6.1Positioning Harness Straps

FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE HARNESS STRAPS FOR YOUR CHILD INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. The harness straps must be properly adjusted to fit your child according to the following instructions.

1.Remove infant restraint from base and rotate handle down to sitting position. See “3.3 Removing and Attaching Base” and “3.4 Adjusting Handle”, p. 13.

2. Place child in infant restraint as shown ✁.

3. Determine which pair of harness slots are even

with or just below your child’s shoulders ✂.

DO NOT use upper harness slots if they are above your child’s shoulders. They will not hold a small child securely in a sudden stop or crash.

4. If the harness straps must be adjusted: remove child from infant restraint and follow directions for your type of harness system:
