General Information

WARNING!

•Long belt path is only for use with a lap-shoulder belt. Never use the long belt path option with LATCH or a lap belt.

•Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system when restraining a child in booster mode. Never restrain a child with only a lap belt in booster mode..

•Install forward-facing only.

•DO NOT use anything to raise the child seat off of the vehicle seat.

•Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for the LATCH anchors in your vehicle. Use the 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 lb (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.

Harness Mode

•The positioning block must be rotated to the front when installing the child seat in harness mode.

• Based on your vehicle’s seat belt configuration, you may achieve

a more secure installation using one of two approved lap-shoulder belt path options (long or short belt path). If the first installation method results in

more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) of front-to-back or side-to-side movement at the belt path, try the other option. See page 24 for information on selecting a belt path to install this child seat in your vehicle.

•Use this child seat in harness mode with children at least 2 years of age and 25 – 85 lbs (11.3 – 38.6 kg) who stand 30 – 57 in. (76.2 – 144.8 cm) in height. Britax recommends using harness mode to 85 lbs (38.6 kg). See the Child Seat Fit Recommendations section on page 6 for information on when your child has outgrown harness mode.
