Check Harness/Headrest
Height
With child in the child restraint,
check the location of the upper
harness guides.
Follow the guidelines below to determine the correct
harness/headrest height.
Failure to place buckle strap’s metal retainer
completely through pad and shell can result in
serious injury or death.
To Adjust Harness/
Headrest Height
Make sure the harness straps
are loose. While rotating
the headrest/harness height
adjustment levers inward,
move headrest up or down
to the proper height and lock
into place.

Forward-Facing Position
Upper harness guides must be
even with
or just above
the shoulders.
If the upper harness guides are below the
child’s shoulders with the headrest in the highest position and
the child weighs at least 18 kg (40 lb) and is over 1 year old,
you must convert the child restraint to a booster seat.
Rear-Facing Position
Upper harness guides must be
even with or
just below
the shoulders.
If the upper harness guides are above the
child’s shoulders with the headrest in the lowest position,
do
not
use this child restraint.
Children have a tendency to want
to slouch. Make sure the child’s bottom and back are flat
against the child restraint. If harness height is still incorrect, call
Consumer Relations for more detailed help.
Make sure
metal
bar
is locked
into position.
Failure to do this can
result in serious injury
or death.
Do not use this child restraint
rear-facing if the top of your
child’s head is above the top of
the child restraint’s headrest.
Do not use this child restraint
forward-facing if the midpoint
of your child’s ears are above
the top of the child restraint’s
headrest.
Make sure the harness height is correct for
your child’s size.
Incorrect use of the harness system is
the most common mistake people make.
Verify frequently that the harness height
is correct for your child’s size. It is very
important to read, understand and follow
all instructions and warnings.
Failure to follow these steps can result in
serious injury or death.
