Installing the Axkid Minikid 3 car seat securely is crucial for your child's safety. Here's a step-by-step guide:

- Positioning the Car Seat:
- Adjust legroom for your child by sliding the car seat forward or backward on the vehicle seat.
- Ensure the car seat is fully supported and does not overhang the vehicle seat's edge.
- Set the recline angle for optimum safety and comfort.
- Securing with Seat Belt:
- Thread the vehicle seat belt through the designated seat belt slot on the Axkid Minikid 3.
- Fasten the seat belt buckle and remove any slack.
- Close the belt clamp, ensuring both the shoulder and lap portions of the belt are locked.
- Attaching Lower Tethers:
- Connect the lower tethers to the lower tether anchorages located in your vehicle.
- Push down on the car seat to automatically tighten the lower tethers.
- Deploying the Support Leg:
- Extend the support leg until it clicks into place on the vehicle floor.
- Angle the support leg at roughly 10 degrees toward the front of the vehicle.
- Attaching the ASIP Pad:
- Insert the ASIP pad into the corresponding ASIP connector on the car seat.
- Final Safety Checks:
- Verify the car seat is securely fastened, and the lower tethers are taut.
- Confirm the support leg is correctly positioned and angled.
- Restraining Your Child:
- Use the harness to restrain your child, ensuring a snug fit.
- Use the automatic headrest adjustment for the best fit for your child.
