4.5 Seat and seatbelts
With the tried and tested 5-point seatbelt system, your children
are securely and comfortably strapped into the Chariot.
The Captain XL and Corsaire XL have an additional cross brace
in the frame, which is there to anchor the waist belts and brace
the seat.
To fasten the child into the carrier, proceed as follows:
The shoulder harness always stays fastened to the crotch
belt by their shared middle buckle.
Undo both of the top buckles of the padded shoulder
harness on the back rest. Take off the shoulder harness
towards the front.
Open the waist belt.
Place the child on the seat.
Make sure that the crotch belt is between the child’s legs.
The shoulder harness’s upper two buckles are attached to
vertical straps. Now move both upper buckles until they are
directly above the shoulders of the child.
Draw the shoulder harness upwards over the child’s
shoulders and click both of the upper buckles into their
respective buckles on the vertical straps. Make sure that
you do not pinch the child’s neck with the buckles.
Once again make sure that the crotch belt is between the
child’s legs.
All belts can be adjusted. The shoulder harness can be
adjusted to fi t correctly by pulling tight or loosening the loose
ends of the upper securing straps to equal degrees. The
loose end of the crotch belt can be pulled tight or loosened
like this as well.
Adjust the shoulder harness and crotch belt to fi t so that all
belts are tight and the lower end of the padded shoulder
harness with the “Chariot” logo is level with the child’s lower
chest region.
Fasten the waist belt. The waist belt must be on the outside
of the crotch belt.

On each side of the buckle, the waist belt has a loose belt
end for adjusting to fi t correctly on the child. Adjust the waist
belt until it is tight and the buckle is in the centre in front of
the crotch belt.
Finally check that all belts are tight. However, avoid putting
too much pressure on the child’s body.
Make sure that the padded shoulder harness’s belt position
is correctly adjusted, as described below.

Adjusting the padded shoulder harness
To achieve the correct size of the padded shoulder harness,
sleeve through or remove the shoulder belts with the plastic
buckle through these adjustment loops, as indicated below:
XS: Do not sleeve through any adjustment loops; thus unsleeve
the shoulder belts from all loops. (without illustration)
S: Only sleeve through the lowest webbing loop. When sized for
XS and S, the un-used, upper sections of the shoulder harness
go loose over the children‘s shoulders. Smooth them down their
back for comfort.
