Checking Harness Height
To Check Harness Height:
1 Place child in restraint, then secure harness (see pages
2 Observe where the shoulder harness is positioned on the child.
•Rear Facing Strap Height: Harness straps should be located in the nearest slot at or below the child’s shoulder.
•Forward Facing Strap Height: Harness straps should be located in the nearest slot at or above the child’s shoulder.
3 If harness height is okay, continue using child restraint without adjustment. If harness height requires adjustment, refer to Adjusting Harness Height on page 31.
IMPORTANT: Once the top slots become necessary, the child may continue to use the restraint until the top of the ears become level with the top of the restraint shell or child’s weight exceeds 65 pounds (29.5 kg).
