Failure to properly adjust the harness on your child
increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Please follow the
instructions very closely to ensure that the harness is
properly adjusted to fit your child at all times. Your child
will grow very rapidly! Please check the fit of the harness
every time you use the Safety Seat.

9) Use of the Safety Seat with the Base:

a) Squeeze the Base Release handle, located

below the foot end of the Safety Seat, to

release the Safety Seat from the Base. Please

see figure 28-1.

b) To attach the Safety Seat to the Base, align the

Safety seat with the Base and push down until

the Safety Seat latches onto the Base. Check

that both sides of the Safety Seat are securely

attached to the base.

10) Operation of the Carry Handle

a) The Carry Handle has three positions: the

upright carry position, a mid-storage position,

and the non-rocking position.

b) Depress the two buttons located on the

handle just above the connection to the

Safety Seat shell to release the handle.

c) Slowly rotate the handle to the desired

position. The buttons should pop out and

the handle should automatically lock into

the new position.

d) Before lifting the Safety Seat, push on the

handle to check that both sides of the handle

have locked into place.

Use the Mid Storage or non-rocking

position when the Safety seat is the vehicle.

11) Attaching the Canopy

a) Slip the canopy stays through the sleeves

on the canopy.

b) The canopy is attached by inserting the

ends of the canopy plastic stays into the

female fittings found on the inside of the

handle hub.

12) Adjustment of the Shoulder Straps.

a) Adjustable Back Safety Seat

i) The Adjustable Back Safety Seat includes a sliding

back component that will adjust the height of the

harness straps as the back is adjusted.

ii) To adjust the seat back height, turn the moving

back adjuster knob behind the seat clockwise to

increase the seat back height and counter clockwise

to decrease the seat back height. Each half turn will

raise or lower the slots

1/2

iii) The proper height of the harness straps is even

with or just below your child's shoulders.

iv) Remove the Safety Seat from the Base and rotate

the Carry Handle to the non rocking position. Place

your child in the Safety Seat such that your child's

bottom is all the way to the rear and bottom of the

seat. (See Fig. 32-1) Rotate the knob behind the

seat back to raise or lower the moving seat back and

harness straps. Knob must remain in vertical

position after adjustment. (Fig. 31-1) The Harness

Straps must be even with or just below the child's

shoulders. (Fig. 31-2) DO NOT use the Safety Seat

with the Harness adjusted above the child's

shoulders as the child will not be held securely in a

sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash.
