Reclining Child Restraint

6. Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the
shoulders vertically between index
finger and thumb as shown.
If your fingers slip off, the
harness is tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap, tighten more. The harness
straps should be snug throughout their length.
5. Position Chest Clip
The chest clip must be placed at
mid-chest (even with armpits) and
away from the child’s neck.
WARNINGS: Failure to fasten and tighten the harness
system correctly may allow the child to be ejected from
the child restraint in a crash or sudden stop causing
serious injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety. Harness system must
be snugly adjusted.
A snug harness 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.
