Slowly pull the adjuster strap until the harness is 8
snug around the child. The harness adjuster will
click when the harness is snug (Fig. D). See Click
& Safe™ Snug Harness Indicator below.
A snug strap 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.
You should not be able to pinch excess webbing at •
the shoulder once the harness is properly secured.
If there is still slack in the harness, review the 9
checklist and then pull the harness adjuster strap
again until another click indicates a snug harness.
Position the chest clip at the middle of the child’s 10
chest, level with the child’s armpits (Fig. E).
Verify that the harness is not twisted and the child 11
is properly secured.
IMPORTANT: Always pull on the harness after
securing the child to ensure the buckle tongues are secure in the harness
buckle.
