Rear-facing 9-25kg with seat belt & tethers
Positioning the child restraint
The easiest way to lift the Rekid into the vehicle is with its back first. Place the
2b
child restraint in 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
3b
vertical line (Q) 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.
To adjust the angle of the child restraint, press the recline adjustment lever (G)
4b
to select one of the three 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 Rekid
is complete, it will be somewhat more reclined as it sinks into the vehicle's seat from
tightening seat belts and tether straps.
Fastening the vehicle seat belt
Open the belt lock-off clips (K) on both sides of the Rekid child restraint. Fully
5b
lengthen the seat belt until the lap section of the belt is at least 70-80cm (27-32
inches) long. Feed the seat belt through the seat belt slot (D), between the seat
cover and seat body until the belt comes out through the seat belt slot on the other
side. If you prefer, you can instead feed the seat belt through the seat belt slot (D),
then over the top of the seat belt cover and then through the seat belt slot on the
other side.
Insert the seat belt tongue into the vehicle's seat belt buckle. Pull the seat belt
6b
until all slack is removed along the seat belt route. Secure both the lap and
shoulder belt in the lock-off closest to the vehicle's seat belt buckle.
In the lock-off on the opposite side, only the lap belt should be secured.
7b
Never install a child restraint in a passenger
seat where an active airbag is fitted.
