Product Information

Full details

The Cosatto Acorn i-Size Base is designed for parents seeking enhanced safety and convenience for their child's car seat. Its primary benefit is the secure ISOFIX installation that provides extra stability, ensuring a safe journey. A potential caveat is that it is specifically designed for compatible Cosatto car seats, limiting universal fit.

FAQs

Is the Acorn i-Size Base compatible with all car seats?

No, the Acorn i-Size Base is designed specifically for use with compatible Cosatto i-Size infant car seats. Always check the product compatibility list.

What is i-Size?

i-Size is a European safety standard (ECE R129) for child car seats, focusing on enhanced side-impact protection and ISOFIX installation for a safer fit.

How do I know if my car has ISOFIX points?

Most modern cars have ISOFIX anchorage points. They are typically located between the backrest and the seat cushion of the rear seats. Check your vehicle's owner manual for confirmation.

Can I install the base without ISOFIX?

No, the Acorn i-Size Base is designed for ISOFIX installation only and cannot be fitted using a seat belt.

How do I clean the base?

Wipe the plastic components with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the benefit of the support leg?

The support leg (or load leg) extends to the floor of the car, providing a third point of contact that significantly reduces rotation and forward-tilting in the event of a collision.

Troubleshooting

Base does not click into ISOFIX points.

Ensure ISOFIX covers in your vehicle are removed and the base connectors are fully extended. Check for any obstructions.

Support leg is wobbly.

Ensure the support leg is fully extended and making firm contact with the vehicle floor. Adjust as necessary.

Car seat does not attach securely to the base.

Verify that the car seat is correctly aligned with the base and pushed down until an audible click is heard. Consult both the car seat and base manuals.

Red indicator visible on ISOFIX connectors.

A red indicator signifies an unlocked or improperly fitted ISOFIX connection. Release and re-attach the base until the indicator shows green.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your vehicle is equipped with ISOFIX anchorage points.
