Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the
shoulders and hips vertically
between index fi nger and thumb as
shown.
If your fi ngers slip off
, the harness
is tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap
, tighten more.
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
fl esh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.

Position Chest Clip
Slide chest clip up the harness
straps and position it at mid-chest
(even with armpits) and away from
the child’s neck.
WARNINGS
Failure to fasten and tighten the harness system correctly may
allow the child to be ejected from the child restraint in a crash
or sudden stop causing serious injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety. Harness
system must be snugly adjusted.
Do not put snowsuits or bulky garments
on your child when placing them in the
child restraint. Bulky clothing can prevent
the harness straps from being tightened
properly.
