the vehicle seat belt.
Make sure that the seat belt is properly tightened, that it is not twisted and that it
is not positioned at the level of your child's neck.
