To ensure your child's safety, proper installation of the Joie i-Harbour Enhanced car seat is crucial. Follow these steps for secure installation:
-
Base Installation: First, attach the ISOFIX guides to your vehicle's ISOFIX anchor points. Next, extend the load leg from its storage compartment. Extend the ISOFIX connectors and click them firmly into the ISOFIX anchor points. Verify that both ISOFIX connectors show green indicators, confirming a secure attachment. Extend the load leg to the floor until its indicator also shows green, ensuring a stable base. Adjust the load leg's position if needed to achieve a snug fit.
-
Removing the Base: To detach the base, press the secondary lock buttons followed by the ISOFIX releasing buttons before removing it from the vehicle seat.
-
Side Impact Protection: Install the side impact protection pod on the door side of the car seat for enhanced safety.
-
Head Support and Harness Adjustment: Adjust the head support and shoulder harnesses to the appropriate height, based on whether the seat is in rearward- or forward-facing mode. Ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
-
Recline Adjustment: Use the recline adjustment button to position the child restraint correctly for your child's comfort and safety.
-
Rearward Facing Installation: Secure the car seat onto the base when in rearward-facing mode. Double-check that the indicator confirms a secure, green attachment. Consult the manual for detailed release instructions.
-
Forward Facing Installation: For forward-facing mode, install the car seat on the rear vehicle seat and place your child in the seat. Adjust the harnesses and buckle your child in securely. These steps, combined with ensuring all indicators are green for secure attachment, will help ensure your child's safety and comfort with the Joie i-Harbour Enhanced car seat.
