Secure this child seat even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an
unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.
•
When using in a vehicle with air bags, refer to your vehicle owner's
manual for child seat installation instructions and precautions.
•
Never use the harness or harness adjuster straps to lift or carry this child
seat. Doing so could cause damage to harness adjuster and webbing.
Always carry this child seat by its shell or tether strap.

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.
•
Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LUAS
anchors. Use vehicle belt (not LCS connectors) for installations
with children who weigh more than the vehicle LUAS anchor limit.
Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a
18.1 kg (40 lb) child is the vehicle LUAS anchor limit.
•
The use of non-Britax Child Safety, Inc., covers, inserts, toys,
accessories, or tightening devices is not approved by Britax.
Their use could cause this child seat not perform as intended in
