Failure  to  properly  adjust  the  harness  on  your  child 
increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of 
a  sharp  turn,  sudden  stop  or  crash.    Please  follow  the 
instructions  very  closely  to  ensure  that  the  harness  is 
properly  adjusted  to  fit  your  child  at  all  times.    Your  child 
will grow very rapidly!  Please check the fit of the harness 
every time you use the Safety Seat.
