How to Adjust the Height of the headrest

car seat in the best way, according to the

positioned correctly and that the safety belt is
fastened correctly on its shoulder.
When adjusting the height of the headrest,
remember that the child's ears must not ex-
ceed the height of the headrest, and that the
clamp must be positioned just slightly over
the child's shoulders, in order to ensure that
