Harness Use | MyChart Bedside

Congratulations. Your car seat is now safely installed in your vehicle. But now, the next obstacle is getting your child in the car seat.

Buckle the harness, making sure the straps lie flat and snug. If the harness is loose, tighten it until you can't pinch any slack. Then move the chest clip to the armpit level.

Be sure to remove any blankets or coats and place them outside the harness, not underneath, as they could compress, causing the harness to come loose in a crash.

Do not attach any items to the harness that did not come with the car seat or that were not made by your car seat manufacturer. These items may not be tested and can interfere with proper harness use.

Well, it's time for another quiz. Which of these chest clips is correct? The chest clip should be placed at the armpit level. Do you notice anything wrong with this harness? Ah, it's loose, and it's twisted. Did you answer correctly? Way to go. Thanks for keeping us safe and sound and properly bundled up in our car seat every time we take a ride.
