harnessed while in the stroller.

to form one complete buckle.
2. Insert the completed buckle into the Buckle Housing
(14) until it engages securely in place.
3. Carefully adjust the harness straps to snugly t your
child by adjusting the Sliders located on all Shoulder
Straps, Waist Straps and the 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 YOUR HARNESS:
1. Push down on the Buckle Prongs (15, 16).
2. Simultaneously press the release button in the centre
of the buckle (17).
3. Pull the buckles from the Buckle Housing.
Your harness system has been designed to meet very
stringent safety standards and incorporates our unique
secondary action. This helps ensure that your child
cannot release the harness unaided.
