Frequently Asked Questions - Visage Astra InfaSecure

How do I install the InfaSecure Visage Astra using ISOFIX?
First, locate the ISOFIX anchor points in your vehicle. Press the ISOFIX connectors onto the anchor bars until you hear a click. Then attach the top tether strap to the designated anchor point. Ensure the seat is firmly installed with no more than 2.5 cm of movement at the belt path.
Can the Visage Astra be used as a booster seat?
No, the Visage Astra is a convertible car seat designed for rear-facing and forward-facing use with a harness. It transitions to a high-back booster mode for older children up to 36 kg. Check the manual for booster mode details.
What is the weight limit for rear-facing mode?
The rear-facing mode accommodates children weighing 2.5 kg to 18 kg. It is recommended to keep your child rear-facing for as long as possible, up to the maximum limits.
How do I clean the car seat cover?
Remove the cover by unbuttoning and unzipping it. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Air dry away from direct sunlight before reattaching.
Is the Visage Astra compatible with all vehicles?
The seat is designed to fit most vehicles with ISOFIX and top tether anchors. However, always check your vehicle's manual and the car seat's fit guide. For non-ISOFIX cars, it can be installed using the vehicle's seat belt.
How do I adjust the headrest and harness height?
The headrest and harness move together. Squeeze the lever at the back of the headrest and slide it up or down to one of 10 positions. The harness should be at or just below your child's shoulders for rear-facing, and at or just above for forward-facing.
What side impact protection does the seat have?
The Visage Astra features integrated side impact protection (SIP) in the headrest and side wings to absorb energy and reduce forces in a side collision.
Can I use an additional padded insert?
The seat comes with an infant insert for smaller babies. Do not add any aftermarket inserts or padding unless approved by InfaSecure, as they may interfere with the harness function and safety.
How long is the warranty period?
InfaSecure offers a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Register your product online to activate the warranty.
What do the expiry/dates of use mean?
Car seats have a lifespan due to material degradation. The Visage Astra should not be used for more than 10 years from the date of manufacture. The manufacture date is stamped on the seat's bottom or side label.

Information

This instruction manual covers various models under the Model number CS7313. This Convertible Booster Seat is designed to be used by children from approximately 6 months of age up to approximately 8 years of age. These are installed in the back seat of the vehicle using the vehicle seatbelt & the top tether strap.

Air Cocoon Technology™ - A Protective Embrace

Air Cocoon Technology™ (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 Technology™ 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 Technology™ (A.C.T.) is an all encompassing protective 'cocoon' around your child.

ACT™ Air Cocon Technology

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.

IMPORTANT: Research has shown that the likelihood of an accessory child safety harness being used incorrectly is very high and the risk of injuries when incorrectly used is much higher compared to a lap-sash seat belt. InfaSecure recommend that an accessory child safety harness should only be used if a lap-only seat belt is all that is available.

THE SUITABILITY OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT TO GROUPS OF CHILDREN

TYPE B

To be used in a forward-facing position with built-in harness by a child whose shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker (approximately 6 months of age). Until their shoulders reach the middle shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).

TYPE E

Then to be used with a lap-sash seat belt until the child's shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 6 to 8 years of age).

Continue to use this child restraint until the child shoulders reaches this limit. Children are safest in a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the booster.

Do not use this child restraint until the child's shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.

A child restraint could be adjusted or installed such that the level of protection offered is reduced. Ensure that you follow these instructions to ensure the desired level of protection is achieved.

Children who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child restraint with an in-built harness or a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the restraint.

TO BE USED WITH A LAP-SASH/LAP-ONLY SEATBELT IN THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING SEATS.

The use of child restraints in the front seat may be restricted for children of specific ages by local legislation. Please check with your local Department of Transport for the specific seating locations of children using child restraints for their given ages.

TYPE E

To be used with a lap-sash seatbelt by a child whose shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age) until the child's shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 6 to 8 years of age).

Continue to use this booster seat until the child reaches this limit. Children are safest in a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the booster seat.

Do not use this booster seat until child's shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.

A child restraint could be adjusted or installed such that the level of protection offered is reduced. Ensure that you follow these instructions to ensure the desired level of protection is achieved.

If the knees do not bend in front of the vehicle seat cushion continue to use a booster seat.

Just using a seatbelt is not recommended for children that have outgrown this seat. Use a larger booster seat.*

THIS RESTRAINTMUST BE USED IN CARS WITH FORWARD-FACING SEATS WITH A LAP-SASH SEATBELT. THIS BOOSTER SEAT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A CHILD HARNESS.

The use of child restraints in the front seat may be restricted for children of specific ages by local legislation. Please check with your local Department of Transport for the specific seating locations of children using child restraints for their given ages.

Your insurance company may require you to keep the child restraint for assessment, but do not use the child restraint after a severe crash. To assist you in making an accident insurance claim cut the following statement and include it with your claim.

NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANY CHILD RESTRAINT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT

All InfaSecure child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS1754 which requires us to advise users of child restraints to "Destroy the entire restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even if no damage is obvious".

The Australian/New Zealand Standards committee, advise that this statement applies whether a child was in the child restraint or not. We consider a "severe crash" as being one where the main body structure of the vehicle is distorted.

There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged and we concur with the Australian/New Zealand Standards in recommending destruction of the child restraint.

This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand Standards and our obligation in complying with the standards.

Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.
