Britax Safe N Sound Compaq MKII Instructions For Installation & Use page 14

INTRODUCTION
These instructions cover various configurations of this model. To determine if the feature is available on
your child restraint refer to packaging. ISOFIX compatible connection is not available on all models.
No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash. However, to ensure
that your child gets all the protection designed into the restraint PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY and use only Britax Safe-n-Sound recommended parts and accessories.
A child should not use this restraint in the forward facing mode until their neck muscles are able to support
their head. However Britax recommends that you keep your child in a rearward facing restraint for as long
as possible or until the appropriate shoulder height marker is reached.
Carefully read all the instructions for installation in this book. If in doubt about the method of installation,
consult Britax Childcare or agent, or a child restraint fitter or, in New Zealand, to consult the agent for the
vehicle.
To be used with a lap-sash or lap only seatbelt or ISOFIX low anchorages (if fitted) in the back of most cars
with forward facing seats.
Regional Road Rules may prohibit the use of this restraint in the front seat of the car until the child is 4
years of age. Check your Regional Rules for exemptions.
Note: These instructions show the adjustable headrest with side wings, these instructions are also
applicable to restraints with adjustable headrests without side wings.
Always store the instruction book in the pocket provided and tuck pocket under trim cover.
WHAT ARE ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN A VEHICLE?
If you purchased a model which is ISOFIX Compatible there will be straps fitted to each side of the lower
part of the seat and stored at the upper side of the seat. Refer to page 24.
ISOFIX low anchorages are fixed, standardised anchoring points for securely installing an ISOFIX
compatible child restraint in a vehicle with ISOFIX low anchorages. They are an alternative method of
installing the child restraint without using car's seatbelt.
It has now become an international standard for vehicles. This anchoring technology minimises installation
mistakes by optimising the protective effect of the connection between vehicle and ISOFIX compatible child
restraint.
