REARWARD FACING

HOW TO USE

HOW TO ADJUST HEADREST & 

HASSLE FREE HARNESS™

A.  Loosen the harness straps before adjusting the headrest.
B.  To adjust the headrest, pull on the latch on the back of the restraint and pull up or down to position the 
top of the shoulder strap slot above the child's shoulders. Release the latch to lock the headrest in position. 
Pull headrest upwards to check it is locked in position. 
C. This method can be used when the child restraint is installed in the vehicle in rearward facing position. 
Small adjustments may be possible with the child still in the seat.

Latch

Pull

Ensure harness and headrest are positioned so that the shoulder straps are just above or 
inline with the child's shoulders but not lower. The bottom of the headrest side wings will 
usually be just above the infant's shoulders.
It is not necessary to remove the harness straps to adjust the headrest position. Refer to 
Care and Maintenance for cover removal page 79.
