Once the child restraint has been
installed in the vehicle, follow these
instructions to secure the child.
1 Loosen the harness by lifting the
adjuster lever located in front of the
restraint, then pull the harness straps
forward (Fig. A).
2 Unfasten the chest clip by
squeezing
the middle tab
(Fig. B).
3 Unfasten the buckle by pressing down
on the release button.
4 Move the harness straps to the side of
the restraint.
•
Use the harness holder located on the
straps and side of the cover to aid in
holding the straps.
5 Place child in the restraint.
6 Position the harness straps around the
child and fasten the child restraint
buckle (Fig. C) and chest clip (Fig. D).
•
Proper connection of the buckle is
confirmed with a positive click after
inserting the second buckle tongue.
7 Gently pull up on the harness straps to
tighten the lap section of the harness,
which should fit low on the child's
body.
8 Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten
the harness around the child (Fig. E).
•
Snugly adjust the belts provided with
this child restraint around your child. 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.
9
Position the chest clip at the middle of
the child's chest, level with the child's
armpit
(Fig. F)
.

Make sure that harness is not twisted
and child is properly secured.
•
Make sure that harness height is correct.
Refer to page 14 for instructions.
•
Always pull on the harness after securing
the child to make sure the buckle and
harness are locked. If not, the buckle or
adjuster area may be clogged with food,
drink, or objects that need to be removed.
See pages 33 and 35 for cleaning
instructions.
•
Make sure that the harness is tight before
each use, or after any adjustments.
•
Do not remove HUGS™ pads for forward
facing use. Removal of HUGS is optional
for rear facing use only.
