Britax 55 manual Fasten the chest clip

Page 59

5Position the harness straps around the child.

6Fasten the harness buckle.

* Proper connection is confirmed with a click after inserting each buckle tongue.

7Check for proper harness height, and pull any excess slack up to the child’s shoulder area before tightening.

8Pull the harness adjuster strap up and away from the child seat to tighten the harness.

* The harness should have a comfortable but snug fit around the 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. You should not be able to pinch excess.

9Fasten the chest clip.

* The correct height for the chest clip is at the middle of the chest at armpit level.
