Adjust the belts provided with this child seat so they fit snugly around
your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a
relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child's
flesh or push the child's body into an unnatural position.

Secure this child seat with vehicle's child seat
Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system if available or with a vehicle
belt.

Follow all instructions on the child seat labels and in this user guide.

Inc. by visiting www.BritaxUSA.com/registration, OR fill out the
registration card that was shipped with this child seat.

use of a child seat that is older than six years or has been in a

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 Safety Belts 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 vehicle occupants 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 the 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.
