7. Check buckle height - The Crotch
Strap should be adjusted so that
a gap of 12.5 mm to 25 mm (1/2"
to 1") is present between the ears
of the buckle and the top of child's
thigh (Fig 50-1), disregarding any
clothing or diaper. If buckle is too
low or to high, adjust height. (See
Section 11.3 Adjusting Crotch
Strap Length)

lie flat over the shoulders.
9. Tighten the harness straps to snugly
adjust harness around child by pulling
the Harness Adjuster Strap at the front of
the Car Seat as shown. (Fig 50-2)
10. Connect the Harness Clip and position
the Harness Clip at the middle of the
child's chest, level with the armpits.
12. Check Harness Straps - Make sure the straps are flat and snug
against the child's shoulders and thighs.
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.
