To Check Harness Height:
Place child in restraint, then secure
harness (
see pages 28–29
) .
Observe where the shoulder harness is
positioned on the child .
•
Rear-Facing Strap Height:
Harness
straps should be located in the nearest
slot at or below the child’s shoulder .
•
Forward-Facing Strap Height:
Harness
straps should be located in the nearest
slot at or above the child’s shoulder .
If harness height is okay, continue using
child restraint without adjustment . If
harness height requires adjustment, refer

IMPORTANT:
Once the top slots become
necessary, the child may continue to use
the restraint until the top of the ears
become level with the top of the restraint
shell or child’s weight exceeds 65 pounds
(29 .5 kg) .
