Properly Securing Child
(continued)
+ IMPORTANT:
Give a firm, upward tug on both harness straps
behind the childs shoulders and close to the
harness slots in the restraint, to confirm there is
no harness slack behind the restraint.
8. Confirm harness is not twisted and lays flat against
child.
9. Properly position harness clip so that it is level
with childs armpits.
10. Confirm harness height is correct (see below for
correct Harness Height).
11. Confirm harness buckle location is correct (see
page 35 for correct center buckle position).
Proper Harness Height & Child Height
WARNING:
ONLY use top three shoulder harness positions
for forward-facing child.
1. Confirm correct harness height:
Rear-facing (Fig. 1): Straps should be in nearest
slot at or below the level of childs shoulders.
Forward-facing (Fig. 2): Straps should be in
nearest slot at or above the level of childs
shoulders.
Note: when using uppermost harness position,
level of childs shoulders can be above harness
slot as long as child is proper height
(see page 34).
3. If harness height is not correct, you MUST adjust
it before using restraint with that child. (See page
34 for adjusting harness height)
