The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the
•
body of the vehicle itself; a child seat will not protect a child when
a vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, a child
seat will substantially improve chances for survival in most crashes.
Make sure all users fully understand the correct ways to use this child
seat in a vehicle.
When using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s
•
manual for child seat installation instructions and precautions.
To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage, discontinue
•
use of a child seat that is older than six years or has been in a
moderate or severe crash. See date of manufacture located on the
child seat.
The use of non-Britax Child Safety, Inc. covers, inserts, toys,
•
accessories, or tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their
use could cause this child seat to fail Federal Safety Standards or not
perform as intended in a crash.
