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.
