More Support Options
Head and Upper Body
If you feel your child needs further head or upper body
support, you may use tightly rolled blankets positioned
along your child's sides for added support.
Only add blankets after child is secured in the seat,
making sure that nothing interferes with the Harness.
DO NOT loop the rolled blanket over the child's head.
The loop may slip behind the child's head and force
it forward, disrupting proper breathing or putting the
head and neck in an awkward position that will
increase the risk of DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY in a
crash.
Between the Legs
With smaller babies, there is often a gap between the
crotch and the crotch strap. If your child slides forward
in the crotch strap, resulting in a slouched posture, you
may use a rolled wash cloth for support. Position a tightly
rolled wash cloth between the legs and behind the
Harness Buckle and Pad to " ll in" the extra space.
Only add the rolled wash cloth after child is in the Infant
Carrier with their bottom in the seat, and their back fully
supported. Make sure legs are straddling the crotch strap.
NEVER place extra padding UNDER or BEHIND the
child. The Infant Insert is the only approved padding
to be used with the Aton.
