Forward-Facing Installation

LATCH Installation

Before You Begin:

•Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.

* Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower anchors. Use vehicle 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 pound (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle lower anchor limit.

•Remove the lower connectors from the storage slots in the base. Press the adjuster release button and pull the lower connector strap to full length. Repeat for the second strap.

•Remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch and place it up and over the child seat back.

* Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is used at all times. Using the tether will improve the stability of the child seat and reduce the risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for tether anchor locations. Only attach the Versa-Tether to anchor points designated to the chosen seating position as indicated by your vehicle owner’s manual.

•This child seat must be in position 1 or 2 and placed forward facing on the vehicle seat.

* Ensure that no more than 20% or 3 inches (7.6 cm) of the base hangs over the edge of the vehicle seat. See page 23 for more information.

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.
