The shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest 
to the child’s shoulders, but not more than 25mm below the 
child's shoulders.

Shoulder straps must be threaded through the appropriate 
shoulder strap slots and then over the top of the bar at the rear 
of the restraint.

ADJUSTING HARNESS STRAP HEIGHT: 

FOR CHILD USE FORWARD-FACING

Correct fitment of the harness is very important as it restrains the child in the restraint. The harness 
must fit firmly around the upper torso of the child and be positioned so as to leave the child’s arms 

and legs free.
The shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not more than 
25mm lower than the child's shoulders. When the child's shoulders reach the upper shoulder height 
marker, the child is too large for the child restraint.
