WARNING!
• Never route the vehicle seat belt over the child when
using this child seat in harness mode.

fit snugly around your child. 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.
• The HUGS™ chest pads must be used at all times.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing.
Remove bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the
child in the child seat.
