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 child seat (see page 8).
This child seat must not be used in the home, in boats, or other
•
non-certified applications.
Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
•
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the back
seat as the safest location for a properly installed child seat. Please
study the
Vehicle Compatibility
(pages 10-15) section in this booklet
to ensure your child’s safety and consult your vehicle owner’s
manual.
Secure this child seat even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an
•
unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.
When using in a vehicle with air bags, refer to your vehicle owner’s
•
manual for child seat installation instructions and precautions.
Never use adjuster strap to lift or carry this child seat. Doing so
•
could cause damage to harness adjuster and webbing. Always
carry this child seat by its shell or tether straps.
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.
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.
