• Gently pull up on the harness
straps to tighten the lap
section of the harness, which
should fit low on the child's
body.
• Slowly pull the adjuster strap
to tighten the harness around
the child.
NOTE: Snugly adjust the belts provided
with this child restraint around your
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 the
webbing when snug.
• Position the chest clip at the
center of the child's chest,
level with the armpits.
