SAFETY HARNESS
Your High Chair is tted with a 5 point safety harness
system. Your child MUST always be harnessed
while in the high chair.
FIGURE E: USING YOUR HARNESS
TO SECURE YOUR CHILD IN THE HARNESS:
8. Insert Buckles (a) and (b) into either side of the
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.
TO OPEN THE HARNESS:
10. Release the Buckle Prongs – Squeeze on the top
and bottom prongs simultaneously and pull apart
from the Buckle Housing.
THIS PROCESS MAY BE DIFFICULT AS YOUR BUCkLE SYSTEM
