armpits) and away from the child's neck.

Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the shoulders
and hips vertically between index fi nger
and thumb as shown.
If your fi ngers slip off, the harness is
tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap,
tighten more.
A snug strap should not allow any slack. It
lies in a relatively straiaght line without
sagging. It does not press on the child's
fl esh or push the child's body into an
unnatural position.
Refasten harness covers.
