Snug Harness Indicator
IMPORTANT:
See pages 32 – 33 for detailed instructions
on securing your child.
The Click & Safe
®
is an audible indicator to help determine when the
child seat harness is within range of appropriate snugness. The Click &
Safe is a secondary feature. Parents should be aware of what amount
of snugness is appropriate in the harness. The harness should have
a comfortable but snug fit around the child. A snug strap should not
allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It
does not press on the child's flesh or push the child's body into an
unnatural position. You should not be able to pinch excess webbing.
The Click & Safe is designed to sense tension when the adjuster strap
is pulled. Ensure all slack has been removed from the child's hips and
that the harness straps are correctly positioned at the child's shoulders
so the Click & Safe will provide the most accurate reading. Follow the
steps below to tighten the harness.
To tighten the harness:
Remove any bulky clothing from
1
your child before tightening the
harness.
Check for proper harness height.
2
Remove slack in the harness from
3
around child's upper thighs.
Remove slack in the harness
4
between the HUGS™ chest pads
and buckle.
Pull the harness adjuster strap up and away from the child seat until
5
a click is heard. The Click & Safe
harness is within range of appropriate snugness.
NOTE: If there is still slack in the harness, repeat steps 1–4 then pull
the adjuster strap up and away from the child seat again until another
click indicates a snug harness. It may be necessary to double check
to confirm that the harness is within range of appropriate snugness.
Always confirm a snug fit by attempting to pinch excess webbing.
Checklist
9 Check that the harness is buckled and secure.
9 Check that the harness is snug and you can not pinch excess.
HUGS™ Energy-Absorbing Stitching
The HUGS strap can indicate when
the child seat has been in a moderate
or severe crash (see page 3) and
replacement of the child seat is
necessary.
If one or both of the energy-absorbing
stitches on the HUGS strap are ripped,
the seat is no longer acceptable for
use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of child
seat if it has been involved in a moderate or severe crash, regardless of
whether the stitching is ripped or not.

Adjusting the Buckle Position
IMPORTANT:
• ALWAYS position the buckle in the
inner slot for rear-facing use when
using a vehicle seat belt installation.
• The vehicle belt must pass in front of
the buckle strap for rear-facing use.
• Position the buckle in the slot closest
to but not under the child for rear-facing use when using the
LATCH installation.
• NEVER leave the buckle in the adjustment slot.
• Use the outer buckle slot when installing the child seat forward-
facing with a child weighing 30 lbs (13.6 kg) and above or if the
buckle is under the child in the inner position.
