Securing Your Child

WARNING!

Adjust the belts provided with this child seat so they fit snugly around your 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.

Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child in the child seat.

The HUGS™ chest pads must be used at all times when installing the child seat forward-facing.

Verify that the child seat is secure and the harness is properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used.

Before You Begin:

Follow the instructions on pages 16 and 17 to make the proper adjustments to the harness and buckle.

*Rear-facing 5 – 40 lbs (2.3 – 18.1 kg) position 3 only.

*Forward-facing 20 – 70 lbs (9.1 31.8 kg) AND 1 year of age. Position 1 or position 2 may be used.
