Britax safe-n-sound maxi lite Instructions For Installation & Use page 6

INTRODUCTION
The Maxi Lite™ is suitable for toddlers and older children as a convertible booster seat. This child restraint
is fitted with our exclusive VERSATETHER™ Catch that allows it to use the Safe-n-Sound™ Protecta
PLUS™ child harness in booster seat mode for older children.
To be used in forward-facing position with in-built harness by children whose shoulders are above the lower
shoulder height marker (approximately 6 months of age) until their shoulders reach the middle shoulder
height marker (approximately 4 years of age). Then to be used with either a lap-sash seatbelt or an add-on
accessory child harness until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 6 to 8
years of age).
Continue to use this child restraint until the child reaches this limit. Children are safest in a booster seat
until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the booster seat.
Do not use this restraint until child's shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.
Just using a seatbelt is not recommended for children that have outgrown this seat. Use a larger booster.
Regional Road Rules may prohibit the use of a restraint in the front seat until the child is 4 years of age.
Check your Regional Rules for exemptions.
