Aircraft Installation
This child seat is certified for aircraft use. Most
airlines in the U.S. and Canada will allow use of a
child seat if it is labeled as an approved child seat
for airline use and fits properly on plane. Contact
the airline about their policy prior to traveling.
•
The FAA recommends that a child
weighing up to 40 pounds use a
certified, harnessed child seat while
traveling on an aircraft.
•
Install your child seat in a window seat
to avoid blocking the aisle.
•
If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask
the flight attendant for a belt extender.

Safety Information
WARNING!
When using the child seat in forward-facing
mode, attach the Versa-Tether
identified by the vehicle manufacturer as tether-anchorage
points. Use of other locations is not approved or permitted.
DO NOT modify the vehicle without advice from the vehicle
manufacturer if a tether anchorage is not available.
DO NOT hook the Versa-Tether
adjuster!
IMPORTANT:
•
Britax recommends that the tether be used at all times. Using
the tether will improve the stability of the child seat and reduce
the risk of injury.
•
If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the
vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
•
The back angle of the child seat should not exceed 45º from
vertical when properly installed in rear-facing position.
