FAQ

Why am I having difficulty attaching the Doona to the base?
Please check the straps that run down the back of your car seat. You will notice there is a silver metal bar that runs across the back of your car seat. If the straps are routed outside of the bar, they will interfere with the locking mechanism on the base, and you will need to reroute the straps between the shell of the car seat and the silver metal bar. The base release button needs to be pressed in, showing red, before installing the car seat on the base.
