switchable ELR/ALR retractor, continue with step #7.

important to read, understand and follow
ALL
instructions and warnings.

Snugly adjust the harness provided with this child restraint around your child. A
snug strap is one with no slack. It should not press on the child’s flesh or cause
your child’s body to be in an unnatural position. You should only be able to slide

Avoid unnecessary bulky clothing.
