5 Securing
Child
2.
Place Your Child in the Seat
Make sure their back is flat against the car
seat back.
Avoid bulky or heavy clothing. Doing so
will prevent the harness straps from being
tightened properly. Place a blanket over the
child after you have secured the child.
3.
Place Harness Straps Over
Child’s Shoulders and Buckle
You will hear a “click” when buckle tongues
are securely attached. Pull up on each buckle
tongue to make sure it is securely attached.
Forward-Facing: Harness straps
should be at or just above the child’s
shoulders. Top of child’s ears below top
of headrest.
4.
Be Sure the Harness Straps
Are at the Proper Height
Rear-Facing: Harness straps should be at
or just below the child’s shoulders. Top of
head must be 1” (2.5 cm) below the headrest
adjustment lever.
