Securing Child in Child Restraint
continued on next page
1. Place Child in
Child Restraint
The child’s bottom
and back should be
flat against the child
restraint.
Position harness strap 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 them “click.”
Pull up on harness
strap to make sure
buckle is locked.
4. Tighten Harness
Pull on harness
adjustment strap to
tighten harness snugly.
5. Position Chest Clip
The chest clip must be
placed at mid-chest
(even with armpits)
and away from the
child’s neck.
6. Check Harness
Tightness
Try to pinch the har-
ness at the shoulders
vertically between index
finger and thumb as
shown.
If your fingers 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.
