To adjust the shoulder straps for forward-facing in the Graco Contender Slim:

1. Locate the Headrest Handle – There is one set of harness slots that can be raised or lowered. Grasp the handle at the top of the headrest.
2. Adjust the Height – Move the headrest to one of the eight positions as needed.
3. Lock the Headrest – Ensure the headrest is locked into place after adjusting.
4. Check Harness Covers – If the child weighs 25 lbs. or less, harness covers must be used.

Make sure the harness straps are positioned at or just above the child's shoulders for forward-facing use.
