Safety Information

Failure to follow all warnings and instructions could result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.

FIT REQUIREMENTS

• Use rear-facing for children who weigh between 2.3 and 18 kg (5 and 40 lbs) and whose height is 124.5 cm (49 in.) or less. Use forward-facing for children who weigh between 10 and 29.4 kg (22 and 65 lbs) and whose height is 124.5 cm (49 in.) or less AND are able to walk unassisted.

• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around your child.

INSTALLATION

• Secure the top tether strap provided with this child restraint.

• This child restraint system must be used only in a forward-facing seating position equipped with a vehicle seat belt or a lower universal anchorage system (LUAS).

• Do not use this seat in a position where the recline indicator ball is outside of the allowable range for the chosen installation method (see pages 25-26).

• Use the buckle slot closest to, but not underneath, your child when installing the child seat rear facing. Use only the outer buckle slot when installing forward facing.

GENERAL USAGE

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

• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.

• This child seat can only be used in the following classes of vehicles: multi-purpose passenger vehicles, passenger card, or trucks.

• In a vehicle with rear designated seating positions, vehicle owners should be alerted that, according to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions. To ensure your child’s safety, please study Vehicle Seating Positions on page 32 and consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

• Always make sure the child restraint system is secured to the vehicle, even when unoccupied, since in a crash an unsecured child restraint system may injure occupants.

• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage, discontinue use of this child seat if it is older than ten years or has been in a moderate or severe crash (see below). See Serial Number and Manufactured Date Label on child seat (pages 2-3).

• The use of non-BRITAX 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

• Do not install with LUAS for a child weighing more than

15.8 kg (35 lbs) rear facing or 18 kg (40 lbs) forward facing.

• Ensure that the shell cover is properly secured behind the red markers to allow for proper functioning of the CLICKTIGHT mechanism (see page 37).

• 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 Trac Safety Administration (NHTSA) as:

a. The vehicle is drivable from the crash site; and b. The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not

damaged; and c. No vehicle occupants were injured; and d. There is no visible damage to the child seat; and e. The airbags (if present) did not deploy.

• 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, 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.

• 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.
