7. Securing Your Child in the Safety
Seat/Carrier
1. Make sure that the harness straps are in the proper slots for your child
according to section 6, “Inserting the Harness Straps in the Proper Slots”
(page 30).
2. Make sure that your child is dressed in clothing which:
a. Allows the harness straps to securely latch between your child’s legs.
b. Keeps the straps on your child’s shoulders.
36
Failure to properly secure your child in the safety seat/carrier increases
the risk of serious injury or death from suffocation or falls, or in the
event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
In a crash, the safety seat provides NO protection for your child unless
the harness straps are properly secured. Even when used only as a
carrier, make sure the harness straps are properly secured.
Follow these instructions carefully to properly secure your child.
