two pieces of the buckle together - they connect like parts in a puzzle - and insert them together into the buckle. You should hear a click to indicate that the buckle is securely fastened.

8Gently pull up on the harness straps to tighten the lap section of the harness, which should fit low down on your child's body.

9Slowly pull the Adjuster Strap located on the front of the seat, between the child's legs. This will tighten the harness around the child, making sure that the har- ness is a comfortable but SNUG fit around the child. A snug fit allows you to place two fingers between your child's body and the harness. Make sure that the Chest Clip is open before firmly adjusting the straps.

10Finally, fasten the Chest Clip. Connect the two halves of the chest clip together. Double Check: The correct height for the chest clip is at the middle of the chest, level to the child's armpit.
