harness. Push button at lower front of seat and pull on
shoulder straps to loosen. The lap straps are threaded
through slots near child's hips to the outside/underside of

shows routing for small child (approx. 4-6 lbs.), diagram

diagram 3 shows routing for an even larger child
(approx. 20-35 lbs.).
Harness slots: There are four sets of slots. To
change shoulder strap slot height, remove straps from
splitter plate on back and rethread through desired slots.
Reattach straps to splitter plate. To shorten straps for

For larger infants use bottom loops (diagram 5).
Buckle strap: There are three sets of slots in the shell
and two sets of slots in padding. When using either of the innermost
slots in shell, route buckle strap through innermost slot in padding.
When using outermost slot in shell, route buckle strap through
outermost slot in padding. Buckle strap is attached to a metal buckle
under seat. To change position, feed metal anchor up through slot to
top of seat and rethread through desired slot. Buckle strap should be
close to, but not underneath, child. For infants up to 8 lbs. buckle
