• To ensure a better t with smaller infants, the Newborn Insert may need to
be used. Never place extra padding under or behind the child. Only use the
Newborn Insert.
• Straps must lie at, free of twists and in the center of the child's shoulders.
• Check the height of the Harness Straps: Position the Harness Straps at or just
below the child's shoulders for REAR-FACING use. Position the Harness Straps
at or just above the child's shoulders for FORWARD-FACING use.
• Check the position of Chest Clip: Chest Clip should be centered on the child's
chest, level with the armpits.
• Never secure child in Child Restraint with child dressed in bulky or heavy
clothing. Heavy clothing can prevent Harness from being properly tightened
around the child.
• Never secure child in Child Restraint with child wrapped in a blanket. To keep
child warm, place a blanket over the child AFTER you have properly secured
and tightened Harness around the child.

a
until the
Harness is snug on the child. If you can pinch the strap at the child's shoulders
b
, the Harness is too loose. If the Harness is too loose, pull the Harness
Adjuster Strap until Harness is snug on 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 esh or push the child's body into an unnatural position.
11. Move the Shoulder Pads up to the child's shoulders. Slide the Chest Clip up to
the center of the child's chest, level with the armpits.
