Check Harness Tightness
Unfasten harness covers.
Try to pinch the harness at the
shoulders vertically between index
fi nger and thumb as shown.
If your fi ngers slip off
, the harness
is tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness
strap
, tighten more.
Fasten harness covers.
A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively
straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child’s fl esh
or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
