Securing Child in Child Restraint
13
1. Place Child in Child
Restraint
The child’s bottom and back should be
fl at against the child restraint.
Position harness straps over child’s
shoulders and upper thighs.
3. Close Chest Clip
Insert right half of chest clip into left
half and snap together.
2. Buckle Harness
Push buckle tongues into buckle until
you hear a “click.”
Pull up on harness straps to make sure
buckle is locked.
4. Tighten Harness
Pull on harness adjustment strap to
tighten harness snugly.
6. Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the shoul-
ders vertically between index fi nger
and thumb as shown.
If your fi ngers slip off, the harness is
tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap, tighten more. The harness straps
should be snug throughout their length.
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 fl esh or push the
child’s body into an unnatural position.
5. Position Chest Clip
The chest clip must be placed at mid-
chest (even with armpits) and away from
the child’s neck.
WARNINGS: Failure to fasten and tighten the harness
system correctly may allow the child to be ejected from the
child restraint in a crash or sudden stop causing serious
injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety.
Harness system must be snugly
adjusted.
DO NOT put snowsuits or bulky
garments on your child when
placing them in the child restraint.
Bulky clothing can prevent the
harness straps from being tightened
properly.
To Remove Child From Child Restraint:
1. Loosen Harness Strap
