Harness Height Adjustment
1 Loosen the harness by lifting the harness
adjuster lever while pulling the shoulder
straps forward as far as possible (
Fig. A
).
2 From the rear of the child restraint,
unhook the shoulder harness from the
yoke (
Fig. B
).
3 Pull straps through the shell and cover, to
the front of the restraint.
NOTE:
Do not remove HUGS pads for
forward facing use. Removal of HUGS is
optional for rear facing use only.
4
Thread the harness straps through the
appropriate harness height slots (
Fig. C
).
5 Reattach harness straps to the yoke
(
Fig. B
).
6 Pull harness adjuster strap to tighten the
harness.
7 Verify that all straps are threaded at the
same height and are not twisted.
To Check Harness Height:
1 Place child in restraint, then secure
harness (
see pages
28–29
).
2 Observe where the shoulder harness is
positioned on the child.
•
Rear Facing Strap Height: Harness
straps should be located in the nearest
slot at or below the child’s shoulder.
•
Forward Facing Strap Height: Harness
straps should be located in the nearest
slot at or above the child’s shoulder.
3 If harness height is okay, continue using
child restraint without adjustment. If
harness height requires adjustment, refer to
Adjusting Harness Height
on page 31.
IMPORTANT:
Once the top slots become
necessary, the child may continue to use
the restraint until the top of the ears
become level with the top of the restraint
shell or child’s weight exceeds 65 pounds
(29.5 kg).
