Checking Harness Height:

1Place child in restraint, then secure
harness (
see pages

).
2Observe where the shoulder harness is
positioned on your child.
•
Harness straps should be located in
the nearest slot at or above the child’s
shoulder.
3If harness height is okay, continue using
child restraint without adjustment. If
harness height requires adjustment, refer
to
Harness Height Adjustment
below.
NOTE:
Once the top slots become
necessary, your child may continue to use
the restraint until the top of the ears become
level with the top of the restraint shell, or the
child’s weight exceeds 80 pounds (36 kg).

Harness Height Adjustment
