Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press into the child’s flesh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.

Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child restraint.

Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.

Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written instructions located under the child seat cover.

Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.

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.
