Important checklist before tightening the harness:
Check for proper harness height (see pages 9
6 – 7).
Remove slack from around the child’s upper
9
thighs.
Remove slack between HUGS
9 TM chest pads
and buckle.
Slowly pull the adjuster strap until the harness 8
is snug around the child (Fig. D). The harness
adjust will click when the harness is snug.
NOTE: The Click & Safe TM Snug
Harness Indicator is and audible aide
to help determine when the harness is
within range of appropriate snugness.
When tightening the harness, this
audible click provides extra assurance
that the harness is snug.
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.
You should not be able to pinch excess
•
webbing at the shoulder once the harness is
properly secured.
If there is still slack in the harness, review the 9
checklist above and then pull the harness adjuster
strap again until another click indicates a snug
harness.
Position the chest clip at the middle of the child’s
10
chest, level with the child’s armpits (Fig. E).
Verify that the harness is not twisted and the child is properly secured.

I MPORTANT: Always pull on the harness after securing the child to
ensure the buckle tongues are secure in the harness buckle.

Buckling and Tightening the Harness
Loosen the harness by lifting the harness 1
adjuster release lever located on the front of the
child seat while pulling both shoulder straps
forward (Fig. A).
Release the chest clip by squeezing the tabs and
2
sliding the pieces apart (Fig. B).
Unfasten the harness buckle by pressing the
3
release button and sliding the tongues out.
Move the harness straps to the side of the child
4
seat.
Use the harness holders located on the straps •
and both sides of the cover to aid in holding the
straps.
IMPORTANT: Remove bulky coats and/or jackets
before putting the child in child seat. Adjust the
harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing.
Place child in the child seat. 5
Position harness straps around the child and 6
fasten harness buckle (Fig. C) and chest clip.
Proper connection of the harness buckle is •
confirmed with an audible click after inserting
each buckle tongue.
If the buckle will not fasten with an audible
•
click after insertion of each buckle tongue,
the harness buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food,
drink or other debris that needs to be removed. See page 39 for
cleaning instructions.
Slide the HUGS 7 ™ chest pads down towards the buckle.
Pull the harness adjuster away
from the child seat to tighten.
Do not pull sideways.
