5. Use of the Car Seat with
the Built-in Harness
Use of this car seat with the built-in harness is
meant for a child:

who weighs from 20 to 40 lbs. (9 to 18 kg) and
is between 27 and 40 inches (69 and 102 cm) in
height, and

who is at least one year old and can sit upright
unassisted, and

whose shoulders are below top harness slots. If
shoulders are above top harness slots, child is
too large for built-in harness. You must remove
the harness and use the booster seat with your
vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system.
Failure to properly adjust the harness straps for your
child increases the risk of serious injury or death in
the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. The
harness straps must be properly adjusted to fit your
child according to the following instructions.
Note that there are three posi-
tions for the shoulder harness
straps. The harness straps
must go into the slots that
are even with or just above
your child’s shoulders
