Once the child restraint has been
installed in the vehicle, follow these
instructions to secure the child.
Loosen the harness by lifting the
adjuster lever located on the front of the
restraint, then pull the shoulder straps
forward (Fig. A).
Unfasten the chest clip by
squeezing
the middle tab
(Fig. B).
Unfasten the buckle by pressing down on
the release button.
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.
Place child in the restraint.
Position the harness straps around the
child and fasten the child restraint buck-
le (Fig C) and chest clip (Fig. D).
•
Proper connection of the buckle is confirmed
with a positive click after inserting the
second buckle tongue.
Gently pull up on the harness straps to
tighten the lap section of the harness,
which should fit low on the child's
body.

Slowly pull the adjuster strap to tighten
the harness around the child (Fig. E).
IMPORTANT:
Adjust the belts provided
with this child restraint so they fit snugly
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.
Position the chest clip at the middle of
the child's chest, level with the child's
armpits
(Fig. F)
.
Verify that harness is not twisted and
child is properly secured.
See "Checking Harness Height" on
page 30.
IMPORTANT:
•
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.
•
Always make sure that the harness is tight
before each use, or after any adjustments.
