2. Position harness 

straps.

 

Unfasten chest clip and 
place the child in the 
child restraint.  
Bring each harness strap 
over the child’s shoulders. 

1. Loosen harness.

 

Press the harness release 
button on the front of the 
seat while pulling the  
harness straps.

Securing the Child

IMPORTANT:

 The child’s back and bottom should be flat 

against the restraint. If there is a gap, the child will not be 

comfortable.

3. Buckle the harness.

 

Insert both buckle 
tongues into the buckle. 

 

Note:

 Pull up on the  

harness straps to ensure 
that the buckle tongues 
are fastened securely.

Securing the Child 

4. Fasten and adjust 

chest clip.

 

Snap the two halves of 
the chest clip together, 
as shown, and slide to 
armpit level.

5. Tighten harness.

 

Pull the harness adjuster strap to tighten the harness.

 

Note:

 Check the harness straps near the shoulders for 

slack. You should 

NOT

 be able to pinch the harness 

(see illustration). Adjust as needed.

IMPORTANT:

 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.
