This instruction manual covers various models under the Model number CS5413 SERIES II.

Air Cocoon Technology™️ – A Protective Embrace Air Cocoon TechnologyTM (A.C.T.) enhances protection by dramatically reducing the impact forces during a crash. A.C.T. utilises a layer of air held inside the entirety of the child restraint shell, offering an increased level of protection across the entire surface area of the restraint. Your child is quite literally cradled in a cocoon of air, offering a true 180 degrees of protection to your child’s vital organs.
Air Cocoon TechnologyTM integrated child restraints start their life as an actual pillow of air. This pillow is moulded into a child restraint, retaining the pillow-like construction while adding incredible strength and structural integrity. This manufacturing process is called blow-moulding.
Air Cocoon TechnologyTM (A.C.T.) is an all encompassing protective `cocoon’ around your child.
Child Restraints
No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash. However, to ensure that your child gets all the protection designed into the restraint please read and follow the instructions exactly and use only InfaSecure recommended parts and accessories.

WARNING· ALWAYS USE THE SASH GUIDE
Safe Grip (if supplied)*Can be purchased separately visit http://store.infasecure.com.au/
SAFE GRIP BELT CLAMPIt is important that the lap belt must be firmly across the thighs. The Safe Grip locks the lap belt to ensure a firm fit across the thighs, and avoids slack in the lap belt. This fit ensures that the lap belt does not ride up into the soft abdominal region of the child, which may cause internal injury.
To install the Safe Grip (red belt clamp);Continue from Step 6: while holding the belts tight open the Safe Grip and clamp the “sash section” of the vehicle seat belt by closing the barrel section of the red belt clamp in the direction of arrow 3 (refer Figure 6) and then locking with the toggle section by pushing in the direction of arrow 4 (refer Figure 6) Note: Positioned as close as possible to the buckle and tongue. When the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) is secured in place, the lap section is now tightly holding your child in place, independent of the sash section. The Safe Grip (red belt clamp) can be left located on the sash belt when the child is removed from the booster. It is then ready for the next use. Repositioning of the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) may be required as the child grows. The Safe Grip (red belt clamp) must be removed when the child restraint is not installed to allow other users to use the seat belt as a lap/sash seat belt. Always keep the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) in pocket provided when not in use.
NOTE: Do not place the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) around both the lap and sash sections of the belt. This could cause the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) to break.
