system. Your child MUST always be harnessed
while in the high chair.

Buckle Housing (c). Keep inserting until they click
into place securely.
9. Carefully adjust the harness straps to snugly t
your child by adjusting the Sliders located on all
Shoulder Straps, Waist Straps and Crotch Strap.
The harness should be snugly tted to the baby’s
body, tight enough so that the baby cannot wriggle
itself free of the straps but loose enough so as not
to cause the baby any discomfort.

and bottom prongs simultaneously and pull apart
from the Buckle Housing.
