6.3 Securing Your Child in the

Car Seat

FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE YOUR CHILD
IN THE CAR SEAT INCREASES THE RISK OF
SERIOUS 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

properly secure your child.

• ADJUST THE HARNESS SYSTEM SNUGLY

EVERY TIME you place your child in the car seat.

• Avoid bulky clothing.
