Placing Your Child In The Seat
Press the harness adjuster button (E) and pull forward on the shoulder straps (not the shoulder pads)
17
to 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
19
straps are hanging over the chest and stomach.
Pull the shoulder straps together and insert the harness tongues into the crotch buckle.
20
Pull the harness adjustment strap (F). It' s important that you always pull the harness straight
21
and central when 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 Rekid is equipped with a head support brake. This can be used if you
22
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 (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 Rekid into the vehicle is with its back first. Place the child restraint in
2b
the vehicle with the back of the restraint facing the front of the vehicle.
The heels (O) should be sitting over the edge of the vehicle seat. The indented vertical line (Q)
3b
on the heel 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 Rekid in the front seat it is possible, but not crucial, for the back of the restraint to
have contact with the dashboard.
Never install a child restraint in a passenger seat
where an active airbag is fitted.
