Frequently asked questions
No child seat is escape proof
Second-hand car seats
EXTREME HAZARD - DO NOT use the PRINCE on passenger seats fitted with airbags.
DO NOT use the PRINCE on side facing vehicle seats.
DO NOT use the PRINCE in the home. It has not been designed for home use and should only be used in
your car.
DO NOT use anything, such as a cushion or coat, to raise the PRINCE off the passenger seat. In an accident
the PRINCE and your car seat-belts would not be able to protect your child as well as they should.
DO NOT attempt to dismantle, modify or add to any part of the PRINCE or change the way your car seat-
belts are made or used.
DO cover the PRINCE if your car is left in direct sunshine. Metal and plastic fittings can become hot to touch
in sunny weather.
DO keep this User Guide in a safe place for future reference.
Does the
PRINCE
fit all cars?
All makes, models and years of car differ from one another and it is not guaranteed that this restraint will fit your car.
For advice as to the suitability of this restraint for your car please call our Customer Service Helpline on 01264 386034.
Can I put my child in the
PRINCE
before they reach 9kg in weight?
No, the weight range corresponds with the European Standard applying to child car seats and
PRINCE
has been tested
and approved from 9kg. In addition to weighing 9kg your child should also be able to sit unaided with confidence.
Can I install the
PRINCE
in the front seat of my car?
Yes, unless a passenger seat airbag is fitted.
Can I install the
PRINCE
using a lap-belt?
Yes, the
PRINCE
is suitable to install using either a lap and diagonal seat-belt or lap-belt.
When do I adjust the height of the harness?
When you first purchase the
PRINCE
, then periodically as your child grows (see "Harness adjustment" on page 3).
Can I buy a spare cover in the same fabric I currently have?
Spare covers are available in SELECTED fabrics only. To find out which fabrics you can choose from please contact our
Customer Service Helpline on 01264 386034.
What do I do if the harness buckle does not click when I fasten it?
If you have just fitted the cover or changed the shoulder strap height, check that you have threaded the harness
correctly (see "Harness Adjustment" on page 3). Alternatively, your buckle may need cleaning; see "Removing and
Cleaning the Harness" on page 11.
Harness systems cannot be designed to be completely “child proof” and yet comply with the legal requirements of
European Standard ECE R44. The harness must be fastened and adjusted correctly at all times and children encouraged
to remain within the harness system.
The Hampshire Trading Standards Authority and Britax advise that child car seats should not be bought or sold secondhand. Many seats sold through local advertising and car-boot sales have been found to be dangerous. Please dispose of
your child car seat safely.
