DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:
• Harness mode: use only with children who weigh between 25
and 90 lbs (11.3 and 40.8 kg) and whose height is between 30
and 58 in. (76.2 and 147.3 cm) and are at least 2 years of age.
• Booster mode: use only with children who weigh between 40
and 120 lbs (18.1 and 54.4 kg) and whose height is between 45
and 62 in. (114.3 and 157.5 cm).
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around
your child.
• Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child seat.
• Use only the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt system when
restraining the child in this booster seat.
• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle's child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
• Do not use the lower anchors of the child restraint anchorage
system (LATCH system) to attach this child restraint when
restraining a child weighing more than 40 lbs (18.1 kg) with the
internal harnesses of the child restraint.
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions located in the pocket behind the cover of the child seat.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
• The top tether MUST be used in harness mode for children that
weigh more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Britax recommends that the
top tether be used at all times when installing the child seat.
Using the top tether will improve the stability of your child seat
and reduce the risk of injury.
• Use this child seat forward-facing only.
• This child seat cannot be in the recline position when used in
booster mode.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
• This child seat must not be used in the home, in boats, or other
non-certified applications.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of this child seat when it is older than nine years
or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See Serial Number
and Manufactured Date Label located on the child seat shell.
See page 21.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is
the body of the vehicle itself. A child seat may not protect a child
when the vehicle is seriously im pact ed. However when correctly
installed, a child seat will substantially improve the chances for
survival in most crashes.
• Secure this child seat even when it is not occupied. In a crash,
an unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.
• 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.
• 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 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or not perform as intended in a crash.
• Always check the back seat upon leaving your vehicle to prevent
leaving a child restrained in a child seat alone in the vehicle.

Important Notes

• Verify that the child seat is securely installed and the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used.
• 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:
* The vehicle is driveable from the crash site; and
* The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not damaged; and
* No vehicle occupants were injured; and
* There is no visible damage to the child seat; and
* The airbags (if present) did not deploy.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove
bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child in child seat.
• 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 leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
• 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.
• Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of
a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unsecured or unlatched. In the
event of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child seat
not to perform as intended.
• Do not allow children to play with this child seat.
