Failure to fasten and tighten the harness system correctly
may allow the child to be ejected from the child restraint in
a crash or sudden stop causing serious injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety.
The harness system must be snugly
adjusted.
Do not put snowsuits or bulky garments
on your child when placing them in the
child restraint. Bulky clothing can prevent
the harness straps from being tightened
properly.

Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness strap at the
shoulder vertically between your index
fi nger and thumb as shown.
If your fi ngers slip off,
the harness
system is tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap,
tighten more.

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 fl esh or push the child’s body
into an unnatural position.
