Securing Your Child in the Carrier (cont.)
Slowly pull harness adjuster
strap to make the shoulder
straps snug around the child’s
shoulders.
BE CAREFUL. DO NOT allow
the chest clip to slide up into
their neck when tightening.
MAKE SURE to center the
chest clip at armpit level.
CHECK to make sure harness
is AT or JUST BELOW the
child’s shoulders.
CHECK STEP:
MAKE SURE the straps are
flat, not twisted and snug. If
you can pinch a fold in the
strap it is not snug.
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 flesh or push the
child’s body into an unnatural
position.

IMPORTANT: The crotch strap should ALWAYS be
as close as possible to, but NEVER under, the child’s
bottom. Adjust the crotch strap if necessary (p. 76-79).
The waist straps should ALWAYS be as close as
possible to, but NEVER under, the child’s legs. Adjust
the waist straps if necessary (p. 80-85).
