Place the child in the child
4
seat. Ensure the child is
positioned upright in the child
seat and not slouching. Their
bottom must touch the child
seat, and their back must rest
flat against the back of the
child seat.
Position the harness straps
5
around the child.
Fasten the harness buckle.
6
Proper connection is
confirmed with a click after
inserting each buckle tongue.
Pull the harness adjuster strap
7
to tighten the harness.
* The harness should have a
snug fit around the 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. You
should not be able to pinch
excess webbing.
Fasten the chest clip.
8
* The correct height for the chest
clip is at the middle of the
chest at armpit level.
* The chest pads may be
placed in any position that is
comfortable for the child within
the range of the correctly
placed chest clip.

9 Harness straps are not twisted.
