Child Securing

WARNING: Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out. Always use the safety harness.

STRANGULATION HAZARD: Child can strangle in loose straps. Never leave child in seat when straps are loose or undone.

• The 5-point harness has 3 attachment positions for shoulder straps. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the top of the child's shoulder.
• To adjust harness height, unhook the shoulder strap from the crotch buckle. Feed the strap through the harness spread slots (accessible from the rear of the seat, underneath the fabric) and reattach to the crotch buckle. [Diagram showing harness adjustment]
• Carefully place the child in the stroller seat. Bring the safety harness around the child's waist and over the shoulders.
• Place the crotch strap between the child's legs.
• Insert the male end of each shoulder/waist belt into the buckle on the crotch strap.
• Tighten the harness to be snug around the child's waist and over the child's shoulders. [Diagram showing harness fastened]
