Adjusting The Buckle Position - Britax Maxi Rider Instructions For Installation & Use

HOW TO SET-UP

ADJUSTING THE BUCKLE POSITION

IMPORTANT: You must adjust the crotch strap to the correct length for your child
before installing the restraint as it cannot be adjusted in the car. The crotch strap should only be
extended if the harness tongues are located low against your child's legs, thus creating
discomfort.
Always return the crotch strap to its original shorter length when using the seat with a smaller
child.
The buckle should always be positioned low down on your child's body.
DO NOT attempt to remove the crotch strap from the adjuster. Adjustment is made by feeding the
crotch strap through the adjuster as shown and does not need to be removed from the seat.
SETTING UP THE HARNESS
A. Sit the restraint against a wall for stability and get the child to sit
comfortably in position.
B. Determine the desired shoulder strap position and buckle position.
C. Remove the child and adjust the buckle strap and shoulder straps using
the following methods.
D. Repeat steps A & B to confirm the correct set-up of the built-in harness.
ADJUSTING THE CROTCH BUCKLE STRAP LENGTH
A. Adjust the crotch buckle to the
correct position for your child. It
should be kept as low as possible
to keep the lap straps fully
engaged over the hips. Ensure
that the harness tongues do not
push into your child's thighs as
this will cause discomfort.
B. To change the length of the crotch
strap, thread through the adjuster
in the direction of the arrows
shown.
