9 Gently pull up on the harness
straps to tighten the lap section
of the harness, which should fit
low on the child's body.
NOTE : Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around
your child. 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.
Pull the harness adjuster away from
the child seat (parallel to the ground)
to tighten.
10 Slowly pull the adjuster strap
to tighten the harness around
the child.
Do not pull at a sideways angle.
11 Position the chest clip at the
center of the child's chest,
level with the child's armpits.
12 Verify that the harness is not twisted and the child is properly
secured. Check that the:
9 Buckle is fastened
9 Harness straps are not twisted.
Harness is snug

IMPORTANT:
• Always pull on the harness after securing the child to make sure the
buckle and harness are locked. If not, the buckle or adjuster area may
be clogged with food, drink, or objects that need to be removed. See
pages 68 – 70 for cleaning instructions.
• Always make sure that the harness is tight before each use, or after any
adjustments.
