in the restraint. The harness must fit firmly around the upper torso of the
child and be positioned so as to leave the child’s arms and legs free.

more than 25mm below the child’s shoulders. If when
in the top slots, the harness straps are more than 25mm
below the level of the child’s shoulders or child weighs
more than 18kg, then the child is too large for the harness
straps and the restraint should be now used as a booster.
