Section Title

• 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.
