5. Use of the Car Seat with
the Built-in Harness
Use of this car seat with the built-in harness is
meant for a child:
who weighs from
20 to 40 lbs.
(9 to 18 kg) and
is between
27 and 40 inches
(69 and 102 cm) in
height, and
who is at least
one year old
and can sit upright
unassisted, and
whose shoulders are
below
top harness slots. If
shoulders are above top harness slots, child is
too large for built-in harness. You
must
remove
the harness and use the booster seat with your
vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system.
Failure to properly adjust the harness straps for your
child increases the risk of serious injury or death in
the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. The
harness straps must be properly adjusted to fit your
child according to the following instructions.
Note that there are three posi-
tions for the shoulder harness
straps. The harness straps
must go into the slots that
are
even with or just above
your child’s shoulders
.
