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 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.
CHANGING HARNESS POSITION
1. Loosen the harness straps. Push down on the
harness adjuster while pulling out on the harness
straps at the chest clip. Unbuckle the chest clip.
Detach the buckle tongues from the 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 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 22–30 lb (10–13.6 kg)
MUST
use the
middle buckle slot only. Children above 30 lb (13.6 kg)
MUST
use the forward most buckle slot only.
4. To adjust buckle strap — Remove all lower seat cover
clips from the seat shell. 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.
