Securing Child Checklist - Chicco Fit 4 User Manual

SECURING CHILD CHECKLIST


Harness Straps must be snug. If you can pinch a fold in
the strap, the harness is too loose. A snug strap
should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight
line without sagging. It does not press on the child's
flesh or push the child's body into an unnatural position.

To ensure a better fit for smaller infants, the Stage 1 & 2 Headrest Insert and Stage 1
Positioner may be needed. Never place extra padding under or behind the child. Only use the
Stage 1 & 2 Headrest Insert and Stage 1 Positioner.

Straps must lay flat, free of twists and centered on top of the child's shoulders.

Check the height of the Harness Straps: Position the Harness Straps at or below the child's
shoulders for REAR-FACING and at or above the child's shoulders for FORWARD-FACING.


Check the position of Chest Clip: Chest Clip should be centered on the child's chest, level
with the armpits.

Never secure child in Child Restraint with child dressed in bulky garments or heavy clothing.
Heavy clothing can prevent harness from being properly tightened around child.

Never secure child in Child Restraint with child wrapped in a blanket. To keep child warm,
place a blanket over child AFTER you have properly secured and tightened harness around child.
WARNING - If harness is not snug around your child, child could be
ejected in a sudden stop or crash resulting in serious injury or death.
