-Check that harness straps are snug on shoulder and thighs. Straps should not allow a finger to pass between the belt and the child’s shoulder.
-A snug harness 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.
NOTE: If harness can not be snugly adjusted as described above, do not use this car seat.
