Always check and be sure that the child seat is correctly adjusted before you start driving.
Do not adjust the child seat position while driving.- Try to pinch the harness with your fingers. If you can grasp any webbing, tighten the harness and test again.
- Please always use the included newborn pillow for babies below 60 cm (6 kg).

Simple, right? We certainly hope so.
