SECURING YOUR CHILD
1. Loosen harness straps. Push down on the harness
adjuster while pulling out on the harness straps
at the chest clip. Unbuckle the chest clip and the
center buckle. Place harness straps off to the sides.
2. Place your child in the seat. Make sure their back
is flat against the car seat back (this can be done
in or out of the car). Avoid bulky or heavy clothing
because they will prevent the harness straps from
being tightened properly.
NOTE:
Diono recommends harnessing your child
first and placing a blanket over them or putting
their jacket on backwards.
3. Be sure the harness straps are at the proper
height.
WARNING:
All harness slot positions can be used
rear-facing, however, only use the top three
shoulder harness positions for forward-facing.
