5. Tighten harness.
Pull the harness adjuster strap at the front of the seat
to tighten the harness.
Note: Check the harness straps near the shoulders for
slack. You should NOT be able to pinch the harness (see
illustration). Adjust as needed.
IMPORTANT: 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.
1. Loosen harness
straps.
Actuate the harness
release lever on the front
of the seat while pulling
the harness straps.
IMPORTANT: The child’s back and bottom should be flat
against the restraint. If there is a gap, the child will not be
comfortable.
IMPORTANT: Pull up on the harness straps to ensure that
the buckle tongues are fastened securely.
Note: Make sure crotch buckle is positioned properly (p. 33).
