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 HUGS™ chest pads down toward the buckle.

8Pull the harness adjuster strap up 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.
