6.1 Positioning Harness Straps

FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE HARNESS STRAPS

 

FOR YOUR CHILD INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS

 

INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A SHARP TURN,

 

SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. The harness straps must be properly

adjusted to fit your child according to the following instructions.

 

1. Remove infant restraint from base and rotate handle down to

 

sitting position. See “3.3 Removing and Attaching Base” and

 

“3.4 Adjusting Handle”, p. 13.

 

2. Place child in infant restraint as shown .

 

3. Determine which pair of harness slots are even

 

with or just below your child’s shoulders .

 

DO NOT use upper harness slots if they

 

are above your child’s shoulders. They

 

will not hold a small child securely in a

 

sudden stop or crash.

 

 

4. If the harness straps must be adjusted:

 

 

remove child from infant restraint and follow

 

 

directions for your type of harness system:

Use harness slots
