ADJUSTING THE PADDED SHOULDER HARNESS
1.Unbuckle and remove the padded shoulder harness from the carrier. To undo the buckle hidden
behind the Chariot logo, squeeze in from the sides of the fabric cover.
2.Located on the upper front of the shoulder harness are three adjustment loops per side: two made of
webbing, one of cord. You will use these to fit the shoulder harness to one of four different sizes: XS,
S, M & L.
3.To achieve the correct size, sleeve through or remove the shoulder belts with the plastic buckle
through these adjustment loops, as indicated below:
XS: Do not sleeve through any adjustment loops; thus unsleeve the shoulder belts from all loops.
S: Only sleeve through the lowest webbing loop. When sized for XS and S, the un-used, upper sec-
tions of the shoulder harness go loose over their shoulders. Smooth them down their back for comfort.
M: Sleeve through both webbing loops. This is the default setting.
L: Sleeve through both webbing loops and the top cord loop.
4.Reinstall the shoulder harness into the carrier using the three plastic buckles. The male buckle on the
crotch belt clips into the female buckle behind the logo in the shoulder harness.

.
Notes: The padded shoulder harness should be symmetrical and level (the Chariot logo should be hor-
izontal). Do not cross the shoulder belts to use up extra shoulder belt length. Do not pass the shoulder
harness under an infant's arms to hold them in a sitting position. Use a Baby Bivy, an Infant Sling or a
Baby Supporter with a child that cannot sit upright unsupported.
TWO CHILDREN
1. Undo the two buckles located at the top of the padded shoulder harness, leaving it attached to the
crotch belt, but flipped down.
2. Seat your child(ren).
3. Slide the shoulder belt height adjustment located on the vertical web straps, in the seat back, to the
same height as your child(ren)'s shoulders.
4. Lift up the shoulder harness and connect the buckles over each shoulder. Be careful to not pinch your
child's neck.
5. Adjust the system using the crotch belt and shoulder belt length adjustments until the Chariot logo
located on the shoulder harness is positioned over their lower chest.
6. Buckle the waist belt(s) around their hips. The waist belt goes in front of the crotch belt and the buckle
should be centered.
7. Snugly tighten all belts.
1.10 Child Placement and Seatbelts
WARNING: Failure to properly attach seatbelts could result in serious injury or death to occupants in the event of an accident.
WARNING: Failure to seat a single child in the center position could cause the carrier to tip over causing serious injury or death.
WARNING: Always adjust shoulder harness and crotch strap so they meet at child’s lower chest. Adjusting harnesses and buckles near your
child’s neck could cause serious injury.
