Place baby in the child restraint. The baby’s back and
bottom should be flat against the restraint. If there is
a gap, the baby will not be comfortable.
Unbuckle harness and
unfasten chest clip
(p. 62).
Place the child in the child
restraint. Check the crotch
strap position, see page 59
to change positions.
Bring each harness strap
over the child’s shoulders.
Rear-facing: Start with
the headrest in its lowest
position. Adjust headrest
so the harness straps are at
or just below the child’s
shoulders.
Forward-facing: Start
with the headrest in its
highest position. Adjust
headrest so the harness
straps are at or just above
the child’s shoulders.
Note: The child’s head
should be centered within
the headrest foam.
Securing the Child in the Child Restraint

button on the front of the

Securing the Child in the Child Restraint
(cont.)
Snap the two halves of
the chest clip together, as
shown, and slide to armpit
level.
Insert both buckle tongues
into the buckle. Pull up on
the harness strap to check
that the buckle tongues
are fastened and to remove
any slack from the webbing
around the child's legs.
Hold the chest clip while
pulling the harness
adjustment strap so that
the chest clip does not ride
up into the childs neck.
The harness straps must
be snug against 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
flesh or push the child’s
body into an unnatural
position.
Check the harness straps
near the shoulders for
slack. You should NOT be
able to pinch the harness
(see illustration). Adjust as
needed.
