Proper Harness Height & Child Height
IMPORTANT:
Give a firm, upward tug on both harness straps behind the child’s
shoulders and close to the harness slots in the restraint, to
confirm there is no harness slack behind the restraint.
8. Confirm harness is not twisted and lays flat against child.
9. Properly position harness clip so that it is level with child’s
armpits.
10. Confirm harness height is correct (see below for correct
Harness Height).
11. Confirm harness buckle location is correct (see page 35 for
correct center buckle position).
WARNING:
ONLY use top three shoulder harness positions for forward-
facing child.
1. Secure child in restraint (see page 32 for properly securing the
harness).
2. Confirm correct harness height:
Rear-facing (Fig. 1): Straps should be in nearest slot at or
below the level of child’s shoulders.
Forward-facing (Fig. 2): Straps should be in nearest slot at or
above the level of child’s shoulders.
3. If harness height is not correct, you MUST adjust it before
using restraint with that child.
(See page 34 for adjusting
harness height.)
