This video includes a demonstration of how to apply the seated immobilization device (KED) for EMT testing.
The KED Manufacturer has recommendations for the strap order and variances for pregnant patients, a patient with an angulated neck, pediatric patients, adapting the KED for use with a cardiac monitor, and splinting with a pelvic or femur fracture. Each region may have variances in strap order. As with any immobilization device, the head must be secured last.

Some schools teach this order by remembering the phrase "My Baby Looks Hot Tonight," where the beginning of each word stands for Middle torso strap, Bottom torso strap, Leg straps, Head strap, and Top torso strap. The Top torso strap is a cinching strap that goes over the chest, making the patient feel like their breathing is restricted. This is one of the reasons why the manufacturer recommends the Top torso strap be applied after the head straps.
