Trouble Shooting
1.
If the child restraint buckle or harness release lever
sticks or you cannot get the straps tight enough around
child: DO NOT LUBRICATE. Check around lever and retractor for
dropped food, sticky spilled drinks, dirt, leaves, etc. Clean with
warm water and/or remove object with tweezers. If you cannot get
the harness to adjust and remain tight with the buckle securely
locked, do not use the child restraint.
2.
If your harness twists: Straighten the harness each time
you put your child in the seat to help prevent twisting. Lock the
buckle and tighten harness and it will be ready for next use.
3.
If your infant sits too upright in the rear-facing
position: If your vehicle seat slopes so much that your infant is
sitting upright, you may place a
rolled towel or foam pool noodle
under the front of the child
restraint so that the level line on
the shoulder belt-positioning
guide is level (horizontal). Check
often to be sure padding is still in
place and the vehicle belt is tight.
Using padding that tilts the base of the child
restraint farther back than the level-to-ground
line can result in serious injury or death.
4.
Locate a Child Safety Seat Inspection Station for
hands on training on how to use your child restraint: Visit
your local Child Passenger Inspection Station or go to
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cps/cpsfitting/index.cfm to find your
closest station.
