Placing Child In Car Seat - Graco Assura Instruction Manual

PLACING CHILD IN CAR SEAT

WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Keep harness straps snug and
positioned on shoulders. 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. Periodically check adjustments.
• Do not use strap covers, blankets
cushions, or padding under harness
straps or child unless provided by Graco.
• Baby must be dressed in clothing with
arms and legs that will not interfere
with buckling harness.
Check harness system:
• Harness straps must be through slots at or
just below shoulders.
3-Point Models:
Buckle tongue must be in slot closest to but
not under child.
5-Point Models:
• Crotch strap must be through opening
closest to but not under child.
