RESTRAINT INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. In a crash the child restraint provides NO protection for your child unless the harness straps are properly secured. Follow these instructions carefully to properly secure your child.

Avoid bulky clothing.

2.Place harness straps over child’s shoulders and insert tongues into buckle until they click into place .

CHECK that straps are not twisted.

CHECK that harness is securely latched by pulling up on straps.
