Video Transcripts

Hi I'm Lisa Scott the Road Safety Officer for Halton Council, I'm here today to show you how to fit a forward facing seat.

This is a stage one seat and again if you position the seat onto the car seat and with this particular model the actual frame stays on the seat. The seat tips forwards and is clipped into place using the bar.

The seat belt is threaded threw the back of the seat and clipped into place. The lap part of the seat belt is threaded threw the guides and the tension is taken out using the diagonal shoulder part of the seat belt and threaded threw the red guides again and clipped into place once again taking out all of the slack.

On this particular model the bar is then removed and the seat clicks into place and if you notice the buckle is well away from the car seat so there is no buckle crunch on the seat itself and is not impacting onto the seat.
