C. Basic Use
Tighten Harness Straps
Pull on harness adjustment
strap to tighten harness
snugly.
NOTE:
A snug harness
is not loose and lies flat
against the child without
sagging. It does not press
on the child’s flesh or push
the child’s body into an
unnatural position.

Position Chest Clip
Slide chest clip up or down
so that it is at mid-chest
(even with armpits) and
away from the child’s neck.

Failure to fasten and tighten the harness system
correctly may allow the child to be ejected from
the child restraint in a crash or sudden stop
causing serious injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety. Harness
system must be snugly adjusted.
