Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the
shoulders vertically between index
finger and thumb as shown.
If your fingers slip off
, the
harness is tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap
, tighten more. The harness
straps should be snug throughout their length.
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
flesh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
WARNINGS:
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.
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 tight-
ened properly.
