written instructions.

maximum weight or height allowed.

of vehicles: multi-purpose passenger vehicles, passenger

GROW WITH YOU CLICKTIGHT / PLUS User Guide
• Always make sure the child restraint system is secured to
the vehicle, even when unoccupied, since in a crash an
unsecured child restraint system may injure occupants.
The unoccupied child seat can be secured to the vehicle
by attaching the lower connectors to the lower anchors in
the vehicle, or by fastening the vehicle seatbelt across the
unoccupied child seat.
• The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories,
or tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their use
could cause this child seat to fail Canada Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or not perform as intended in a crash.
• 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.
• Grow With You ClickTight Plus - Prevent the Side Impact
Cushions from being punctured. Puncture damage will
cause the cushions not to perform as intended in a crash.
Important Notes
• Before each use, check this child seat and its
components to make sure they are in good condition
and good working order.
• Do not install with LUAS for a child weighing more than
18 kg (40 lbs) in harness mode.
• 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 US 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.
• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Metal parts of child seat could become hot
enough to burn a child.
• Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being
used. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to
disassemble any part of the child seat or change the
way the harness or vehicle's seat belts are used.
• Never use the harness or adjuster strap to lift or carry
this child seat. Doing so could damage the harness
adjuster and webbing. Always carry this child seat by
the shell or tether straps.
• Third party recommendations are subject to change, so
we recommend you visit their websites for the most up
to date recommendations.
