Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
•
For harness mode refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or
contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight
rating for the LATCH anchors in your vehicle. Use the vehicle
belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children
who weigh more than the vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless
specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40
pound (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.
•
Use this child seat forward-facing only.
•
According to accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
•
This child seat must not be used in the home, in boats, or other
non-certified applications.
•
To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of this child seat when it is older than nine
years or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See date of
manufacture and expiration date located on child seat shell.
See page 5.
•
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision
is the body of the vehicle itself. A child seat may not protect a
child when the vehicle is seriously im pact ed. However when
correctly installed, a child seat will substantially improve the
chances for survival in most crashes.
•
Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child seat can become hot enough to
burn a child.
•
Secure this child seat even when it is not occupied. In a crash,
an unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.
•
Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the child seat.
•
Never use the harness or adjuster strap to lift or carry this child
seat. Doing so could damage the harness adjuster and webbing.
Always carry this child seat by the shell or tether straps.
•
Do not allow children to play with this child seat.
•
The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories, or
tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their use could
cause this child seat to fail Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or not perform as intended in a crash.
•
Always check the back seat upon leaving your vehicle to prevent
leaving a child restrained in a child seat alone in the vehicle.
•
Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of
a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving, potentially striking passengers and causing serious injuries.
•
Do not leave folding vehicle seats unsecured. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child seat not to
perform as intended.
•
Prevent the Side Impact Cushions from being punctured. Puncture
damage will cause the cushions not to perform as intended in a
crash.
Important Notes
•
Verify that the child seat is securely installed and that the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used.
•
Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove
bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child in the child seat.
•
Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble
any part of the child seat or change the way the harness or vehicle’s
seat belts are used.
•
Do not use anything to raise the child seat off of the vehicle seat. In a
crash, this could cause the child seat not to perform as intended.
