The Ickle Bubba Rotator i-Size is a 360-spin ISOFIX car seat designed for children from 40 to 150 cm in height, compliant with UN Regulation No. 129 (i-Size). This Enhanced Child Restraint System (ECRS) can be used as an i-Size car seat or an i-Size booster cushion, depending on the child's height and the installation method.
Function Description:
The Rotator i-Size car seat provides a safe and adaptable seating solution for children, transitioning from rearward-facing for infants to forward-facing for older children. Its 360-spin feature allows for easy rotation of the seat, facilitating child placement and switching between rearward and forward-facing modes. The seat is designed for installation using ISOFIX anchorages, a top tether, and/or the vehicle's 3-point safety belt.

Usage Features:
- Installation:
- Rearward-facing (40-105 cm): Ensure the seat is fully reclined (position 5) and rotated to the rearward-facing position. Connect ISOFIX connectors until they click and indicators turn green. Attach and tighten the top tether system to the vehicle's anchor point. Secure the child with the 5-point harness.
- Forward-facing (76-105 cm): Similar to rearward-facing, but the seat is rotated to the forward-facing position. Ensure ISOFIX and top tether are correctly installed and the child is secured with the 5-point harness. Do not use forward-facing before the child's age exceeds 15 months.
- Forward-facing (100-150 cm): For this height range, the 5-point harness and buckle are hidden. The child is secured using the vehicle's 3-point safety belt. The shoulder belt should pass through the shoulder belt guide (C) and the lap belt through the lap belt guides (K). ISOFIX can be used in conjunction with the 3-point belt for added stability.
- Harness Adjustment: The 5-point harness straps should be level with the child's shoulders. The harness length is adjusted using the harness adjustment button and strap. Ensure straps are tight and not twisted.
- Recline Adjustment: The seat's recline positions are adjusted by pulling the recline lever (G) and moving the seat to the desired position. Different recline positions are available for various height ranges (e.g., 40-105 cm, 76-105 cm, 100-150 cm).
- Rotation: To rotate the seat, pull the recline lever and fully recline the seat (position 5). Press the rotation handle (J) while turning the seat to face rearward or forward.
- Booster Cushion Mode (100-150 cm): Remove the small baby insert cushion (L). Hide the harness straps (E) in the backrest and the buckle (F) in the base of the seat. The child is then secured by the vehicle's 3-point safety belt.
- Safety Warnings:
- Always read instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
- Ensure all straps are tight and adjusted to the child's body, and not twisted.

- Do not make alterations or additions without Type Approval Authority approval.
- Never leave children unattended in the ECRS.
- Secure any luggage or objects that could cause injury in a collision.
