INTRODUCTION

This instruction book covers various models under the series number 7300/A/2010, 7300/D/2010 design. These child restraints are installed in the rear of the car and can be used either rearward-facing for infants or forward facing for older children. They are installed in the car using the car seatbelt and

the tether strap attached to the car's child restraint anchor tting.

To be used only in a rearward-facing position for an infant until their shoulders reach the lower shoulder height marker (approximately 12 months of age). Then to be used in forward-facing position until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).

Continue to use this child restraint until the child reaches this limit.

Do not use forward facing until child's shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.

Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early.

Children are at risk of serious injury if they move to booster seats too early.

Children that have outgrown this restraint are safest in a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the booster seat.

CAREFULLY READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION. IN THE EVENT OF DOUBT ABOUT THE METHOD OF INSTALLATION, CONSULT BRITAX CHILDCARE OR AGENT OR A CHILD RESTRAINT FITTING STATION AUTHORISED BY A RELEVANT TRANSPORT AUTHORITY OR, IN NEW ZEALAND, THE AGENT FOR THE VEHICLE.

No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash. However, to ensure that your child gets all the protection designed into the restraint PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY and use only Safe-n-Sound (Britax) recommended parts and accessories.

THIS RESTRAINT MUST BE ATTACHED TO A CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE POINT IN THE CAR. REFER TO CAR OWNER’S HANDBOOK FOR LOCATION OF ANCHORAGE POINTS. REFER TO A CHILD RESTRAINT FITTING STATION IF NO ANCHORAGE POINTS ARE IN THE MOTOR CAR.

TO BE USED WITH A LAP-SASH OR LAP-ONLY SEAT BELT IN THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING SEATS.

Always store the instruction book in the pocket provided on the side or back of the cover.

• Use the restraint exactly as shown in the instructions.

• Fit the restraint rmly to the car seat.

• Fit the harness rmly to the child.

• A loose restraint or harness is dangerous.

• Supervision of children is needed because they may be able to undo buckles and adjusters.

• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN THE CAR.

• Do not alter or modify this restraint.

• Repairs must only be done by the manufacturer or agent.

• Do not allow the restraint to come into contact with polishes, oils, bleach and other chemicals.

• DO NOT USE THIS RESTRAINT WITHOUT A COVER.

• Regularly check the restraint components, straps & other tments for correct function and

condition. Seek prompt repair.

• To ensure baby’s back is evenly supported do not put more than one nappy on the baby and

make sure the nappy is not thickly folded at the back.

• DO NOT USE A REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT WHERE AN AIRBAG IS FITTED IN THE FRONT

OF THE SEATING POSITION.

• If an airbag is tted in the desired seating position where the child restraint is to be tted, follow

the vehicle manufacturer's warnings and instructions.

• The restraint should not be purchased or sold as a second hand item. It is recommended not to

use child restraints older that 10 years as the protection in an accident may be reduced.

• THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WHERE THE ANCHORAGE STRAP MAY FALL INTO

A SPLIT IN THE SEAT BACK (E.G. HATCHBACK OR WAGON).

4 5

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN THE CAR.

• The restraint is not intended to be a substitute baby cot or bed. It is only designed to enable safe

transportation of children in motor vehicles. Do not leave a baby in the restraint for long periods of time.

• Straps may be damaged by unsecured cargo in a collision. Secure or remove hazardous cargo

before using this strap. Hatchback or wagon: Do not use the child restraint where the upper anchorage strap may fall into a split in the seat back.

• Protect all webbing from abrasion and cutting by sharp corners and edges.

• Do not lift the seat by the Headrest.

• Do not store in areas that may get hot, like in car boots, roof space, beside shed walls which get

hot in summer. Do not place heavy items on top of the seat as this may distort the plastic.

SUITABLE FOR USE - REARWARD-FACING

TO BE USED WITH A LAP SASH OR LAP ONLY SEAT BELT IN THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD-FACING SEATS.

Continue to use this restraint in this rear facing mode until the child's shoulders reach the limit of the lower shoulder height marker before turning the seat to face forward. A baby's neck muscles may be unable to support their head thus the baby should remain rear facing until the neck muscles become stronger.

The purchaser should check the measurements between the front of the seat back of the rear seat and all front seats in the car in which the child restraint is intended to be used, to ensure that the space is

sufcient. If you have the restraint check it ts in your car.

Regional Road Rules may prohibit the use of this restraint in the front seat until the child is 4 years of age. Check your Regional Road Rules for exemptions.

HOW TO SETUP

Lift Recline Latch

CONVERT TO BABY USE MODE

A. To fully recline the restraint into Child use mode, place one hand

on the front corner of the base rmly, lift recline latch up to unlock,

continue pulling restraint forward until fully reclined or unable to recline further.

B. Once fully reclined in Child use mode, pull the baby recline latch located behind the restraint body, continue pulling the restraint forward until fully reclined into baby use mode.

ADJUSTING HASSLE FREE HARNESS™ STRAP HEIGHT & HEADREST: FOR BABY USE REARWARD-FACING

Correct tment of the harness is very impor tant as it restrains the baby in the restraint. The Headrest must be in the correct position & the harness must t rmly around upper torso of the baby and be

positioned so as to leave the baby's arms and legs free.

For babies in rear facing mode the headrest must be in the position where the top of the shoulder strap slots are nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not lower than the child’s shoulders. Instructions for adjusting the headrest is on the next page. If your baby has reached the lower shoulder height marker then the restraint may be converted for forward-facing “child use”. (Refer to Forward Facing section from page 28.)

HOW TO SETUP

1. The shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest to the child's shoulders, but not lower than the child's shoulders. There is only one set of slots so the seat will always have the shoulder straps in place once the headrest is positioned correctly.

2. The Insert pad may be used for rearward facing or in baby mode for small babies.

3. Discontinue the use of the insert pad if

there is insufcient room for the baby

or shoulders have reached the lower shoulder height marker.

IMPORTANT:

If using an Extension Strap, positioning the Attachment Clip above the baby may lead to injury in an accident therefore make sure that the Attachment Clip is not positioned in front of the vehicle seat.

ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT OF RESTRAINT

Some vehicle seats have more rearward slope than others. If the angle of the seat causes the baby to

be too upright for comfort, the angle may be altered by placing a rm packing between the seat and the underside of the base. Packing can be a rmly rolled up towel or nappy.

If the car's seat is at then some packing may be required at the front edge of the Base to achieve the

recline angle.

Do not remove all of the rearward slope by over packing. Always leave a rearward slope angle of approximately 10 to 15 degrees as shown

10° to 15°

Once the child's shoulders reach the lower shoulder height marker then the seat can be changed to the forward-facing position and used until the child's shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker.

Continue to use this restraint in this forward-facing mode until the child's shoulders reaches the limit of the lower shoulder height marker. The child should not sit forward-facing until the baby's neck muscles are able to support their head. Do not move to a Booster Seat until the child has outgrown this child restraint.

Regional Road Rules may prohibit the use of this restraint in the front seat of the vehicle until the child is 4 years of age. Check your Regional Road Rules for exemptions.

DO NOT USE RESTRAINT IN FORWARD- FACING MODE WITH THE REAR FACING MODE STABILISING BAR PULLED OUT.

Do not use the restraint without the Upper Anchorage Strap correctly attached.

If your vehicle is not tted with an anchor point, please contact a Safety Restraint Fitting Station authorised by the relevant State Government Body for correct tment of the restraint. In New Zealand

contact the agent for the vehicle. The upper anchorage strap must be attached to an anchorage point using an extension strap if necessary.

Do not use on any vehicle seat which faces sideways or rearwards.

Do not use the Insert Pad (if tted) in Forward Facing ‘Child Use’.

If an airbag is tted in the desired seating position where the child restraint is tted, follow the vehicle

manufacturer's warnings and instructions.

Children are of risk of serious injury if they move to a booster seat too early.

ADJUSTING HASSLE FREE HARNESS™ STRAP HEIGHT & HEADREST: FOR CHILD USE FORWARD-FACING

Correct tment of the harness is very impor tant as it restrains the child in the restraint. The harness must t rmly around the upper torso of the child and be positioned so as to leave the child's arms and

legs free.

With the headrest adjusted so that the bottom edges are just above the child's shoulders the harness

will then t closely to the child's shoulders. If the Headrest is in the top position and the shoulders

are above the upper shoulder height marker then the child is too tall for the restraint and the restraint should not be used; move to next type of restraint (see pages 6 to 8).

The shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest to the child's shoulders, but not more than 25mm below the child's shoulders. There is only one set of slots so the seat will always have the shoulder straps in place once the headrest is positioned correctly, just above the child's shoulders.

Note: This child restraint does not require the strap to be disconnected to adjust their height, only the headrest needs to be moved to adjust the shoulder strap position.

HOW TO USE

TO RECLINE RESTRAINT

The child restraint may be reclined or positioned upright without removing the child from the restraint but it is easier without the child. Lift the recline latch and push or pull to get the desired recline. There are 3 recline positions. You will be able to gain partial recline from upright position by just pushing the recline latch up and pulling the seat forward. The extent of the recline will be limited by the location of the anchorage point. Loosening of the upper anchorage strap may be required when positioning the restraint to either an upright or reclined position. Once the required position has been determined ensure to tighten the upper anchorage strap and re-check the car seat belt tension i.e., all slack to be removed.

Push recline latch up while moving restraint into desired recline position.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

TO CLEAN HARNESS BUCKLE:

If sticky liquids such as baby formula, fruit juice, etc. get inside your Harness Buckle, it may become sluggish. An indication of a sluggish Harness Buckle is that you cannot hear a click when engaging the Harness Tongues. To restore the Harness Buckle to good working order it needs to be cleaned as follows:

A. From the underside of the restraint pull each crotch 3-bar slide

then turn 3-bar slide and push through each slot to remove the Harness Buckle from the restraint.

B. Place the Harness Buckle under warm (max. 40 degrees

Celsius) running water as shown below. Let the water run

through the mouth of the buckle for ve minutes. Do not

immerse the harness in water.

COVER (STYLE MAY VARY)

The restraint has a ame retardant cover which is removable for cleaning. Cleaning instructions are on the care label attached to the cover. If uffy cover is tted then washing cover prior to use will remove excess uff.

Drying the Insert Pad will take additional time as the impact foam will absorb moisture. Before washing re-engage the hook and loop on the cover and Seat Pad to prevent the 'hook' damaging the fabric. The cover has been designed to protect your child when seated in the restraint. Care should be taken if children either eat or drink while in the restraint as some food or drink products may cause damage or marking to the cover. Wash or clean immediately. Do not pull sticky items from covers as the cover may be damaged - soak in water and gently remove.

E. Remove headrest cover by unclipping the

press studs on the Headrest hardware, and then unhooking the elastic loop attached to the headrest cover.

Pull the headrest cover off the Headrest.

TRAVELLING TIPS

SAFETY

Never hold a baby in arms when riding in a motor vehicle. In this position the baby could be thrown against the dashboard, windscreen or other occupant and suffer serious injury or death.

When riding in a motor vehicle, never nurse a baby and use the same seat belt for both of you. In this position the baby or child could be crushed.

Children must be secured in appropriate restraints at all times when the car is in motion. Children

travelling unrestrained and standing up in the car are in danger of serious injury or death. Trafc

regulations in all states require children to be secured in child restraints or adult seat belts where available.

Plan your trip with frequent comfort stops to reduce stress on babies, young children and driver. Keep the car well ventilated to reduce heat stress. Two car windows should be kept open to maintain a good

ow of fresh air if air conditioning is not used.

Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car in the sun because of the risk of heat exhaustion.

Ensure babies and toddlers are adequately shaded from direct sunlight through side or rear windows.

Be on guard against carbon monoxide poisoning which can occur through only a slight leak in the exhaust system while travelling in a closed car.

Securely stow all heavy objects, feeding bottles, etc. that could become missiles during an accident and cause injury to any occupant.

50 51

TRAVELLING TIPS

CLOTHING/BATHING

Take several changes of clothing and bibs for possible car sickness. Disposable nappies and liners are very handy while travelling. Since it is often warmer in the car, dress the baby in light clothing. When cooler, it is easier to place a blanket over the baby than it is to remove the baby from the restraint and change clothes.

FEEDING

Never breast feed a baby while car is in motion. Babies will require extra feeding if travelling in the

heat. For bottle fed babies, make up the bottles and refrigerate before leaving home for a day trip. Place in a cool bag and reheat as needed with hot water from a thermos.

Alternatively, bring boiled water in a thermos and pre-measured amounts of baby formula in small containers. Use the water from the thermos to mix with the formula when required. Regardless which method is used, it is always a good plan to carry some boiled water in a sterile container or bottle.

Do not attempt to carry warm milk because germs multiply rapidly in warm milk.

Consult the vehicle owner’s handbook for location of anchorage ttings or anchorage points and the possible use of spacers. Some vehicles may have an anchor tting tted by the vehicle manufacturer. If anchorage points cannot be found refer to car manufacturer or local child restraint tting station or trafc authority for optimum position of anchorage point and the use of spacers.

UPPER ANCHORAGE STRAP

IMPORTANT:

THE ATTACHMENT CLIP COVER MUST ALWAYS BE USED AS IT PREVENTS THE RISK OF INCORRECT FITMENT OF THE ATTACHMENT CLIP TO THE ANCHOR FITTING. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE ATTACHMENT CLIP IS CORRECTLY ENGAGED TO THE ANCHOR FITTING AND NOT HOOKED OR FITTED TO ANY OTHER OBJECT BEFORE EACH USE OF THE RESTRAINT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN VEHICLES SUCH AS STATION WAGONS, VANS, HATCH BACKS OR VEHICLES WITHOUT A FIXED PARCEL SHELF, SINCE THE ANCHOR POINT IS USUALLY NOT VISIBLE.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE:

In some vehicles the anchor tting in the rear vertical panel can only be installed in one way. Please refer to vehicle owner’s handbook or a child restraint tting station for correct method.

If your restraint has been involved in a severe crash, you should destroy the restraint even if no damage is obvious. Some insurance companies offer vehicle insurance which covers or partially covers the replacement of your child restraint. Contact your insurance company for further details. Your insurance company may require you to keep the child restraint for assessment, but do not use

the child restraint after a severe crash. To assist you in making an accident insurance claim cut the

following statement and include it with your claim.

All Safe-n-Sound child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand Standards

AS/NZS1754-2010 which requires us to advise users of child restraints to "Destroy the

entire restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even if no damage is obvious". The

joint Australian/New Zealand Standards committee CS/85, advise that this statement

applies whether a child was in the child restraint or not. We consider a "server crash" as

being one where the main body structure of the vehicle is distorted. There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged and we concur with the Australian/New Zealand Standards in recommending destruction of the child restraint. This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand Standards

and our obligation in complying with the standards.

Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT NOTES

CRASH EXCHANGE

We would never want you to experience an accident, but unfortunately accidents do happen.

If you experience an accident you may be eligible for a free replacement.

The Safe-n-Sound Crash Exchange Program is a voluntary program designed to ensure that our children are safe and that any seat that may have experienced a severe crash is taken out of the market.

There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged in a severe crash, so the restraint should be destroyed as the crash may reduce the child restraints ability to perform.

Since its inception in 2006, the Crash Exchange program has helped 100’s of families ensure that their children have new restraints and that the restraints are not sold second hand placing others at risk.

Our Crash Exchange Terms and Application form are accessible on our website. Please visit www.britax.com.au for further information.
