How to Secure Your Child

Securing the Child in the Child Restraint

  1. Loosen harness.
    Press the harness release button on the front of the seat, then pull up on the harness strap behind the fastened chest clip.
  2. Position harness straps.
    Unfasten chest clip and place the child in the child restraint. Bring each harness strap over each of the child’s shoulders.
    IMPORTANT: The baby’s back and bottom should be flat against the restraint. If there is a gap, the baby will not be comfortable.
  3. Adjust harness straps.
    Grasping both red harness tabs, slide downward until the harness straps are at the child’s shoulders.
  4. Buckle the harness.
    Insert both buckle tongues into the buckle. 

    securing_the_child_in_the_child_restraint_evenflo_momentum_65_car_booster_seat.png

    Note: Pull up on the harness straps to ensure that the buckle tongues are fastened securely.

  5. Remove all slack in harness.
    Pull upward on the harness straps near the hips, as shown, to  ensure that all slack is removed.
  6. Tighten harness.
    Pull the harness adjuster strap to tighten the harness. The harness straps must be snug against 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.
    Check the harness straps near the shoulders for slack. You should NOT be able to pinch the harness (see illustration). Adjust as needed.
  7. Fasten and adjust chest clip.
    Snap the two halves of the chest clip together, as shown, and slide to armpit level.
