Tighten Harness Straps
Pull on harness adjustment
strap to tighten harness
snugly.
NOTE: A snug harness
is not loose and lies flat
against the child without
sagging. It does not press
on the child's flesh or push
the child's body into an
unnatural position.
Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness
straps at the shoulders. If
you can pinch the harness
strap, tighten more. If your
fingers slip off, the harness
is tight enough.
Position Chest Clip
Slide chest clip up or down
so that it is at mid-chest
(even with armpits) and
away from the child's neck.
