Putting on the Upsee

Step 1

Adult Belt 

1.  Place the belt low around your hips, 

roughly 2 inches below your waist 
with the top of the triangular back 
support pointing upwards*. Clip 
together.

Wearing the belt too high around your 
waist may cause back strain. 

Step 2

Child Harness

Laying the harness flat and placing the 
child into it on his back is the easiest 
method.

1.  Lay the Upsee on a comfortable 

surface.

2.  Lay the child back into the harness, 

matching their pelvis, chest and 
underarms to the vest.

2. Pull both ‘D’ rings away from the 

centre buckle to tighten the belt*. 
Ensure the webbing does not 
become twisted. 

The belt needs to be tight enough so 
the child’s weight cannot not pull it 
down below the hips.
