Adjusting the Child Restraint
(continued)
Adjusting the Harness Fit
1. With the user in the child restraint, check the location of the buckle.
When pulled upright, the buckle should be positioned at the level of the
user’s hips, not over the stomach area. Adjust the harness to fit the
clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky coats and/or jackets before
putting the child in child restraint.
2. If necessary, the position of the buckle can be changed by relocating it
to the other slot.
•
Locate the metal bracket on the under side of the child restraint
that secures the bottom-end of the buckle strap.
•
Turn the metal bracket horizontally so that it fits through the
slot and push it up all the way through, including the cover. Re-
position buckle strap to correct slot.
•
Reverse the process to reinstall, ensuring the metal bracket is
flat against the underside of the child restraint once finished.
3. The shoulder straps can be independently adjusted
by pressing the grey button on the tension adjuster
(see “E” on pg. 8) then adding or removing slack in
the webbing.
Note:
The tension adjuster should be positioned
just below the user’s collar bone. If the tension
adjuster is either too low or too high relative to the
user’s collar bone, then the shoulder harness can
be shortened/lengthened by increasing or decreas-
ing the amount of webbing through the 3-bar metal
bracket on the back side of the child restraint.
4. A
snug
strap
SHOULD NOT
allow any slack
.
It lies in a relatively
straight line without sagging or pressing on the user’s skin or body
causing an unnatural position.
