•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 Vehicle Seating Positions on page 13 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 the harness 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.

•Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower anchors. Use vehicle seat belt (not lower connectors) for installations with children who weigh more than the vehicle lower anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 lb (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle lower anchor limit.

•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 not perform as intended in a crash.

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.
