7 Slide the HUGS™ chest pads down towards the buckle.
Important checklist before tightening the harness:
9 Check for proper harness height (see pages 6 – 7).
9 Remove slack from around the child's upper thighs.
9 Remove slack between the HUGS™ chest pads and the buckle.
8 Slowly pull the adjuster strap
until the harness is snug
around the child.
NOTE:
• 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 once the harness is
properly secured.
9 If there is still slack in the harness, review the
checklist above and then pull the harness
adjuster strap again until harness is snug.
10 Position the chest clip at the middle of the
child's chest, level with the child's armpits
(Fig. E).
11 Verify that the harness is not twisted and the
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.
Securing Your Child
Pull the harness adjuster away from
the child seat to tighten.
Do not pull sideways.
