6. Tighten  harness.

 

Pull the harness adjuster strap

 

to tighten the harness. 

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. 

5. Remove all slack in  

harness.

 

Pull upward on the  
harness straps 

near the 

hips,

 as shown

,

 to  

ensure that all slack is 
removed.

Important

  Check the harness straps near the shoulders for slack. 

You should 

NOT

 be able to pinch the harness (see 

illustration). Adjust as needed.
