Installing your Joie i-Harbour Enhanced child restraint correctly is crucial for your child's safety. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Base Installation:
- Attach the ISOFIX guides (if needed) to your vehicle's ISOFIX anchor points.
- Take the load leg from its storage area and extend it.
- Extend the ISOFIX connectors on the i-Harbour and click them into your car's ISOFIX anchor points. Make sure both connectors click securely and show green indicators.
- Extend the load leg to the floor of your car until the indicator shows green, confirming correct contact and support. Adjust the load leg's position if necessary to achieve a secure fit.
-
Removing the Base:
- To detach the base, press the secondary lock buttons and then the ISOFIX releasing buttons before removing it from the vehicle seat.
-
Side Impact Protection:
- Attach the side impact protection pod on the door-side of the vehicle seat to enhance safety.
-
Head Support and Harness Adjustment:
- Adjust the head support and shoulder harnesses. The height should be appropriate for your child, considering whether the seat is rearward or forward-facing.
-
Recline Adjustment:
- Use the recline adjustment button to set the car seat to a suitable position for your child.
-
Rearward Facing Installation:
- Place the child restraint onto the base and check the indicator to confirm a green light, ensuring it is securely locked.
- Refer to the manual for instructions on releasing the car seat from the base.
-
Forward Facing Installation:
- Install the child restraint on the rear vehicle seat. Place your child in the seat.
- Adjust the harnesses and buckle your child in securely.
Always double-check that all indicators show green after installation to confirm a secure and correct fit. Consult the Joie i-Harbour Enhanced instruction manual for detailed visuals and any model-specific instructions.
