Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the
shoulders 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.
If you cannot achieve a snug harness fi t for your child, you may
need to adjust the harness system. See pages 15-17.

Do not put snowsuits or bulky garments on your
child when placing them in the child restraint.
