Proper Harness Height & Child Height
IMPORTANT:
Give a firm, upward tug on both harness straps behind the
child’s shoulders and close to the harness slots in the restraint,
to confirm there is no harness slack behind the restraint.
8. Confirm harness is not twisted
and lays flat against child.
9. Fasten harness clip and
position it so that it is level
with child’s armpits. (Fig. 4)
10. Confirm harness height is
correct
(see below for correct
Harness Height).
11. Confirm harness buckle location is correct
(see page 37 for
correct center buckle position).
WARNING:
ONLY use top three shoulder harness positions for
forward-facing child. When using the top harness
position, child’s shoulders can be above harness slot as
long as child is proper height.
1. Secure the child into the child restraint (see page 34 for
properly securing the child in the child restraint).
2. Confirm correct harness height:
• Rear-facing (Fig. 1): Straps should be in nearest slot at
or below the level of child’s shoulders.
• Forward-facing (Fig. 2): Straps should be in nearest
slot above the level of child’s shoulders.
3. If harness height is not correct, you MUST adjust it
before using restraint with that child.
(See page 36 for
adjusting harness height.)
