5.1 Child Placement in The Car Seat
1. Place child in the car seat with the child's back flat against the back
of the car seat and the child's bottom touching the seat.
2. Place harness straps over the child's shoulders.
NOTE: Check the height of the harness straps at the child's
shoulders.
3. Place the crotch buckle in appropriate position. See section 5.15
page 46.
4. Insert the buckle tongues into the crotch buckle.
NOTE: Pull up and test buckle tongues to be sure they are secure.
5. Place chest clip at arm pit level. Insert chest clip tab and press
together. Pull outward on chest clip's ends to be sure it is secure.
6. Pull on harness adjuster to tighten harness straps. A snug strap
should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without
sagging. It does not press on to the child's skin or push the child's
body into an unnatural position.
