Place baby in the child restraint.
The baby’s back and
bottom should be flat against the restraint.

a gap, the baby will not be comfortable.

Bring each harness strap over
the child’s shoulders. Insert the
buckle tongues into the buckle.
Pull up on the harness strap to
check that the buckle tongues
are fastened.
2
The harness straps must be snug
against the child.
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.
Check the harness straps near the
shoulders for slack. You should
NOT
be able to pinch the harness
(see illustration). Adjust as needed.
Fasten the chest clip by
snapping the two halves
together, as shown.
Slide chest clip to armpit
level.
Lift the child restraint and flip the
recline stand, located under the
child restraint seat, to either the
upright or recline position.
Note:
Recline position
is to be
used for rear-facing

When the recline stand is in
the recline position, wrap
Velcro® strap around the
recline stand and insert the
end of the strap through the
D-ring, as shown.
Pull until just taut and
adhere Velcro to itself, as
shown. (Overtightening
could cause the strap to
detach from the product).
