Place harness straps over child’s shoulders and thighs.
Place top of buckle tongues together and insert buckle tongues into buckle (fig. b).
You should hear a click.
Pull up on tongues to be sure they are locked.
Pull harness adjuster strap (fig. c) to snugly adjust harness straps.
- Check that harness straps are snug on shoulder and thighs. Straps should not
allow a finger to pass between the belt and the child’s shoulder.
- A snug harness 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.
NOTE: If harness can not be snugly adjusted as described above, do not use
this infant car seat.
Close chest clip and position chest clip at arm pit level (fig. d).
Small infants:
For a small infant, a rolled towel can be used on each side for support (fig. d).
Towels MUST not interfere with the ability to snugly adjust the harness system.
DO NOT place towel or other items behind infant or between infant and harness.
