1) Once the 5-Point Harness is buckled, adjust the shoulder
straps so that the 5-Point Harness is comfortable, but
SNUG. Adjust the Shoulder Straps by opening the Shoulder
Strap Covers. Underneath you will find the Shoulder
Strap Adjustment buckles. Depress the gray button and
pull slowly on the excess strap to tighten the straps. If you
need to loosen them, keep the gray button depressed
and pull on the tightened portion of the strap.

.
Close the Shoulder Strap Covers.
Please Note:
The 5-Point Harness should be tight enough
to hold your child securely while allowing you to place
one finger between the 5-Point Harness and your child’s
collar bone.
Please Note:
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 flesh or push the
child’s body into an unnatural position.
2) Once the 5-Point Harness is properly adjusted, slide
the Chest Clip so that it is level with your child’s armpit.
Figure 62.
The Crotch Strap portion of the 5-Point Harness
can be adjusted to the correct length for your
child. The appropriate threading method is pictured
in
Figure 63
. It is not necessary to unthread
this strap to adjust its length. You can loosen each
section of the strap to adjust the length.
1) Some vehicles are manufactured with a “Sliding
Tongue” which allows the Lap/Shoulder Belt
to move freely when buckled. The Locking Clip is
provided to prevent the Lap/Shoulder Belt from
loosening.
(Figure 64.)
2) To install, secure the restraint with the Lap/
Shoulder Belt. Slide the Locking Clip around both
ends of the belt, positioning it a few inches from
the buckle.
