Follow the instructions below on
how to fit the harness around
your child, then refer to
Checking Harness Height
on
page 18 to verify that the har-
ness is properly adjusted for your
child.
1 Loosen harness: with one
hand, press and hold down the
harness adjuster tab, then pull
the shoulder harness forward
with the other hand (Fig. A).
2 Press the release button to
unfasten buckle (Fig. B).
3 Unfasten the chest clip.
4 Tuck each half of the unfastened
chest clip into the adjacent elastic
chest clip holder.
5 Place your child in the child
seat.
6 Loosely fit the harness over
your child’s shoulders.
7 Fasten the buckle: push each
buckle tongue firmly into the
lower section until you hear a
positive click (Fig. C).
8 Verify that the chest clip is
open and that the harness is not
twisted.
9 Gently pull the harness up to
tighten the lap sections. Make
sure the lap straps are aligned
with your child’s hips (Fig. D).
10 Pull the adjuster strap until
the harness is adjusted to a com-
fortable but FIRM fit around
your child (Fig. E).
11 Fasten the chest clip.
IMPORTANT: The chest clip must
be adjusted so it is at the child’s
armpit level.
12 Verify that the harness is not
twisted.
NOTE: With larger children the position of the buckle may require
adjustment before the harness will fasten properly – see Adjusting
Buckle Position
on page 20.
