Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the
shoulders vertically between index
finger and thumb as shown.
If your fingers slip off
, the harness is
tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap
, tighten more. The harness
strap should be snug throughout their length.

Position Chest Clip
The chest clip must be placed at
mid-chest (even with armpits) and
away from the child’s neck.

system correctly may allow the child to be ejected from
the child restraint in a crash or sudden stop causing
serious injury or death.

relatively straight line without sagging. They do not press on the
child’s fl esh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
