Safety Information

IMPORTANT NOTES
Your infant carrier has been assembled for children weighing less
than 11 lbs. If/When your child weighs 11 lbs. or more, re-route the
buckle strap position as indicated on pages 10-11 and on the label
affixed to the restraint shell.
Adjust harness to fit clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky
coats and/or jackets before putting child in restraint.
Because of the side impact crash protection it provides, Britax
strongly recommends the infant carrier be used with the head pad.
Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is properly
adjusted around the child each time the child restraint is used.
Cover the restraint when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts
of the child restraint could become hot enough to burn the child.
Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used for
an extended period of time. Do not place heavy objects on top of it.
Stop use of a child restraint that is older than six years or has been in a
severe crash to prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage.
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble
any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or the
vehicle belts are used.
Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of
a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint from
protecting the child as well as it should.
Do not allow children to play with the child restraint.
Do not hang accessories or toys from handle. Doing so could create
a hazard for the child.
