The headrest can be adjusted to multiple positions to accommodate your child's height. Locate the headrest adjustment lever (usually at the top or back of the headrest). Squeeze the lever and slide the headrest up or down until it is at the correct height, ensuring the shoulder straps are at or just below your child's shoulders when rear-facing, or at or just above when forward-facing.

Press or pull the lever and rotate the seat to the desired position (e.g., facing the car door for easy access, or switching between rear-facing and forward-facing). Ensure the seat locks securely into place after rotation.
