Vehicle Seating Positions
Vehicle Safety Belts
NOTE:
The information in this section only
applies to installation with vehicle seat belts.
IMPORTANT:
Some vehicles have no seating
positions which are compatible with this child
restraint, or any other child restraint. If in
doubt, contact your vehicle manufacturer for
assistance.
The following types of vehicle seat belts are
not compatible with this child restraint:
Front vehicle belts with top or bottom
anchorage points in the door.
Motor driven automatic vehicle belts.
Three-point belts that have separate
retractors for the shoulder section and
the lap section.
Non-locking (ELR) two-point vehicle
belts.
The owner's manual for your vehicle will have information on the types of
vehicle belts in your vehicle. If your belt type is listed above, select another
seating position.
This child restraint can fit securely in most vehicles using the existing
vehicle belts. However, some types of vehicle designs prevent a secure fit
of the child restraint due to the position of the vehicle belt lower
anchorage points.
WARNING:
•
Forward facing vehicle seats MUST be used with this child
restraint. Side facing or rear facing seats in vans, station wagons
or trucks CANNOT be used.
•
Britax and the U.S. Department of Transportation warn that
children 12 and under must ride in the rear seats, away from
front air bags. The only exception is if the air bag has been
turned off.
