Child Seat Functions

Forward-Facing

IMPORTANT: In forward-facing installations, it is important that the base of the child seat rests completely flat on the vehicle seat. As illustrated below, it is permissible to allow up to 20% or 3 inches (7.6 cm) of the base to hang over the edge of the vehicle seat. Some vehicle seats do not allow enough of the child seat base to contact the vehicle seat. If this is the case, adjust the recline angle to a more upright position. Not doing so could cause the child seat not to perform as intended.

WARNING: In some cases, the vehicle head restraint can prevent the child seat head restraint from being raised high enough to properly

adjust the harness for the fit of your child when

using a forward facing reclined position. DO NOT force the child seat head restraint past the vehicle head restraint. Doing so could cause the child seat

not to perform as intended. If the location of the vehicle head restraint interferes with the child seat

head restraint, raise or remove the vehicle head restraint. If the vehicle head restraint cannot be removed, move the child seat to the upright position or try a different seating location.

70 CS specifications

The Britax 70 CS is a highly regarded car seat designed for optimal safety, comfort, and convenience for parents and their little ones. It exemplifies Britax's commitment to innovative features and thoughtful design, ensuring that both parents and children have peace of mind during travel.

One of the standout features of the Britax 70 CS is its unique SafeCell Technology. This system includes a specially designed base that compresses during a crash, lowering the center of gravity and reducing the likelihood of vehicle movement. This feature helps to keep the car seat more securely anchored in place, providing additional protection for the child in the event of an accident. Additionally, the car seat is equipped with a Deep Side Impact Protection system, which features a contoured shell that absorbs crash energy and absorbs impact forces, effectively safeguarding the child's head, neck, and torso.

Comfort is another key characteristic of the Britax 70 CS. The seat is engineered with plush, soft fabrics that provide a cozy environment for children. The seat also features multiple recline positions, allowing parents to adjust the angle for their child's comfort. This is particularly important for younger children who may need a more reclined position to support their head and neck.

Installation of the Britax 70 CS is designed to be user-friendly. The seat features the easy to use, secure installation system with a built-in lock-off that ensures the seat is tightly secured to the vehicle's seat. The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors make it simple to install the car seat without the use of the vehicle's seat belt.

In terms of versatility, the Britax 70 CS accommodates children from 5 to 70 pounds, allowing for extended use as the child grows. Its harness system is adjustable, ensuring proper fit as the child gains weight and height. Furthermore, it converts seamlessly from a rear-facing car seat for infants to a forward-facing seat for older children, making it a long-term investment for safety.

Overall, the Britax 70 CS stands out as a premier choice for parents seeking a car seat that brings together high-level safety features, comfort, and ease of use. Its combination of advanced technologies and thoughtful design makes it an excellent option for family journeys.
