How to use the Evenflo LiteMax 35
Step-by-step guides from the maker's manual. Pick one.
Harness
- 1Place your baby in the carrier with bottom and back flat against the seat.
- 2Slide each harness strap over your baby's shoulders.
- 3Push the buckle tongues into the buckle, then pull up on the straps to check they are engaged.
- 4Line up the two sides of the chest clip, snap them together and set the clip at armpit level.
- 5Pull the harness adjuster strap on the front of the seat until the straps are snug with no slack.
- 6To take your baby out: press the red buckle release and remove the tongues, then press the chest clip button and pull it apart.
- A snug strap should not allow any slack; it lies straight without sagging and does not press on your baby's flesh.
- Keep the crotch strap as close as possible to, but never under, your baby's bottom.
