5.1 Placing Your Child in the Chair

1. Ensure the chair is stable and on a flat surface.

3. Gently place your child into the seat, ensuring their legs are positioned correctly around the crotch bar.
4. Fasten the 5-point adjustable harness. Adjust the straps to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. The harness should be tight enough so that only one finger can fit between the strap and your child's body.
