Child Seat Functions
6 Position harness straps around the child and fasten
the harness buckle (Fig. A) and chest clip (Fig. B).
• Proper connection of the harness buckle is confirmed
with a positive click after inserting each buckle
tongue.
• If the buckle will not fasten with a positive click after
inserting each buckle tongue, the harness buckle or
adjuster area may be clogged with food, drink or
other debris that needs to be removed. See page 36
for cleaning instructions.
IMPORTANT: Gently pull up on the harness straps
to tighten lap section of the harness which should fit
across the child's upper thighs.
7 Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten the
harness around the child (Fig. C).
8 Position the chest clip at the middle of the child's
chest, level with the armpits (Fig. D).
9 Verify that harness is not twisted and child is
properly secured.
IMPORTANT:
• Always pull on the harness after securing the child to
ensure the buckle tongues are secure in the harness
buckle.
• Adjust the belts provided with this child seat so they
fit snugly around your 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.
The harness should have a comfortable but snug fit
around the child. You should not be able to pinch
excess webbing at the shoulder once the harness is
properly secured.
