USING CHILD RESTRAINT
WITH BUILT-IN HARNESS
WARNING!
!
FAILURE TO FASTEN AND TIGHTEN THE HARNESS
SYSTEM CORRECTLY MAY CAUSE THE CHILD TO BE
EJECTED FROM THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN CASE
OF A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH
CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. In a crash,
the child restraint will provide NO protection for your
child unless the harness straps are properly secured.
DO NOT mistake comfort for safety. Harness system
MUST be snugly adjusted. Follow these instructions
carefully.
!
Incorrect use of the harness system is the most
common mistake people make. It is
VERY
important
to read, understand and follow
ALL
instructions and
warnings.
DO NOT
mistake comfort for safety. The
harness system
MUST
be snugly adjusted at all times.
! 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 ONE FINGER between the
shoulder straps and the child’s shoulder.
! Avoid unnecessary bulky clothing.
1. To loosen the harness strap: Push the up-front metal
harness adjuster at the front of the seat just ABOVE
the adjustment strap (under the fabric) ❶ and
simultaneously pull the chest strap towards you ❷.
TIP : PULL ON THE HARNESS STRAPS. DO NOT PULL ON
THE HARNESS PADS AS THEY ARE LOCKED IN PLACE.
