Securing Child with Harness System

8. Check that the straps are not twisted and 

lie flat over the shoulders.  

9. Tighten the harness straps to snugly 

adjust harness around child by pulling 

the Harness Adjuster Strap at the front of 

the Car Seat as shown. (Fig 49-1)

10. Connect the Harness Clip and 

position the Harness Clip at the middle 

of the child’s chest, level with the 

armpits. 

12. Check Harness Straps - Make sure the straps are flat and snug 

against the child’s shoulders and thighs.   

NOTE: A snug 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.

Removing Your Child from Harness System
1. Open Harness Clip by pressing button and sliding apart.

2. Unbuckle the Harness Buckle by pressing the red button.

3. Press the Harness Adjuster Button and pull outward on the  

straps to loosen.

4. Slide the harness straps off the child’s shoulders and arms.

5. Remove your child.

11.2 Adjusting Harness Strap Height

The Car Seat includes a sliding Adjustable Back that will adjust 

the height of the harness straps as the back is adjusted.

1.  The proper height of the harness 

straps is at or just below your child’s 

shoulders. 

2.  Rotate the knob behind the seat back 

to raise or lower the moving seat back 

and harness straps.

- To adjust the seat back height, 

turn the moving back adjuster 

knob behind the seat clockwise to 

increase the seat back height and 

counter clockwise to decrease the 

seat back height. Each half turn will 

raise or lower the slots 1/2”.

- Knob must remain in vertical position 

after adjustment. (Fig. 50-1)   DO 

NOT use the Car Seat with the 

Harness adjusted above the child’s 

shoulders as the child will not be 

held securely in a sharp turn, sudden 

stop, or crash.

50-1

Knob handle must 

be vertical
