Securing Your Child in the Infant Carrier
WARNING!
•
Adjust harness to fit clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky
coats and/or jackets before putting child in infant carrier.
•
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.
•
Verify that the infant carrier is secure and that the harness is
properly adjusted around the child EACH time the infant carrier
is used. Failure to properly adjust the harness could result in
death or serious injury.
Adjusting the Harness
The harness should be properly adjusted to fit your child prior to
installing the infant carrier in your vehicle. Follow the steps below to
prepare the infant carrier harness for use with your child.
1
Unbuckle the harness by
pressing the red release
button and pulling the buckle
tongues from the buckle.
