3. Lay the child back into the harness,
matching their pelvis, chest and
underarms to the vest.
4. Make the harness snug around the child’s pelvis. As a general guide, keep the
bottom edge of the vest harness just above the top of the child’s legs. The lower
strap should lie below the front pelvic bones.
5. Once the pelvis is lined up, place the
child’s arms into the harness.
6. Close the padding over the shoulder
using the press-studs and fasten the
buckles.
Do not pull the harness up off the pelvis when fastening the shoulders. Fasten the central Velcro strip so
that it fits securely around the child. Secure with buckles. Tighten the straps as required, paying particular
attention to the lower one. Pass the leg straps between the child’s legs and into the buckles at the front.
Ensure the inner-leg padding is innermost against the child’s leg/groin area. Tighten the straps enough to
prevent the vest raising when the child stands up.
The lower strap on the harness is the
most important to position correctly.
