For forward-facing installations, the shoulder straps must be •
ABOVE the top of the child’s shoulders
The restraint harness must be snugly adjusted to your child. •
⚠WARNING⚠

It is important to check the position of the shoulder straps periodically as your
child grows to ensure they are in the correct position.
You also must adjust
the straps when switching the car seat from rear-facing to forward-facing.
The shoulder and thigh portions of the restraint harness must be correctly
positioned on your child to properly secure your child in a sudden stop or crash.
