FAILURE TO FOLLOW EACH OF THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN YOUR CHILD STRIKING
THE VEHICLE’S INTERIOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR
CRASH. SECURE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT WITH A VEHI-
CLE BELT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS USER GUIDE.
•
According to accident statistics, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration recommends that parents select the
rear seat as the safest location for a properly installed child
restraint. Please study the section on
Vehicle Safety Belts
in
this booklet for the safety assurance of your child. If in
doubt about installing your child restraint, consult your vehi-
cle owner’s manual.
•
Secure this child restraint with the vehicle belts even when it
is not occupied. In a crash, an unsecured child restraint may
injure vehicle occupants.
•
Owners of vehicles with air bags should refer to their vehicle
owner’s manual for child restraint installation instructions.
•
Britax recommends that all child restraints be installed in the
rear seat.
•
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a colli-
sion is the body of the vehicle itself; a child restraint will not
protect a child when the vehicle is seriously impacted.
However, correctly installed, a child restraint will substantial-
ly improve the chances for survival in most accidents. Make
sure that you fully understand the correct way to use this
child restraint in your vehicle.
•
DO NOT place any child restraint in the front seat of a vehi-
cle with a passenger air bag unless the air bag is turned off.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The back seat is the
safest place for children under 12.
•
Install this child restraint only in vehicle seats which face for-
ward! Do not install this restraint on vehicle seats facing side-
ways or backwards!
