Child Seat Functions

Adjusting Harness and Head Restraint Height

IMPORTANT: Make all adjustments for the fit of your
child before using the child seat� Place the child seat on
the floor and have your child sit in the seat� Follow the
instructions on the following pages to make the proper
adjustments to the harness, buckle, and head restraint�
1� Loosen the harness if
necessary�
a� Press the release lever�
b� Pull both harness
straps forward�
2� Lift and slide the harness
height adjuster into the
desired position�
NOTE: Ensure the head
restraint has locked into
position.
IMPORTANT:
In harness mode, the harness
height adjuster also adjusts the
height for the head restraint�
Always adjust the harness
straps to the closest position
at or above your child's
shoulders�
In booster mode the vehicle
belt must be in the closest
position at or above the
child's shoulder through the
shoulder belt guide�

WARNING!
In some cases, the vehicle head
restraint can prevent the child seat
head restraint from being raised high
enough to properly adjust the harness
for the fit of your child� DO NOT force
the child seat head restraint past the
vehicle head restraint� Doing so could
cause the child seat not to perform
as intended� If the location of the vehicle head restraint
interferes with the child seat head restraint, raise or remove
the vehicle head restraint� If the vehicle head restraint
cannot be removed, move the child seat to the upright
position or try a different seating location�

Overhang

Harness Mode
It is important that the base of the child
seat rests completely flat on the vehicle
seat with no side overhang� As seen
in the illustration, it is permissible to
allow up to 3 in� (7�6 cm) of the base to
hang over the front edge of the vehicle
seat� If the vehicle seat does not allow
enough of the child seat base to make
contact, adjust the recline angle to
a more upright position� Not doing
so could cause the child seat to not
perform as intended�
Booster Mode
Overhang is not allowed in booster mode� In booster mode,
the base of the child seat must fit completely on the vehicle
seat�
