WARNING!

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur if the following are not observed:

sUse this child seat forward-facing only.

ssUse only with children who weigh between 22 and 80 pounds (10 and 36.3 kg) and whose height is 53 inches (134.6 cm) or less.

ssAdjust the belts provided with this child seat so they fit snugly around your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.

sSecure the Versa-Tether®provided with this child seat.

sSecure this child seat with vehicle’s Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system if available or with a vehicle belt.

sFollow all instructions on this child seat and in the written instructions.

sRegister your child seat with the manufacturer, Britax Child Safety, Inc. by visiting www.BritaxUSA.com/registration, OR complete and return the registration card that was shipped with this child seat.

sRefer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors. Use 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.

sThe HUGS™ chest pads and the recline bar must be used at all times.

sThis child seat must not be used in the home, in boats, or other non-certified applications.

sSecure this child seat even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.

sNever use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child seat. Doing so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing. Always carry this child seat by the shell or tether straps.

sNever route the vehicle belt over the child.

sBased 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 Vehicle Compatibility on pages 10-11 to ensure your child’s safety and consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

sThe 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.

sWhen using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for child seat installation instructions and precautions.

sTo 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.
