Using the Restraint
8Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten the harness around the child (Fig. F).
•Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint 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.
9 Position the chest clip at the center of the D child's chest, level with the child's armpits.
10 Verify that harness is not twisted and child is properly secured.
11 Make sure that harness height is correct. Refer to Checking Harness Height on page 14 for instructions.
IMPORTANT:
•Always pull on the harness after
securing the child to make sure the E buckle and harness are locked. If not, the buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food, drink, or objects that need to be removed. See pages 31 and 33 for cleaning instructions.
•Always make sure that the harness is tight before each use, or after any adjustments.
