Adjusting The Backrest - Kinderkraft XPAND Manual De Uso

• The adult safety belt buckle must not be located too close to the bottom of the child seat
armrest. If in doubt about this issue, contact the child seat manufacturer.
• You should give your child a good example and always fasten your belts. An adult with
unfastened safety belts may also be a threat to the child.
• Before each trip by car, make sure that the seat is properly secured.
• The car seat must be protected even when not in use. Unattached seat can cause injuries
to passengers even during emergency braking.
4.1 Headrest height
A properly positioned headrest ensures even distribution of the car seatbelt's shoulder
segment and protection and comfort of the child. ATTENTION. The shoulder strap should run
between the child's shoulder and neck. The headrest should be positioned appropriately to
fit the child's head.
• Grab the positioning lever (E) located in the back of the headrest and pull it gently upwards.
The headrest will be released.
• You can now adjust the headrest to the desired height. When you adjust the height, release
the positioning lever and the headrest will lock in the set position. Headrest have 4 positions.
Place the booster seat in the car seat. Place your child in the seat and check the height of the
headrest. Attention! If necessary, repeat the headrest adjustment process until you achieve
the optimal height.

4.2 Adjusting the backrest

The booster seat backrest is easily adjusted to the position of the car seat. For best
protection, the car seat should be in vertical position (e.g. for adjustable seats – front
passenger seat).
• The booster seat backrest is adjustable, which means that it can be precisely adjusted to
the car seat surface. Tilt the backrest back until it is against the car seat.
4.3 Installing/removing the booster seat base and backrest
Place the backrest flat behind the base and turn the backrest in the joint as far as possible to
connect it with the base. Position the backrest vertically.
Danger! When you adjust the backrest, make sure that that there is nothing near the joint.
Removal: bring the backrest in the joint to a vertical position and disconnect both parts of
the booster seat.
5. Installing in the vehicle
In the event of hard braking or an accident, people not strapped in with seatbelts may injure
other passengers.
Always make sure that:
• the vehicle's backrests are locked in place (i.e. that the lock of the folding back seat is in
place).
• all heavy and sharp objects are secured (e.g. on the rear ledge).
• all passengers are strapped in with seatbelts.
• the booster seat is always secured, even when it is empty.
