Securing Your Child

IMPORTANT:

• Always pull on harness after securing child to make sure harness buckle and harness adjuster are secure. If not, harness buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food, drink or other objects that need to be removed. See pages 34 – 36 for cleaning instructions.

• Adjust the belts provided with this child restraint so they fit snugly around your child. 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.

Harness Height Adjustment

1�Loosen harness by pressing adjuster release button while pulling harness straps forward as far as possible.

2�Rotate headrest adjustment knob on either side of restraint to raise or lower headrest and harness (fig. F).

NOTE: DO NOT force headrest adjustment knob in either direction. If the knob is difficult to turn, headrest may be at maximum or minimum height.

Before each use, make sure harness is tight.

See “Harness Height” (pg. 30) to determine correct harness height for your child.
