How to Adjust Harness Slot Height
IMPORTANT: See Important Harness Adjustments
on pages 6 – 7 for important instructions on proper
harness fit based on your child’s height and weight.
Loosen the harness by pressing the harness-
adjuster button while pulling the shoulder
straps forward as far as possible (Fig. A).
From the rear of the child seat, unhook the
shoulder harness from the harness yoke (Fig. B).
Pull straps through the shell, foam, and cover
to the front of the child seat.
Thread the harness straps through the
appropriate harness slots in the cover, foam,
and child seat shell (Fig. C).
Reattach harness straps to the harness yoke
(Fig. B).
Pull harness-adjuster strap to tighten the
harness.
Verify all straps are threaded at the same height
and are not twisted.
Securing Your Child
Once the child seat has been installed in the
vehicle and adjustments have been made,
follow these instructions to secure the child.
Loosen the harness by pressing the adjuster
button located on the front of the child seat,
then pull the shoulder straps forward (Fig. A).
Release the chest clip by squeezing the tabs
and sliding pieces apart (Fig. D).
Unfasten the harness buckle by pressing the release button and
sliding the tongues out.

Move the harness straps to the side of the child
seat. Use the harness holder located on the
straps and side of the cover to aid in holding
the straps.
Place child in the child seat.
Position the harness straps around the child
and fasten the harness buckle (Fig. E) and chest
clip (Fig. F).
Proper connection of the harness buckle is
confirmed with a positive click after inserting
each buckle tongue.
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 (Fig. G).
Position the chest clip at the middle of the
child’s chest, level with the armpits (Fig. H).
Verify that harness is not twisted and child is
properly secured.
IMPORTANT:
Always pull on the harness after securing the child to
ensure the buckle tongues are secure in the harness
buckle. If the buckle will not fasten with a positive
click after insertion of each buckle tongue, the harness
buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food, drink
or other debris that need to be removed. See page 37
for cleaning instructions.
Adjust the belts provided with this child seat so they fit
snugly 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.
