6.1 Securing your Child in the Safety Seat / Carrier
In a crash, the safety seat provides no protection for your child
unless the Harness Straps are properly installed according
to these instructions. Make sure that the harness straps are
properly adjusted and secured whenever using the Safety Seat,
even when using as a carrier.
Please follow these instructions carefully to properly secure your
child.
1. Check that the Harness Straps are installed in the proper slots
or adjusted to the proper height as described in section 5.9,
Adjustment of the Shoulder Straps, preceding.
2.
The clothing you dress your child in will
affect the proper use of the Safety Seat.
Please dress your child in clothing that will:
• Allow the Harness Straps to securely
latch between your child’s legs.
• Keep the shoulder straps properly
located on your child’s shoulders.
3. Place the Safety Seat on a rm and
level surface. Move the carry handle
to the non rocking position. Loosen
the Harness Straps by pulling on the
straps while pushing on the Harness
Adjuster Button located below the pad
just in front of the buckle. Unfasten
the Harness Chest Clip. Unbuckle the
Harness Straps and drape the Harness
Straps over the Seat back or to the
sides of the Safety Seat (Fig. 36-1).
4. Place your child in the Safety Seat so
that the child’s bottom is against the
back and bottom of the seat (Fig. 36-2).
5. Pull the harness straps down over your
child. Check that the harness straps are
not twisted.
