- Securing Child: Use the 5-point harness system (17-22) for each child. Ensure the shoulder belts are not crossed and are adjusted properly, with enough space for one finger's thickness between the child and the harness.
- Adjusting Shoulder Harness: For larger children, use anchor A and the higher shoulder slots (23-25). For smaller children, use anchor B and the lowest shoulder slots. Always check that the shoulder and waist harnesses are at the proper height and length after placing the child in the seat.
