Materials Inside Doona’s Infant Car Seat & Latch Base

1. Seat Padding: The seat padding is typically made from soft, cushioning materials such as foam or polyester fiberfill. These materials provide comfort and support for your baby during car rides and strolls.
2. Fabric Cover: The fabric cover that surrounds the seat padding is often made from durable, breathable, and easy-to-clean materials. Polyester blends, microfiber, or other synthetic fabrics are commonly used due to their durability and stain resistance.
3. Harness Straps: The harness straps are usually made from strong and sturdy materials like nylon webbing. These materials ensure that the harness can securely hold your baby in place.
4. Buckles and Clips: The buckles and clips on the harness system are often made from durable plastics that can withstand repeated use and the forces exerted during an impact.
5. Frame and Shell: The car seat’s frame and outer shell are typically constructed from materials like high-impact plastic, which provides a combination of strength and lightweight properties. The frame and shell play a crucial role in distributing impact forces during a collision.
6. Foam Inserts: Energy-absorbing foam inserts are commonly placed strategically within the car seat’s structure to provide additional protection by absorbing impact energy.
7. Handlebar: The handlebar, if present, is usually made from materials like reinforced plastic or metal to ensure a secure grip and durability.
8. Base Components: The Latch Base may consist of metal and plastic components that work together to securely attach the car seat to the vehicle’s Latch anchors.
9. Cushions and Inserts: Additional cushions and inserts, often made from soft materials, might be included to provide additional comfort and support for newborns and smaller infants.

How To Use It

Installing the Latch Base:

1. Select a Suitable Location: Choose a suitable rear-facing seating position in your vehicle. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for guidance on Latch anchor locations.
2. Position the Latch Base: Place the Latch Base on the vehicle seat, ensuring that it’s properly aligned and stable.
3. Connect Lower Anchors: Attach the lower anchor connectors from the Latch Base to the designated Latch anchors in your vehicle. Press down firmly to secure them in place.
4. Tighten the Base: Use the adjustment strap to tighten the Latch Base securely against the vehicle seat. The base should not move more than an inch in any direction.
5. Verify Installation: Check the Latch Base’s indicator to ensure that it’s properly installed. Refer to the user manual for your specific car seat model for details on the indicator system.

Installing the Car Seat:

1. Adjust Handle Position: If the handlebar is upright, gently push it forward so that it’s in the carrying position.
2. Place Car Seat on Base: Carefully position the Doona Infant Car Seat onto the Latch Base. Make sure the seat clicks into place and is securely attached.
3. Verify Installation: Check the car seat’s indicator to confirm that it’s correctly installed on the Latch Base. The indicator should clearly show that the car seat is securely in place.

Securing Your Baby:

1. Place Your Baby in the Seat: Gently place your baby in the car seat, ensuring that their back is flush against the backrest and their bottom is positioned towards the seat’s lowest point.
2. Fasten the Harness: Secure your baby by fastening the harness straps over their shoulders and across their hips. Ensure that the harness is snug but not overly tight. The chest clip should be positioned at armpit level.
3. Tighten the Straps: Adjust the harness straps to achieve a snug fit. You should be able to fit only one or two fingers between the straps and your baby’s collarbone.
4. Handlebar Position: If you’re using the car seat as a car seat (not as a stroller), the handlebar should be in the upright, locked position during travel.

Transitioning to Stroller Mode:

1. Adjust Handlebar: If you’re transitioning to stroller mode, ensure that the handlebar is in the appropriate position for pushing the stroller.
2. Release Car Seat: To transform the car seat into a stroller, press the lever located at the back of the seat and gently lift the car seat away from the Latch Base.
3. Lock the Wheels: If the wheels are not already locked in place, engage the wheel locks to ensure stability while pushing the stroller.
