Harness Covers

The harness covers help to provide 
comfort to the infant’s neck. For 
harness covers to fit correctly you 
may have to push the ends of the 
covers through the upper harness 
guides.
There are different harness cover 
styles, depending on your model. 
To remove the harness covers 
with fastening strips, you will have 
to undo the fastening strips and 
remove harness covers. 

To remove harness covers without fastening strips, you will 
have to unhook the harness straps from splitter plate, pull 
harness straps out of the upper harness guides and remove 
harness covers. Rethread harness straps and re-hook the 
harness strap loops onto the splitter plate (see section C-9).

Lumbar Support

There are different lumbar support 
styles depending on your model. 
To remove the lumbar
support either, loosen harness
system and pull the lumbar
support out from behind the
harness system; or remove the 
buckle (see section C-2) and pull 
the lumbar support out from behind 
the harness system. Replace the 
buckle (see section C-2).

from behind the harness straps.

Head Pillow

The head pillow provides extra 
comfort for your child. To remove the 
pillow, undo the fastening strip from
