straps to be even with or just below your
child’s shoulders.
(Fig. 30-1) The harness
straps are adjusted as follows:
1. Remove the Safety Seat from the Base and
rotate the Carry Handle to the back position.
Place your child in the Safety Seat such that
your child’s bottom is all the way to the rear
and bottom of the seat.
2. Determine which pair of slots will position the
harness straps even with or just below your
child’s shoulders.
DO NOT
use harness
slots that will position the harness straps
above your child’s shoulders as the harness
straps in this position will not restrain a small
child in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
3. If the Harness Straps require adjustment,
remove your child from the Safety Seat.
Rotate the handle to the upright carry
position.
4. Loosen the harness straps by depressing
the Harness Adjuster Button located below
the flap just ahead of the Harness Buckle
and pulling on the harness straps.
5. Turn the seat over. Locate the Belt Adjuster
Plate near the bottom of the seat. (Fig. 30-2)

Proper height is even or
just below shoulder
Adjuster Plate. From the front of the seat,
pull the Harness Straps through the shoulder
area slots and seat pad.
6. Using the included Belt Threading Tool,
insert the Harness Straps through the Slots
selected in step 2 above, in the seat pad and
the seat shell, respectively. (Fig. 31-1)
7. From the rear of the Safety Seat, pull the
Harness Straps through the Slots until you
have enough strap to reach the Belt
Adjuster Plate.
8. Reassemble the Harness Straps to the Belt
Adjuster Plate. Do the left Harness Strap
first, followed by the right Harness Strap.
Check that Harness Straps are completely
within the Belt Adjuster Plate loop (Fig. 31-2).
You have two adjustment positions on the
harness. Use Position A for a smaller child,
and Position B for a larger child. If using
Position A, loop B must be on top of the Belt
Adjuster Plate. (Fig. 31-3)
9. Inspect the Harness Straps from the front
and rear to ensure that they are not twisted.
Twisted straps can prevent proper tightening
of the Harness and thus may not adequately
restrain your child in a sharp turn, sudden
stop or crash.
