5.2 Setting up the Patterned cover
The 5-point harness is fitted to the seat cover before the seat cover is fitted to the Snugseat.
Tip.
The harness length adjuster always goes over the user’s thighs, NEVER the
shoulders.
Fit the harness to the seat cover by inserting all straps from the
patterned side of the cover. When passing the buckle through
the slots in the harness always twist the buckle so that the
smallest side passes through the slot first.
(See picture
opposite).
Insert both shoulder straps and black buckles through the
nearest slot that is above the child’s shoulder height.
Insert the pelvic straps and buckles through the slots in the
seat section, which are at the rear and side of the seat. Always
make sure that the harness adjustment mechanism remains on the patterned side of the cover.
To insert the groin strap first remove the buckle. Note how the webbing is threaded through
the buckle. (See picture on page 17). Thread the groin strap through the slots in the Tummy
pad, Patterned cover, Seat cushion then through the slot in the seat shell so that the strap
comes out the front of the casting between the holes that the footplate rods fit into. Thread the
strap through the buckle as shown below. Finally adjust the strap to the desired length and
then push the buckle into the slot in the casting.
