Position

Into Correct Harness 
Location

Make sure harness does 
not twist.

b.

 

Attach Harness Straps 
to Splitter Plate 

From the back of the child 
restraint, fit the harness 
strap loops onto the 
splitter plate. 

Make sure sewn ends of the harness strap loops face 
towards you. DO NOT twist harness straps or harness 
tightening strap and make sure the harness straps are 
COMPLETELY ON the splitter plate.

Using the Lowest 
Harness Slots

When using the lowest 
harness slots, you 

MUST

position. This will allow a 
proper fit for the lowest 
harness slot use.

retainers.
