Using the Restraint

Securing Child in Restraint

1 Loosen the harness by pressing the har-
ness adjuster lever while pulling the har-
ness straps forward (Fig. A).
2 Slide the harness strap out of one side of
chest clip to release (Fig. B).
3 Unfasten the buckle by pressing down
on the release button (Fig C).
4 Move the harness straps to the sides of
the restraint.
5 Place child in the restraint.
6 Position the harness straps around the
child and fasten the child restraint buck-
le (Fig D) and secure chest clip (Fig E).
• Proper connection of the buckle is
confirmed with a positive click after
inserting the second buckle tongue.
7 Gently pull up on the harness straps to
tighten the lap section of the harness,
which should fit low on the child's body.

8 Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten
the harness around the child (Fig. F).
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this
child restraint 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.
9 Position the chest clip at the center of the
child's chest, level with the child's armpits.
10 Verify that harness is not twisted and child
is properly secured.
11 Make sure that harness height is correct.
Refer to Checking Harness Height on page
14 for instructions.
IMPORTANT:
• Always pull on the harness after
securing the child to make sure the
buckle and harness are locked. If not,
the buckle or adjuster area may be
clogged with food, drink, or objects
that need to be removed. See pages
31 and 33 for cleaning instructions.
• Always make sure that the harness is
tight before each use, or after any
adjustments.
