6.1 Securing your Child in the Safety Seat / Carrier
In a crash, the safety seat provides no protection for your child
unless the Harness Straps are properly installed according
to these instructions. Make sure that the harness straps are
properly adjusted and secured whenever using the Safety Seat,
even when using as a carrier.
Please follow these instructions carefully to properly secure your
child.
1. Check that the Harness Straps are installed in the proper slots
or adjusted to the proper height as described in section 5.9,
Adjustment of the Shoulder Straps, preceding.
Failure to properly secure your child in the Safety Seat /
Carrier increases the risk of death or serious injury from
suffocation or falls, or in the event of a sharp turn, sudden
stop or crash.
WARNING
2. The clothing you dress your child in will
affect the proper use of the Safety Seat.
Please dress your child in clothing that will:
• Allow the Harness Straps to securely latch
between your child’s legs.
• Keep the shoulder straps properly located
on your child’s shoulders.
3. Place the Safety Seat on a firm and level
surface. Move the carry handle to the non
rocking position. Loosen the Harness Straps
by pulling on the straps while pushing on the
Harness Adjuster Button located below the
pad just in front of the buckle. Unfasten the
Harness Chest Clip. Unbuckle the Harness
Straps and drape the Harness Straps over
the Seat back or to the sides of the Safety
Seat. (Fig. 35-1)
4. Place your child in the Safety Seat so that
the child’s bottom is against the back and
bottom of the seat. (Fig. 35-2)
5. Pull the harness straps down over your
child. Check that the harness straps are not
twisted.
