This child restraint is certified for aircraft use. Most airlines in the U.S. and Canada will allow the use of a child restraint, if it is labeled as an approved child restraint for airline use and fits properly on the plane. Contact the airline about their policy prior to traveling.

•Place the child restraint next to a window to avoid blocking the aisle.

•If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask the flight attendant for a Belt Extender.

Versa-Tether®

WARNING: WHEN USING THE RESTRAINT IN FORWARD FACING MODE, ATTACH THE VERSA-TETHER ONLY TO TETHER ANCHORS IDENTIFIED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER AS TETHER ANCHORAGE POINTS. USE OF OTHER LOCATIONS IS NOT APPROVED OR PERMITTED.

•Britax® recommends that the tether be used at all times. Using the tether will improve the stability of the child restraint and reduce the risk of injury.

•If the vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor attachment, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for assistance.

•If a tether anchorage is not available, DO NOT modify the vehicle without advice from the vehicle manufacturer.

•DO NOT hook the Versa-Tether to the bottom of a vehicle seat adjuster!

•The back angle of the child restraint should not exceed 45º when properly installed in the rear facing position.

•The rear facing recline angle can be adjusted by tightening the tether as described on page 24, using anchor point 3.

•It may be necessary to loosen the tether and vehicle seat belt before adjusting the recline position.
