Securing Your Child

6Fasten the harness buckle.

* Proper connection is confirmed with a click after inserting each buckle tongue.

7Pull the excess slack up to the child’s shoulder area while moving the HUGSchest pads down toward the buckle.

8Pull the harness adjuster strap up and away from the child seat to tighten the harness.

* The harness should have a comfortable but snug fit around the 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. You should not be able to pinch excess.
