USING CHILD RESTRAINT
WITH BUILT-IN HARNESS
!
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.
SECURING CHILD IN THE CHILD RESTRAINT
1. Open harness chest clip by pressing in pin clips while
pulling apart the two-piece chest
clip ❶.
2. To loosen the harness strap:
Push the up-front metal harness
adjuster at the front of the seat
just
ABOVE
the adjustment strap

WARNING!
!
FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE HARNESS
STRAPS FOR YOUR CHILD INCREASES THE RISK OF
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A
SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH
. In a crash,
the child restraint will provide
NO
protection for your
child unless the harness straps are properly secured.
Follow these instructions carefully.
