Place child in the child seat. 5
Position the harness straps around the child and 6
fasten the harness buckle (Fig. A) and chest clip
(Fig. B).
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 7
lap section of the harness, which should fit low on
the child’s body.
Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten the 8
harness around the child (Fig. C).
Position the chest clip at the middle of the child’s 9
chest, level with the armpits (Fig. D).
Verify that harness is not twisted and child is 10
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 inserting each buckle tongue, the harness
buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food,
drink or other debris that needs to be removed. See
page 36 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.
The harness should have a comfortable but snug fit
around the child. You should not be able to pinch
excess webbing at the shoulder once the harness is
properly secured.
