C. Basic Use
Tighten Harness Straps
Pull on harness adjustment
strap to tighten harness
snugly.
NOTE:
A snug harness
is not loose and lies flat
against the child without
sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the
child’s body into an unnatural position.

Slide chest clip up or down
so that it is at mid-chest
(even with armpits) and
away from the child’s neck.

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.
Harness system must be snugly
adjusted.
Check Harness
Tightness
Try to pinch the harness
straps at the shoulders.
If you can pinch the
harness strap, tighten
more.
If your fingers slip off, the
harness is tight enough.
