WARNING!
• Install forward-facing only.
• DO NOT use anything to raise the child seat off of the
vehicle seat.
• Use the vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for harness
mode installations with children who weigh more than
18.1 kg (40 lbs).
• The top tether must be used at all times when installing
the child seat in harness mode. Using the top tether will
improve the stability of your child seat and reduce the risk
of injury.
General Information
Harness Mode
Booster Mode
• This child seat can be used in
booster mode with children who
weigh between 18.1 and 54.4 kg
(40 and 120 lbs) and stand between
114.3 and 157.5 cm (45 and 62 in.)
in height. Britax recommends using
booster mode only once your child
has outgrown harness mode.
• This child seat cannot be in the
recline position when used in
booster mode.
• In booster mode, this child seat
can be positioned on the vehicle
seat using the LUAS system. Use
the vehicle’s lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child. Ensure that the
LUAS system does not interfere
with the vehicle belt function and
alignment when securing your
child.
WARNING!
• Position forward-facing only in a seating position with a
lap-shoulder belt.
• Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system when
securing a child in booster mode. Never secure a child
with a lap belt only in booster mode.
• Always secure the unoccupied child seat.
• If the lower anchors in your vehicle prevent proper vehicle
belt fit across your child you cannot use LUAS to position
this seat in booster mode. See below.
The vehicle belt fits properly
when the lap part sits low across
the child’s upper thighs (b) and
the shoulder part lies across the
center of the child’s chest and
does not contact the child’s neck
when routed through the upper
belt guide (a).
