WARNING!

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:

• Use only in a rear-facing position when using it with an infant

weighing less than 20 lbs (9.1 kg).

• Use only with children who weigh between 5 and 70 lbs

(2.3 – 31.8 kg) and whose height is 49 in. (124.5 cm) or less.

Use rear-facing for children who weigh between 5 and 40 lbs

(2.3 – 18.1 kg). Use forward-facing for children who weigh

between 20 and 70 lbs (9.1 – 31.8 kg).

• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint

around your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack.

It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not

press into the child’s flesh or push the child’s body into an

unnatural position.

• Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child seat.

• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint

anchorage system if available, or with a vehicle seat belt.

• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written

instructions located in the pocket behind the cover.

• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.

• This child seat must be reclined to position 3 when installed

rear-facing (see page 15).

• Use the inner buckle slot when installed rear-facing with

vehicle seat belt.

• Use the outer buckle slot when installing the child seat

forward-facing with a child weighing 30 lbs (13.6 kg) and

above or if the buckle is under the child in the inner position.

• When installing in forward-facing mode this child seat must

be in position 1 or position 2 (see page 15).

• HUGS™ chest pads must be used in forward-facing mode.

Removal of HUGS is optional only for rear-facing mode to

ensure a snug fit for small infants (approximately 3 months

old or less).

• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,

discontinue use of this child seat if it is older than seven

years or has been in a moderate or severe crash (see page

3). See Serial Number and Manufactured Date Label on child

seat (page 11).

• This child seat must not be used in the home, in boats, or

other non-certified applications.

• 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 9 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 to perform

as intended in a crash.

Important Notes

• Verify that the child seat is securely installed and the harness is

properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used

• Discontinue use of this child seat if it has been in a moderate

or severe crash. It is not necessary to replace a car seat after a

minor crash defined by the US National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) as:

* The vehicle is driveable from the crash site; and

* The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not damaged; and

* No vehicle occupants were injured; and

* There is no visible damage to the child seat; and

* The airbags (if present) did not deploy.

• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove

bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child in child seat.

• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight.

Metal parts of child seat could become hot enough to burn a child.

• Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid

placing heavy objects on top of it.

• Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.

• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble

any part of the child seat or change the way the harness or vehicle’s

seat belts are used.

• Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of

a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep

moving, potentially causing serious injuries.

• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unsecured or unlatched. In the

event of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child seat

not to perform as intended.

• Do not allow children to play with this child seat.

• Do not use anything to raise the child seat off vehicle seat except as

described in these instructions. Their use could cause the child seat

not to perform as intended in a crash.
