Click & Safe Snug Harness Indicator
(Select Models)
IMPORTANT: See pages 22-23 for detailed instructions on
securing your child.
The Click & Safe is designed to sense tension when the
adjuster strap is pulled and will provide an audible indication
when the child seat harness is within range of appropriate
snugness. The harness should have a comfortable but snug
fit around the 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. You should not be able to pinch excess
webbing at the shoulder. Follow the steps below to tighten
the harness.
To tighten the harness:
1. Remove any bulky
clothing or sports
equipment from your
child before tightening
the harness.
2. Check for proper harness
height.
3. Pull any excess slack
in the harness up to the
child's shoulder area.
4. Pull the harness adjuster strap straight out from the
child seat until a click is heard. The Click & Safe
indicator will click when the harness is within range
of appropriate snugness.
NOTE: If there is still slack in the harness, repeat
the steps above until another click indicates a snug
harness. It may be necessary to double check that
the harness is within range of appropriate snugness.
Always confirm a snug fit by attempting to pinch
excess webbing at the shoulders.
9 Check that the harness is buckled and secure.
9 Check that the harness is snug and you cannot pinch
excess webbing at the shoulder.
