Open the belt lock-off clips (Q) on both sides of the Duofix child restraint. Fully lengthen the seat
belt until the lap section of the belt is at least 70-80cm (27-32 inches) long. Feed the seat belt
through the seat belt slot (H), between the seat cover and seat body until the belt comes out
through the seat belt slot on the other side. If you prefer, you can instead feed the seat belt through
the seat belt slot (H), then over the top of the seat belt cover and then through the seat belt slot on the
other side.
Insert the seat belt tongue into the vehicle’s seat belt buckle. Pull the seat belt until all slack is
removed along the seat belt route. Secure both the lap and shoulder belt in the lock-off closest
to the vehicle’s seat belt buckle.
In the lock-off on the opposite side, only the lap belt should be secured.

Never install a child restraint in a passenger seat
where an active airbag is fitted.
Some vehicles may already be fitted with anchorage points at the base of the front seat rails, or, if
installing in the front passenger seat, in front of that seat.
If your vehicle does not have these anchor points, the supplied lower anchor straps must be
used.
For installation in the back seat, feed the buckle end of the anchor strap through either the rear
of the front seat rails, or the hinge of the front seat. The anchoring point needs to be as close
to the floor as possible. In doing so you should always insert the buckle of the anchor strap
through the closest appropriate slot in the strap to create a slip knot then pull tight. This needs to be
repeated on both sides to create two anchor points.
When installing Duofix in the front passenger seat the lower anchor straps must be attached
to the front gliding tracks so the anchor points will be located along the front edge of the
passenger seat.
Pull out the upper tether strap from the belt housing (P) to an appropriate length.
Check that the white marking on the strap (i) is visible. If not, you can try crossing the straps
over (ii) to give them some extra length to enable the white marking to be visible.
