CHANGING HARNESS POSITION
1. Loosen the harness straps. Lift up on the harness
release lever while pulling out on the harness
straps at the chest clip. Unbuckle the chest clip.
Detach the buckle tongues from the centre buckle.
2. Detach harness straps from metal plate on back
of seat. Pull each harness through to the front of
the seat. Re-locate each harness to the correct slot
determined, push through to the back of the seat
taking care to keep each harness strap flat. Re-
secure the harness straps to the metal plate. Check
to ensure harness loops are properly secured to
the metal plate.
3. Check the centre buckle position. When rear-
facing, the correct slot is the one that is closest to
your child without being underneath your child.
When forward-facing, children 10–13.6 kg (22–30
lb) MUST use the middle buckle slot only. Children
above 13.6 kg (30 lb) MUST use the forward most
buckle slot only.
4. To adjust centre buckle strap, remove all lower
seat cover clips. Reach into the rear-facing belt
path. You will feel the buckle strap metal retainer.

5. Rotate metal retainer and insert it up through the
shell and pad. From the top of the car seat, pull
the buckle strap out.
6. Insert metal retainer in the new buckle slot
position. Reach underneath the car seat and pull
the metal retainer through.
SECURING YOUR CHILD
1. Pull up on centre buckle strap to make sure it is
secured.
2. Pull all the slack out from around the waist. Pull
up on the harness strap while pushing the chest
clip down. Do this to both sides.
3. Tighten the harness by pulling the harness
adjustment strap. When you are not able to
pinch any of the harness webbing at your child's
shoulder, the harness is tight enough. A snug
harness 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.
4. Buckle the chest clip. You will hear a "click" when
the chest clip is securely buckled.
5. Place the chest clip at armpit level.
