If you can pinch the harness strap, tighten more.
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.
Tighten Harness
Pull on harness adjustment strap
to snugly tighten harness.
Position Chest Clip
Slide chest clip up the harness
straps and position it at mid-chest
(even with armpits) and away from
the child's neck.
Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the
shoulders and hips vertically
between index finger and thumb as
shown.
If your fingers slip off, the harness
is tight enough.

Finished!
The child is now secured in the car seat.
Check your child's fit often and make any needed
adjustments to the car seat as they grow.
To Remove Child from Car Seat:
1. Loosen Harness Strap
2. Unbuckle Harness
3. Release Chest Clip
4. Remove Child
Failure to fasten and tighten the harness system correctly may
allow the child to be ejected from the child restraint in a crash
or sudden stop causing serious injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety. Harness
system must be snugly adjusted.
Do not put snowsuits or bulky garments
on your child when placing them in the
child restraint. Bulky clothing can prevent
the harness straps from being tightened
properly.
