HOW TO ADJUST HEADREST & HASSLE
FREE HARNESS™
A. Loosen the harness straps before adjusting the headrest.
B. To adjust the headrest, pull on the latch on the back of
the restraint and pull up or down to position the top of the
shoulder strap slot above the child's shoulders. Release
the latch to lock the headrest in position. Pull headrest
upwards to check it is locked in position.
This method can be used when the child restraint is
installed in the vehicle in rearward facing position. Small
adjustments may be possible with the child still in the
seat.
OR
B. Pull the top of the padded insert forward to expose the
"PUSH" label at the centre of the headrest. Place finger
on the "PUSH" button, press in towards restraint, lift the
headrest loop to adjust upward or downward.
Be sure to use the 'push' button label as a guide.
Press the 'push' button (approx. 10mm) into the recess
behind the cover. Once released check the headrest
has latched by attempting to lift the headrest using the
headrest loop.
IMPORTANT :
Ensure harness and headrest are positioned so that the shoulder straps are just above or inline
with the child's shoulders but not lower. The bottom of the headrest side wings will usually be
just above the infant's shoulders.
It is not necessary to remove the harness straps to adjust the headrest position. Refer to Care
and Maintenance for cover removal page 83.

PLACING CHILD INTO RESTRAINT
A. Ensure the headrest and shoulder straps are adjusted to
the correct height for your child (see page 45).
B. Slacken the top tether strap if not already slack and allow
the straps to fall to the sides of the restraint for easy access
to the child.
C. Loosen shoulder straps by pressing the harness adjuster
and pull both shoulder straps evenly. Pull out the desired
amount of slack.
D. Place the two harness tongues into the Buckle Tongue
Holder (if supplied).
With the EZ buckle system the harness buckle will flip
towards the harness adjuster for easier fitment next time
you put the infant in the carrier.
E. Place baby into child restraint lying on its back so that the
buckle is between the baby's legs. Ensure that baby's arms
and legs are free. Make sure baby is dressed to allow the
Harness Buckle to be pulled up between baby's legs e.g.
a jump suit.
NOTE: The headrest should be adjusted so that the wings
on the headrest or shoulder strap slots are just above the
shoulders but not below the shoulders.
CAUTION:
Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled as this increases the risk of ejection and
injury or death in a crash. The harness needs to fit firmly to the baby, any blanket or other covering may
be placed over the harness after the harness is adjusted. Arms and legs must be free and not bound or
wrapped together. The legs must sit on each side of the crotch strap.
IMPORTANT :
Always adjust the height of the headrest thus the shoulder straps as the child grows.
