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.
