Introduction (Continued)

FAILURE TO FOLLOW EACH OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUC-
TIONS CAN RESULT IN YOUR CHILD STRIKING THE VEHICLE'S
INTERIOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH.
SECURE THE CHILD SEAT WITH A VEHICLE BELT AS SPECIFIED
IN THIS INSTRUCTION BOOKLET.
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 Cruiser with two
point seat belts (lap belt only or shoulder belt only). Your child
will be seriously injured in the event of a crash!
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recom-
mends, according to accident statistics, that parents select the
rear seat as the safest location for a child car seat.  However,
the actual dimensions of the seat and details of the safety belts
used to attach the child 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 dealer.
The primary protection for occupants of a motor vehicle in a
collision is the structure of the vehicle itself, and a child seat will
not protect a child when the vehicle sustains very serious dam-
age.  However, a child in a child seat correctly installed, will
substantially improve the chances for survival in all accidents.
Make sure that you understand the correct way to use this child
seat in your vehicle.
