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

WARNING!
When using the child seat in forward-facing mode, attach the Versa- •
Tether only to tether anchors designated by the vehicle manufacturer
as tether anchorage points. Use of other locations is not approved
or permitted.
DO NOT modify the vehicle without advice from the vehicle •
manufacturer if a tether anchorage is not available.
IMPORTANT:
Britax recommends that the tether be used at all times. Using the •
tether will improve the stability of the child seat and reduce the risk
of injury.
If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor attachment, •
refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for assistance.
The FAA recommends that a child weighing up to 40 pounds (18.1 kg)
use a certified, harnessed child seat while traveling on an aircraft.
Install your child seat in a window seat to avoid blocking the aisle.
If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask the flight attendant for a belt
extender.
