Important Notes - Britax SKYLINE User Manual

Seating Positions on page 25 and consult your vehicle owner's manual.
• Always make sure the child restraint system is secured to the vehicle, even when unoccupied,
since in a crash an unsecured child restraint system may injure occupants. The unoccupied
child seat can be secured to the vehicle by attaching the lower connectors to the lower
anchors in the vehicle, or by fastening the vehicle seatbelt across the unoccupied child seat.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration, discontinue use of a booster seat that is older than ten
(10) years or has been in a severe crash (see page 6). See expiration date on Serial Number
and Manufactured Date Label located under the base cover.
• The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories, or tightening devices is not approved by
Britax. Their use could cause this booster seat not to perform as intended in a crash.
• 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.
