Positioning of the Harness
(Rear-facing or Forward-facing)
WARNING:
• Serious injury or death can result if child is not properly secured
in car seat. Confirm harness is snug before each use and after
making any car seat adjustments.
A snug harness strap should not
allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging.
It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the child’s body into
an unnatural position.
Confirm proper car seat
installation.
To loosen harness: lift silver lever
and pull shoulder straps forward.
Unfasten chest clip and harness
buckle, and move harness straps
to the sides.
Properly position child in car seat:
sitting upright and all the way
back in the car seat.
Position harness straps around
child and fasten harness buckle
with circle buckle pad between
buckle and child.
Confirm harness buckle is
properly fastened by gently
tugging.
Gently pull harness straps
upward to snugly fit lap portion
of harness which should fit low
on child’s body, across the hips.
Slowly pull harness adjuster strap
downward (forward-facing) or
straight up (rear-facing), using a
pull-tug, pull-tug motion, to
tighten harness for a comfortable
and snug fit around child.
