HOW TO USE

       CAUTION: 

Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled as this increases the risk 
of ejection and injury or death in a crash. The harness needs to fit firmly to the baby, 
any blanket or other covering may be placed over the harness after the harness is 
adjusted. Arms and legs must be free and not bound. The legs must sit on each side 
of the crotch strap.

C.  Place baby into Baby Capsule lying on its back so that the 

buckle is between the baby’s legs. Ensure that baby’s arms 
and legs are free. Make sure baby is dressed to allow the 
Harness Buckle to be pulled up between baby’s legs e.g. 
a jump suit. 

NOTE:

1.  Discontinue using the Padded Insert when shoulder straps 

are in the top slots or if the Pad causes over heating, 
discomfort or you need more room for baby to grow.

2.  Correct fitment of the harness is very important as it 

restrains the baby in the Baby Capsule. The harness must 
fit firmly around upper torso of the baby and be positioned 
to leave the baby’s arms and legs free.
