Child Seat Functions

5￿ Move the harness straps to the side of the child
	seat. Use the harness holder located on the
	straps and side of the cover to aid in holding
	the straps.
6￿	Place child in the child seat.
7￿ Position the harness straps around the child		E
	and fasten the harness buckle (Fig. E) and chest
	clip (Fig. F).
8￿ Proper connection of the harness buckle is
	confirmed with a positive click after inserting
	each buckle tongue.
9￿	Gently pull up on the harness straps to tighten
	the lap section of the harness, which should fit	F
	low on the child’s body.
10￿Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten the
	harness around the child (Fig. G).
11￿Position the chest clip at the middle of the
	child’s chest, level with the armpits (Fig. H).
12￿Verify that harness is not twisted and child is
	properly secured.	G
IMPORTANT:
•	Always pull on the harness after securing the child to
	ensure the buckle tongues are secure in the harness
	buckle. If the buckle will not fasten with a positive
	click after insertion of each buckle tongue, the harness
	buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food, drink
	or other debris that need to be removed. See page 37
	for cleaning instructions.
• Adjust the belts provided with this child seat so they fit		H
	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.
