Securing Your Child

Harness Mode

WARNING!
• Never route the vehicle belt over the child when using this
child seat in harness mode.
• Adjust the belts provided with this child seat 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.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing.
Remove bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the
child in the child seat.
• Verify that the child seat is secure and the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child
seat is used.
Loosen the harness.
