Child Seat Functions
Care and Maintenance
6Position harness straps around the child and fasten the harness buckle (Fig. A) and chest clip (Fig. B).
•Proper connection of the harness buckle is confirmed with a positive click after inserting each buckle tongue.
•If the buckle will not fasten with a positive click after inserting each buckle tongue, the harness buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food, drink or other debris that needs to be removed. See page 36 for cleaning instructions.
IMPORTANT: Gently pull up on the harness straps to tighten lap section of the harness which should fit across the child’s upper thighs.
7Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten the harness around the child (Fig. C).
8Position the chest clip at the middle of the child’s chest, level with the armpits (Fig. D).
9Verify that harness is not twisted and child is properly secured.
IMPORTANT:
•Always pull on the harness after securing the child to ensure the buckle tongues are secure in the harness buckle.
•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. The harness should have a comfortable but snug fit around the child. You should not be able to pinch excess webbing at the shoulder once the harness is properly secured.
