Important Notes - Britax B-SAFE GEN2 User Manual

BRITAX Child Safety, Inc.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a
collision is the body of the vehicle itself; a child seat
will not protect a child when a vehicle is seriously
impacted. However, correctly installed, a child seat
will substantially improve chances for survival in most
crashes. Make sure all users fully understand the
correct ways to use this child seat in a vehicle.

Important Notes

• Discontinue use of this child seat if it has been in a
moderate or severe crash. It is not necessary to replace a
car seat after a minor crash defined by the U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as:
a. The vehicle is driveable from the crash site; and
b. The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not
damaged; and
c. No vehicle occupants were injured; and
d. There is no visible damage to the child seat; and
e. The airbags (if present) did not deploy.
• Verify that the child restraint and child restraint belts or
straps do not interfere with the opening and closing of the
vehicle door.
• Consult vehicle user guide to ensure child restraint
installation does not interfere with function of vehicle
seats.
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with the child restraint
around your child. A snug strap should not allow any
slack. You should not be able to pinch excess.
• Ensure the lower harness (waist) straps are firmly adjusted
in a position so that the child's pelvic area is secure.
