HOW TO SETUP
ADJUSTING SHOULDER HARNESS STRAPS HEIGHT
FOR CHILD USE FORWARD-FACING
Correct fitment of the harness is very important as it restrains the child in the restraint. The
harness must fit firmly around the upper torso of the child and be positioned so as to leave
the child's arms and legs free. The shoulder
straps must be in the slots which are nearest to
the child's shoulders, but not more than 25mm
below the child's shoulders. If the harness
straps are more than 25 mm below the level of
the child's shoulders then the child is too large
for the restraint and the restraint should not
be used.
The shoulder straps must be in
the slots which are nearest to
the child's shoulders, but
not more than 25mm below
the child's shoulders.

shoulder straps from metal Strap Connector by slipping
strap through open slot. The metal Strap Connector is
shown in diagram on right.
C. Pull the shoulder strap through slot.
D. Insert shoulder strap through restraint slot which will

shoulder and then under the metal bar. Ensure that the
shoulder strap passes through matching slots in cover

E.
of the restraint before connecting to the metal strap connector. At rear of restraint,
ensuring that there are no twists in the shoulder straps.
F. Repeat for other shoulder strap. It is better to change one strap at a time so that
the other strap will be a guide for re-assembly.
WARNING: Do not use the restraint with harness shoulder straps set at different heights
or fed through mis-matching slots. Ensure harness straps are not twisted and that all
straps are secure by pulling each harness strap.
