How do I install a forward facing car seat?

Firstly, it is important to always check your car’s manual and safety regulations when it comes to installing car seats. Simply install your car seat by following these instructions:

• make sure the car seat is right up against the back seat of your car, and place your child in it
• pull out the top tether strap entirely and adjust the looser end accordingly
• find the ISOFIX straps and click these straps into the designated points
• tighten the ISOFIX straps until you see the green indicator appear

Your child is ready to travel with you wherever you go!

Are forward facing car seats considered safe?

Fitting your precious cargo correctly in the seat is vital to your child’s protection and security. A good indicator for when you should transfer your child to a forward facing seat with a harness is when their shoulder meets the marker on their current restraint. To ensure their safety, any forward facing car seats should:

• come with or have an inbuilt harness
• easily attach and be secured to the seat by a seat belt
• have an attachable top tether strap

At what age can I change to a forward facing car seat for my child?

Any child that is under 4 years of age must use either a forward or rear facing car seat. Once your baby outgrows its rear facing child restraint, they can be transferred into a forward facing car seat. The shoulder height markers indicate when you can convert your child’s seat to face forward. Not sure when to use a forward facing car seat? You can always check with a professional.
