No, the Joie Elevate R129 Car Seat is designed exclusively for forward-facing use from 76cm (approximately 15 months) onwards.

The car seat is installed using your vehicle's 3-point seat belt. Always follow the belt path guides on the seat and ensure the belt is pulled taut to secure the seat firmly.

You should transition from the 5-point harness to using the vehicle's 3-point seat belt when your child reaches 100cm in height (typically around 3.5 years old). The harness should be removed at this stage, and your child will be secured by the vehicle's seat belt while seated in the car seat.

The Joie Elevate R129 features a 'Grow Together' system. There is typically a lever or button located on the top or back of the headrest. Squeeze or press this mechanism and simply pull up or push down on the headrest to adjust both the headrest and harness height together with one hand.

Ensure the vehicle's 3-point seat belt is pulled as tight as possible, pressing down firmly on the car seat as you tighten. Check that the belt is correctly routed through all designated belt paths.

Verify the harness is not twisted. Use the one-hand adjustment lever to simultaneously raise or lower the headrest and harness. Ensure the harness straps are at or just above your child's shoulders when forward-facing.

Ensure the headrest is adjusted to the correct height for your child, providing adequate head support. While the seat has no recline, proper harness/headrest positioning can optimize comfort.

Refer to the user manual for precise instructions on how to safely detach and reattach the 5-point harness system. Ensure all buckles and anchors are correctly disengaged/engaged.

Check if the cupholder is securely clipped into its designated slot. If it's removable, ensure it's re-inserted correctly according to the user manual.
