1.8 Child Placement and Seatbelts
WARNING: Failure to properly attach seatbelts could result in serious injury or death to occupants in the event of an accident.
TWO CHILDREN (CX 2)
Your CX carrier comes with a padded shoulder harness. Shoulder harness length can be adjusted by removing the shoulder harness straps from either one or both of the adjustment loops. The harness is adjusted to the middle position on the small child and the long position on the larger child as in the diagram. The third and final arrangement is achieved by removing the straps from both adjustment loops.
1.Lift shoulder harnesses and Velcro to upper seat frame, so that harnesses do not interfere with seating the children.
2.Seat children in carrier, place outer crotch straps between legs of children and adjust so buckles are centered on children’s lower chests.
3.Place shoulder harnesses over children’s head and slide ladder locks downwards to fit the harnesses snugly over their shoulders.
4.Secure the bottom of the harnesses with the buckles on the crotch strap.
5.Pull the loose strap ends from over the children’s shoulders to snugly secure the top of the harnesses.
6.Fasten lap belt buckles and tighten snugly.
