If in doubt about installing your child seat using the vehicle safety belts, consult your motor vehicle handbook or your Britax retailer. • The primary protection for occupants of a motor vehicle in a collision is the body of the vehicle itself, and a child restraint will not protect a child when the vehicle body is seriously impacted.
Checking Harness Height The shoulder harness MUST be threaded through the slots in the cover and shell nearest the top of your child’s shoulders. If in any doubt always use the slot above the shoulder rather than below it. Once the top slots become necessary, your child may continue to use the seat until the center of the ears become level with the top of the seat shell or weight exceeds 40 lbs.
