FAILURE TO FOLLOW
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN YOUR CHILD STRIKING THE
VEHICLE'S INTERIOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH.
SECURE THE BOOSTER SEAT WITH A VEHICLE BELT AS SPECIFIED
IN THIS INSTRUCTION BOOKLET.
WARNING! USE ONLY THE VEHICLE'S LAP AND SHOULDER BELT
SYSTEM WHEN RESTRAINING THE CHILD IN THIS BOOSTER
SEAT. Under no circumstances should you use the Roadster with
two point seat belts (lap belt only or shoulder belt only). Your child
will be seriously injured in the event of a crash!
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating positions.
The actual dimensions of the seat and details of seat belts used to
attach the booster seat differ from vehicle to vehicle. Please study
the section on Compatible Seat Belts. If in doubt, consult your
motor vehicle handbook and your Britax retailer.
The primary protection for occupants of a motor vehicle in a
collision is the structure of the vehicle itself, and a booster seat will
not protect a child when the vehicle sustains very serious damage.
However, a child in a booster seat correctly installed will
substantially improve the chances for survival in all accidents. Make
sure that you understand the correct way to use this booster seat in
your vehicle.
