Adjusting the padded shoulder harness

To achieve the correct size of the padded shoulder harness, sleeve through or remove the shoulder belts with the plastic buckle through these adjustment loops, as indicated below:

XS: Do not sleeve through any adjustment loops; thus unsleeve the shoulder belts from all loops. (without illustration)

S:Only sleeve through the lowest webbing loop. When sized for XS and S, the un-used, upper sections of the shoulder harness go loose over the children‘s shoulders. Smooth them down their back for comfort.
