6 Fasten the harness buckle.
* Proper connection is confirmed
with a click after inserting each
buckle tongue.
7 Pull the excess slack up to the
child’s shoulder area while
moving the HUGS™ chest pads
down toward the buckle.
8 Pull the harness adjuster strap up
and away from the child seat to
tighten the harness.
* The harness should have a
comfortable but snug fit around
the 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. You should not
be able to pinch excess.
9 Fasten the chest clip.
* The correct height for the chest
clip is at the middle of the chest at
armpit level.
* The HUGS™ chest pads may
be placed in any position that is
comfortable for the child within
the range of the correctly placed
chest clip.
