Learn how to install and use the Silver Cross Plus 360 Family Car Seat Bundle, including the lie-flat infant carrier, multi-stage seat, and 360° rotating base.
Quick Answer
Install the Base Plus 360 on your ISOFIX points, then click in the infant carrier or multi-stage seat and rotate it to face you for easy loading.
Why the 360° rotating base matters
The Base Plus 360 lets you spin the seat toward the car door, so you can buckle your child in without bending over or twisting. This is especially helpful for newborns and toddlers who need extra support during loading.
The bundle includes both a lie-flat infant carrier and a multi-stage seat, so you won't need to buy a new seat as your child grows. The dual-recline system on the multi-stage seat helps keep your child comfortable on longer journeys.
What to check before you start
Make sure your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points and that the seat is approved for your car model. The base clicks into the ISOFIX points and uses a support leg for stability.
If you're using the infant carrier, check that it clicks securely onto the base. The multi-stage seat also attaches to the same base, so you can switch between them without reinstalling.
Step-by-Step Installation and Use
- Install the Base Plus 360: Locate the ISOFIX anchor points in your car, push the base onto them until you hear a click, and extend the support leg until it touches the floor. Check that the base is level using the indicator. Make sure both ISOFIX indicators show green and the support leg is firmly on the floor.
- Attach the infant carrier: Place the infant carrier onto the base and press down until it clicks. The carrier should be locked in place—try to lift it to confirm. Rotate the base to face the car door for easier loading. Always check that the carrier is locked before lifting your child in.
- Adjust the recline and harness: For newborns, use the lie-flat position. For older babies, adjust the recline as needed. Loosen the harness, place your child in, and tighten the straps so they are snug but not too tight. The harness should be at or below your child's shoulders for rear-facing use.
- Switch to the multi-stage seat: When your child outgrows the infant carrier, remove it and click the multi-stage seat onto the same base. Adjust the headrest and harness height to match your child's size. The multi-stage seat can be used rear-facing and forward-facing, so check the manual for weight limits.
- Rotate for everyday use: To load your child, rotate the seat 360° to face the car door. After buckling, rotate it back to the rear-facing or forward-facing position. Always ensure the seat is locked in place before driving. Never drive with the seat in the rotated position—always lock it back into the driving direction.
