Graco 8480 Car Seat User Manual


 
9. Inspect the harness straps from the front
and back of the car seat to be sure the straps
are inserted at the same level and that they are
not twisted. Twisted belts can create slack in
the harness straps and reduce the protection
provided by the car seat.
10. Pull on the harness straps from the front of
the car seat to be sure the straps are secure.
11. Check the crotch
strap. There are two
possible positions for
it. Choose the position
that is closest to but
not under your child.
If you need to move
the strap, reach under the seat and push the
metal retainer up through the slot sideways
.
Push it back down through the appropriate slot
(making sure the red button faces out) and tug
on it to be sure that it is properly secured.
The components of your harness are now properly
positioned for your child. You will fine-tune the
fit each time you place your child in the car seat
by using the adjustment strap.
Remember to check the shoulder and crotch straps
as your child grows and move them to the next
position when necessary.
