ABSTRACT:
A harness clip, for use on a child restraint system, which is easily slidable along the harness straps to facilitate positioning of the harness over a child's head, but which can be effectively secured into place relative to the straps when properly positioned near the child's chest. The clip generally comprises a base member for maintaining the two shoulder straps in lateral positioning relative to each other. In addition, the base member is movable relative to at least one of the shoulder straps. The clip further includes a securing device for releasably securing the base member to at least one of the two shoulder straps, to thereby inhibit relative sliding movement between the base member and at least one of the two straps. A method for securing a child in a child restraint system is also disclosed. The method generally comprises the steps of placing the child into the child restraint system, positioning the shoulder straps onto the child with the clip in a first position, moving the clip from the first position to a second position, and securing the clip to at least one of the shoulder straps to thereby substantially prevent relative movement between the clip and the shoulder strap.
