Using the Right Anchors: We use the vehicle's ISOFIX points or seat belts to secure the seat. The top tether is attached to the vehicle's anchorage point.
3. Adjustment and Testing
Firm Fitting: The seat is adjusted to ensure it is as tight as possible, with no excessive movement. This involves tightening the seat belt or ISOFIX connectors and ensuring the top tether is secure.
Safety Checks: We conduct a series of checks to confirm that the seat is installed correctly, including ensuring the harness is at the correct height and that all straps are untwisted and snug.

Demonstration: Our installers demonstrate how to correctly secure your child in the seat, ensuring you understand how to adjust the harness and check for proper fit.
Ongoing Support: We provide guidance on what to look for as your child grows, including when adjustments are needed or when it might be time to transition to a different seat.
5. Final Inspection
Comprehensive Review: A final inspection ensures everything is in place and that you are comfortable with the installation and operation of the child restraint.
Documentation: We provide documentation of the installation, including any recommendations for future checks or adjustments.
