To insure safe operation of your doll booster, please follow these instructions
carefully.
Unpacking the Product
• Carefully remove doll booster from the box and plastic bag.

• Determine which pair of shoulder harness slots is even with or just above the

buckle. REMEMBER THE CORRECT ROUTING OF THE STRAPS.

desired slots, making sure they are not twisted.
• Rethread the straps through the buckle.
• Check that straps are secure by pulling on harness straps from the front.

Figure 1.
