If there is any possible chance of the child getting the straps caught around
their neck, REMOVE THE HARNESS IMMEDIATELY.

Important - Chest Harness Adjustment
GREAT CARE should be taken when fitting
a chest harness and the following points
should always be followed:
The straps on the harness should never
be allowed to move close to or in any way
cause an obstruction to the childs neck.
The straps should never be fitted too tightly
and should be clear from any obstruction.
The cross strap on the chest harness
should always be adjusted prior to use
to ensure that it is no higher than the
middle of the users chest.
A lap strap should always be fitted if a
harness is being used to ensure the child
cannot slide down onto the cross strap.
Always ensure that the belts offer your
child both comfort and support. If the
childs clothing has been adjusted (i.e. a
jumper removed) the straps should be re-
adjusted accordingly.
Fixing Onto Chair
The straps at the top of the harness should be
attached to the back frame of the chair. The
straps at the bottom of the harness should be
attached to the back of the seat frame.
Fastening of Belts
Feed the fabric belt through the
buckle on the strap.
The belts should be pulled through
enough to suitably support your
child whilst still being comfortable.
When this has been achieved the
buckle should be snapped closed
to secure the strap in place.
