6.3 Securing Your Child in the
Car Seat
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE YOUR CHILD IN
THE CAR SEAT INCREASES THE RISK OF SERI-
OUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A
SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH.
In a crash, the car seat provides NO protection for
your child unless the harness straps are properly
secured. Follow these instructions carefully to prop-
erly secure your child.
• ADJUST THE HARNESS SYSTEM SNUGLY
EVERY TIME you place your child in the car seat.
• Avoid bulky clothing.
