Securing Your Child
Securing Your Child
Once the child restraint has been
installed in the vehicle, follow these
instructions to secure your child in the
child restraint.
IMPORTANT:
Before securing your child
in the restraint, always check the adjuster
area for debris (e.g. food, coins, toys,
etc.). If debris is present, it must be
removed to prevent interference with the
adjuster mechanism.
1
Loosen the harness, by lifting the
adjuster lever located in front of the
restraint, then pull the shoulder straps
forward (Fig. A).
2
Unfasten the chest clip by squeezing the
middle tab. (Fig. B).
3
Unfasten the buckle by pressing down on
the middle button.
4
Move harness straps to the side of the
restraint. To aid in holding the straps, insert
the pieces of the chest clip into elastic
loops on the cover.
5
Place child in the restraint.
6
Position the harness straps around the
child and fasten the child restraint buckle
(Fig. C). Proper connection is confirmed
with a positive click after inserting the
second buckle tongue.
7
Gently pull up on the harness straps to
tighten the lap section of the harness,
which should fit low on your child's body.
8
Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten
the harness around the child (Fig. D).
IMPORTANT:
Harness should have a
comfortable, but SNUG, fit around the
child. A snug fit allows you to place two
fingers between your child's collar bone
and the harness.
9
Fasten the chest clip by connecting the
two halves together (Fig. E).
IMPORTANT:
The correct height for the
chest clip is at the middle of the chest, level
with the child's armpit (Fig. F).
10
Verify that harness is not twisted and
child is properly secured.
See Checking Harness Height on page 22.
