Securing Your Child

Once the child restraint has been
installed in the vehicle, follow these
instructions to secure the child.
1 Loosen the harness by pushing the
adjuster button located in front of the
restraint, then pull the shoulder straps
forward (Fig. A).
2 Unfasten the chest clip by squeezing
the middle tab. (Fig. B).
Unfasten the buckle by pressing down on
3
the middle button.
4 Move the harness straps to the side of
the restraint.
• Use the harness holder located on the
straps and side of the cover to aid in
holding the straps.
5 Place child in the restraint.
Position the harness straps around the
6
child and fasten the child restraint
buckle (Fig C) and chest clip (Fig. D).

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. E).
• Harness should have a comfortable, but
snug, fit around the child. A snug fit allows
no more than two fingers between the
child's collar bone and the harness.
9 Position the chest clip at the middle of
the child's chest, level with the child's
armpit.
10 Verify that harness is not twisted and
child is properly secured.
11 See Checking Harness Height on
page 30.
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 33
and 35 for cleaning instructions.
• Always make sure that the harness is tight before each use, or
after any adjustments.
