Preparing Your Seat for Use

Before installing your ClickTight convertible car seat, adjust the harness and buckle to fit your child by following these simple steps:

Step 1: Adjust the harness to fit your child properly

1. Car Seat Britax Safe-nSound Instructions For Installation And Use Manual Convertible child restraint with adjustable headrest or backrest series no.7300/a/2010 (60 pages) Car Seat Britax Safe-n-sound Tourer Instruction Manual.
2. To set up your car seat, remove all packaging and set dow n on a flat surface. Your child seat consists of two parts; the booster seat and backrest. Ensure both pieces are lying flat before assembly. Insert the two hooks located at the bottom of the backrest into the gaps found at the rear of the booster seat.

Our ClickTight convertible car seats include an innovative harness system that allows you to adjust the harness positioning in two places - at the child’s hip and shoulder levels – to provide a custom fit for your child.

If You Own a ClickTight Convertible Seat

I'm buying an Edinburgh Roadstar car seat from Baby Factory as a spare car seat to use on holidays as it's attached by seat belts only which I thought would be practical if travelling in friends' cars that don't have anchor points.

During the initial production of our ClickTight convertible car seats, a small percentage of the car seats were assembled without properly attaching the lower harness straps. Please read these instructions to make sure your care seat's lower harness strap is correctly and securely attached.

Adjust the Harness at the Hip

Harness Hip Adjustment - Standard Position
Ensure that the harness is properly adjusted and secured in the standard position at the hip anchor.

Harness Hip Adjustment - For Extra Room
If your child needs more room to fit comfortably within the harness AND is 2+ years old, the harness can be adjusted to a longer length. This is ONLY an option for children 2+ years old.

Adjust the Harness at the Shoulder

Harness Shoulder Adjustment
Sit your child in the seat and move the harness to the appropriate harness height using the harness height adjustment lever.

Rear-Facing
For Rear-Facing, the shoulder harness straps should enter the car seat shell at or slightly below your child's shoulders.

Forward-Facing
For Forward-Facing, the shoulder harness straps should enter the seat shell at or slightly above your child's shoulders.

Step 2: Adjust the buckle to fit your child

• While your child is sitting in the seat, check to see where the buckle strap is located.
• If your child will be rear-facing, the buckle can be in either buckle slot position at or closest to your child.
• If your child will be forward-facing, the buckle must be in the forward buckle position.

Step 3: Installing your ClickTight convertible car seat

Once you have made the proper adjustments to your seat, you’re ready to install your new ClickTight convertible car seat.

Open the ClickTight Panel

1. Identify the ClickTight Key. Find the indention.

Any doubts? Watch our video below.

Rear-Facing Installation using the ClickTight Installation System

We recommend that children travel rear-facing for as long as possible – ideally until they are at least 2 years old and their developing neck muscles have grown stronger.

1. Place the vehicle seat belt into the rear-facing belt path slots and buckle.
2. Close the seat and the “click” tells you that you have a secure installation.

Forward-Facing Installation using the ClickTight Installation System

When your child reaches the maximum height and weight capacity for rear-facing installation, the seat should be switched to a forward-facing installation, as shown below.

1. Place the vehicle seat belt into the forward-facing belt path slots and buckle.
2. Close the seat and the “click” tells you that you have a secure installation.

Installation Videos

For your convenience, we also offer videos with step-by-step instructions showing how to install your car seat using either the ClickTight Installation System or the LATCH System.

Tightening the Harness

When buckling up your child, be sure the harness is snug enough by performing the simple Pinch Test.

NOTE: It’s important to carefully read both the user guide and the vehicle owner’s manual prior to installation.

Installing the Car Seat Base With a Seat Belt

1. Read your car seat’s instruction manual and your vehicle’s owner manual. Pay close attention to the information about your vehicle’s seat belt system, and how to “lock” the seat belt. Every seat and vehicle is different, which affects the way you’ll install your particular seat.
2. Place the car seat base in the back seat of your vehicle.
3. Carefully thread the seat belt through the rear-facing belt path. Check to make sure there are no twists in the seat belt.
4. Buckle the seat belt.
5. Lock the seat belt.
6. Press down firmly on the car seat base and tighten. The base should not move side-to-side or front-to-back more than 1 inch.
7. Make sure your car seat base is installed at the correct recline angle.
   • Babies must ride sitting semi-reclined to keep the airway open.
   • Most infant car seats have built-in angle indicators or adjustors to assist you.
   • As your child grows, the angle may need to be adjusted, so be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Attach the infant carrier to the base.

Fitting Your Child Correctly in the Car Seat

1. Place your child in the car seat with the child's back flat against the car seat.
2. Place harness straps over the child’s shoulders. Harness straps should lie flat, not twisted, and be placed through the slots located at or below your child’s shoulders.
3. Buckle the harness and the chest clip, and tighten until snug. The harness is snug enough when you cannot pinch any extra material at the shoulder.
   • Bulky clothing or blankets can prevent a snug harness fit. Always buckle the baby in the seat first, and then place coats or blankets over the harness.
   • If your baby needs support, fill the empty spaces with small, rolled blankets on each side of the baby’s shoulders and head.
   • If there is a gap between the buckle and your child’s groin (common for young infants), try placing a rolled washcloth or diaper in the space for a more secure fit.
   • Never put thick padding under or behind the baby unless it is recommended for use by the car seat manufacturer.
4. Place chest clip at armpit level. This holds the harness straps in place on the child’s chest and shoulders.

Best Practice

When your child outgrows the infant car seat, switch to a convertible or all-in-one car seat and use it in the rear-facing position. These seats typically have weight and height limits for the rear-facing position that allow you to keep your child rear-facing longer. If a baby under 1 year old grows too tall or too heavy for an infant car seat, a car seat with a higher rear-facing size limit is strongly recommended.

Installing the Car Seat Base With Lower Anchors

1. Read your car seat’s instruction manual and your vehicle’s owner manual carefully. Pay close attention to the location of the lower anchors, and directions on how to use this vehicle hardware.
2. Place the car seat base in the back seat of your vehicle. In a crash, the back seat is the safest place to be, and rear-facing car seats provide extra protection for your child’s head, neck and spine.
3. Locate the lower anchors in your vehicle.
4. Connect the lower anchor attachments on the car seat base to the lower anchors, making sure the straps aren’t twisted.
5. Press down firmly on the car seat base and tighten the straps. You should not be able to move the car seat base side-to-side or front-to-back more than 1 inch.
6. Make sure your base is installed at the correct recline angle.
   • Babies must ride sitting semi-reclined to keep the airway open.
   • Most infant car seats have built-in angle indicators or adjustors to assist you.
   • As your child grows the angle may need to be adjusted, so be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Attach the infant carrier to the base.
