Important checklist before tightening the harness:

Check for proper harness height (see pages

6 – 7).
Remove slack from around the child’s upper

thighs.
Remove slack between HUGS

chest pads

and buckle.

Slowly pull the adjuster strap until the harness

is snug around the child (Fig. D). The harness

adjust will click when the harness is snug.

NOTE:

The Click & Safe

Snug

Harness Indicator is and audible aide

to help determine when the harness is

within range of appropriate snugness.

When tightening the harness, this

audible click provides extra assurance

that the harness is snug.

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

checklist above 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

chest, level with the child’s armpits (Fig. E).
Verify that the harness is not twisted and the child is properly secured.

MPORTANT: Always pull on the harness after securing the child to

ensure the buckle tongues are secure in the harness buckle.

Buckling and Tightening the Harness

Loosen the harness by lifting the harness

adjuster release lever located on the front of the

child seat while pulling both shoulder straps

forward (Fig. A).
Release the chest clip by squeezing the tabs and

sliding the pieces apart (Fig. B).
Unfasten the harness buckle by pressing the

release button and sliding the tongues out.
Move the harness straps to the side of the child

seat.

Use the harness holders located on the straps

•

and both sides of the cover to aid in holding the

straps.

IMPORTANT: Remove bulky coats and/or jackets

before putting the child in child seat. Adjust the

harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing.

Place child in the child seat.

Position harness straps around the child and

fasten harness buckle (Fig. C) and chest clip.

Proper connection of the harness buckle is

•

confirmed with an audible click after inserting

each buckle tongue.
If the buckle will not fasten with an audible

•

click after insertion of each buckle tongue,

the harness buckle or adjuster area may be clogged with food,

drink or other debris that needs to be removed. See page 39 for

cleaning instructions.

Slide the HUGS

™ chest pads down towards the buckle.

Pull the harness adjuster away

from the child seat to tighten.

Do not pull sideways.
