Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around
your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a

child's flesh or push the child's body into an unnatural position.

Secure this child restraint with the vehicle's child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
•
Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions located under the child seat cover.
•
Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
•
To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of a child seat that is older than six years or has
been in a moderate or severe crash. See date of manufacture
located on child seat (see page 8).

Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the back
seat as the safest location for a properly installed child seat. Please
study the Vehicle Compatibility (pages 10-15) section in this booklet
to ensure your child's safety and consult your vehicle owner's
manual.
•
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 adjuster strap 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 straps.
•
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.
•
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 to fail Federal Safety Standards or
not perform as intended in a crash.
