HOW TO INSTALL CHILD HARNESS
INSTALLATION METHOD
If the seating position has a lap only seat belt then no other vehicle seatbelt preparation is required.
If the seating position has a lap-sash seatbelt then it MUST be converted into a lap belt by fitting a Gated 3 bar
slide, see page 51.
The top tether must be correctly fitted for all installations.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CHILD HARNESS INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT :
The SLIDEGUARD™clip MUST ALWAYS be used when the child is using the booster seat with the
child harness as it ensures the lap belt is correctly positioned on the child's hips.
A loose or poorly positioned lap belt can move up into the abdomen and cause serious injuries in a
crash.
NOTE: Some vehicle seatbelts are too short and you may experience some difficulty fitting the
converted lap-sash around your child. If so, adjust the gated slide nearer to your child, ideally under the
armrest and lap belt recess area (ensure the slide does not touch your child). This should provide more
belt length to fit your child, but if the belt still will not fit, try another location in the vehicle. If the vehicle
belts are still too short, then contact the vehicle manufacturer for advice on longer seatbelts.

HOW TO INSTALL CHILD HARNESS
CONVERTING A LAP-SASH SEATBELT
FOR USE WITH THE CHILD HARNESS.
With the booster the seat installed in the vehicle, sit the
child in the seat. Fit the vehicle lap sash belt into the
vehicle buckle and position the lap strap over the child's
hips and thighs. Ensure all slack is removed from the lap
strap.
Locate the gated slide for the next step.
Take the sash strap away from the child's chest and place
together with the lap strap across the hips and thighs.
Engage the straps into the gated slide with the hollow side
towards the booster seat.
The gated slide should be close to the child but not
touching and should guide the sash belt back to the
retractor away from the child.
For further details on fitting the gated slide, see page 52
to 53.
Check and adjust the crotch buckle height to suit the child.
With the SLIDEGUARD™ Clip hooked over the lap belt,
the lap belt should sit within the red clip and should not be
able to lift up into the abdomen region of the child.
Both the converted lap/sash seatbelt and SLIDEGUARD™
Clip are now setup. Proceed to page 54 to fit the child
harness to the child in readiness of vehicle travel.
