5.0 FEATURES

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)

Remove both Harness Straps from the Belt

Fig. 30-1

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.
