6. Check Harness Tightness
Try to pinch the harness at the shoulders
vertically between index finger and thumb
as shown.
If your fingers slip off, the harness is
tight enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap, tighten more.The harness
strap should be snug throughout their length.
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.
5. Position Chest Clip
The chest clip must be placed at
mid-chest (even with armpits) and
away from the child’s neck.
WARNINGS: Failure to fasten and tighten the harness
system correctly may allow the child to be ejected from the
child restraint in a crash or sudden stop causing serious
injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety.
Harness system must be snugly
adjusted.
DO NOT put snowsuits or bulky
garments on your child when placing
them in the child restraint.
Bulky clothing can prevent the har-
ness straps from being tightened
properly.
