Husky Baby Carrier manual Securing Your Child, Harness around the child Fig. D

Securing Your Child

Once the child restraint has been installed in the vehicle, follow these instructions to secure your child in the child restraint.

IMPORTANT: Before securing your child in the restraint, always check the adjuster area for debris (e.g. food, coins, toys, etc.). If debris is present, it must be removed to prevent interference with the adjuster mechanism.

1 Loosen the harness by lifting the adjuster lever located in front of the restraint, then pull the shoulder straps forward (Fig. A).

2Unfasten the chest clip by squeezing the middle tab (Fig. B).

3Unfasten the buckle by pressing down on the middle button.

4Move harness straps to the side of the restraint. To aid in holding the straps, insert the pieces of the chest clip into elastic loops on the cover.

5Place child in the restraint.

Securing Your Child

6 Position the harness straps around the
child and fasten the child restraint buckle
(Fig. C). Proper connection is confirmed
with a positive click after inserting the
second buckle tongue.
7 Gently pull up on the harness straps to
tighten the lap section of the harness,
which should fit low on your child's body.

8 Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten
the harness around the child (Fig. D).
• Harness should have a comfortable, but
SNUG, fit around the child. A snug fit
allows you to place no more than two
fingers between your child's collarbone and
the harness.
9 Fasten the chest clip by connecting the
two halves together (Fig. E).
• The correct height for the chest clip is at the
middle of the chest, level with the child's	E
armpit (Fig. F).
• The HUGS pads may be placed in any
position that is comfortable for the child,
within the range of the correctly placed
chest clip.
10 Verify that harness is not twisted and
child is properly secured.
