Reclining Child Restraint

Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the shoulders
vertically between index finger and thumb as
shown.
If your fingers slip off
, the harness is tight
enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap
, tighten more. The harness
straps should be snug throughout their length.
A snug harness strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively
straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or
push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
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.
To keep infant warm, buckle your child
in the child restraint and place a blanket
around the child or place the child’s coat
on backwards after buckling in.
