Fitting the harness
Before using the car seat, check that the harness is properly adjusted for your baby’s size.
Step 1.
Properly dress your baby. Use clothing with legs so crotch strap can be securely latched.
Step 2.
Put your baby in the seat. Make sure that baby is sitting with back and bottom flat against the seat as shown.

Check that harness straps are set at the proper height. Straps must go into the harness slots nearest to your baby’s shoulders but not above the shoulder line.

DO NOT use upper harness slots with a small infant. The harness may not securely hold a small baby in a crash.
Step 4.
To change harness slots, first remove your baby. Depress the harness adjustment button at the front of the seat and pull on the harness to slacken it.
Step 5.
Behind the seat, take the shoulder strap ends off the metal junction plate and pull the straps through the slots in the seat. Insert them into the appropriate set of slots. Reassemble the strap ends onto the junction plate.
The ends of the harness straps have two loops.
