13.0 Adjusting Head Support/Harness Straps

To adjust head support/harness strap height see page 39.

6.Make sure straps are flat and snug against child’s shoulders and thighs. You should not be able to pinch the harness straps. 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.

CHECK that child’s ears are BELOW top of head support. If tops of ears are above top of head support, child is too large for harnessed use.

When using with built-in harness always use one of the bottom 4 height positions.

BEFORE adjusting the head support height, have your child lean forward slightly.

Squeeze the red adjustment handle on top of seat and pull head support up until it snaps into one of the bottom 4 height positions .

To lower, squeeze red adjustment handle and push down.

CHECK to make sure it is securely snapped into one of the bottom 4 height positions by pulling up on head support.
