Confirm location of harness buckle is correct.
To ensure proper harness fit:
Place child in the car seat to determine proper harness buckle
position.
• For rear-facing, any 3 buckle positions are acceptable, as
long as the harness is snug on the child’s shoulders.
• For forward-facing, see Step 2 below.
For children 5–30 lbs: Harness buckle can be directly above its
buckle slot (Fig. A) or forward of its buckle slot (See Figure B).
For forward-facing children over 30 lbs: Always use forward-
most buckle location.
In all cases, be sure the buckle is up against the child’s body.
Locate correct harness buckle slot.
Unbuckle harness.
Push harness buckle strap down 2
inches into rear facing belt path
tunnel.
Guide buckle strap and metal D-ring
upward and rotate it slightly to fit through the rear-facing belt
path in the car seat bottom.

Tip: If you remove the bottom portion of the cover, the harness
