L>HARNESS
Your stroller harness is specifically
designed with many built in safety features. This includes the requirement that, when
opened, all straps are released so that no dangerous loops can be formed causing a strangulation hazard.
WARNING: YOUR CHILD MUST ALWAYS BE HARNESSED WHEN IN
THE STROLLER Closing your harness: Slide each of the
shoulder strap bottom guides (a) into the corresponding channel on the top of each side strap prong. Insert each completed prong into the central buckle housing (b).
Carefully adjust the harness straps to snugly fit your child by adjusting the sliders (c) located on each strap. The harness should be fitted to your child’s body, tight enough so that they cannot wriggle free of the straps but, loose enough, so as not to cause any discomfort.
For even more flexibility, the height at which your shoulder straps are fitted to the stroller can be adjusted at 3 points(d).
To change the shoulder strap position: Open the harness. Rethread the shoulder
strap strap back through the desired loop on the front of the seat
Opening your harness: Press the central housing button (e). This will release both side prongs from the central housing. The shoulder and waist straps will release automatically from each other.
