Introduction

•
Read and understand this information booklet before using
this product. To ensure proper restraint use, store this booklet
so you can consult it often.
•
This child restraint is designed for use only by children who
weigh between 20 and 40 pounds (9 and 18 kg) and whose
height is between 27 and 40 inches (69 and 102 cm).
•
This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal
motor vehicle safety standards. This restraint is certified for
use in motor vehicles and aircraft.
•
This child restraint must not be used in the home, in boats, or
other non-certified applications.
•
This child restraint is LATCH compatible.
Fill oout tthe rregistration ccard aand mmail iit iin ttoday!
Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register this restraint to be reached in a recall. Send your name,
address, and the restraint's model number and manufacturing
date to Britax Child Safety, Inc. 13501 South Ridge Drive
Charlotte, NC 28273 or call 1-888-4BRITAX. For recall information, call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at
1-800-424-9393 (202-366-0123 in DC area).
•
Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is
properly adjusted around your child each time you use the
child restraint.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes your child is wearing. The fit
for a child in winter clothes will differ from a child in summer
clothes.
• Cover the child restraint if your vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child restraint can become very hot and
burn the child.
• Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
•
Discontinue use of a child restraint that is older than six years
or has been in a severe crash to prevent injury due to
deterioration or hidden damage.
• Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassem-
ble any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness
or your vehicle restraint belts are used.
• Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of
your vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will
keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint
from protecting your child as well as it should.
• Do not allow children to play with the child restraint.
• Do not use anything to raise the restraint off the vehicle seat. In
an accident, it could slide and be unable to protect your child as
well as it should.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW EACH OF THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN YOUR CHILD STRIKING
THE VEHICLE’S INTERIOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR
CRASH. SECURE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT WITH A VEHICLE BELT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS USER GUIDE.
•
According to accident statistics, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration recommends that parents select the
rear seat as the safest location for a properly installed child
restraint. Please study the section on
Vehicle Safety Belts
in
this booklet for the safety assurance of your child. If in
doubt about installing your child restraint, consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
•
Secure this child restraint with the vehicle belts even when it
is not occupied. In a crash, an unsecured child restraint may
injure vehicle occupants.
•
Owners of vehicles with air bags should refer to their vehicle
owner’s manual for child restraint installation instructions.
•
Britax recommends that all child restraints be installed in the
rear seat.
•
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the body of the vehicle itself; a child restraint will not
protect a child when the vehicle is seriously impacted.
However, correctly installed, a child restraint will substantially improve the chances for survival in most accidents. Make
sure that you fully understand the correct way to use this
child restraint in your vehicle.
•
DO NOT place any child restraint in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger air bag unless the air bag is turned off.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The back seat is the
safest place for children under 12.
•
Install this child restraint only in vehicle seats which face forward! Do not install this restraint on vehicle seats facing sideways or backwards!

NOTE:
The information in this section only
applies to installation with vehicle seat belts.
If using LATCH, this section should be
ignored.
IMPORTANT:
Some vehicles have no seating positions which are compatible with this
child restraint, or any other child restraint. If
in doubt, contact your vehicle manufacturer
for assistance.
The following types of vehicle seat belts are
not
compatible with this child restraint:
Front seat belts with top or bottom
anchorage points in the door.
Motor driven automatic seat belts.
Three-point belts that have separate
retractors for the shoulder section and
the lap section.
Non-locking (ELR) two-point seat belts.
The owner's manual for your vehicle will have information on the types of
seat belts in your vehicle. If your belt type is listed above, select another
seating position. This child restraint will work with rear seat three-point
seat belts with a sliding latch plate, and with rear seat three-point seat belts
that are specifically marked as appropriate for child restraints. The middle
rear seat of most vehicles has a lap belt which most often will work.
This child restraint can fit securely in most vehicles using the existing seat
belts. However, some types of vehicle designs prevent a secure fit of the
child restraint due to the position of the seat belt lower anchorage points.

Use this simple guide to check your seat belts and determine the
safest position for your child restraint.
Use the gray shaded area on the side of this page to determine the
best position for the child restraint. Hold the page against your vehicle seat (as shown above), with the gray area toward the back of the
seat. Now check to see if the lower seat belt anchorage points are in
line with the gray or the red area of this page.
If the lower seat belt anchorage points are in the gray area, you
can use this position for your child restraint.
If the lower seat belt anchorage points are in the red area, you
should use another position for your child restraint.
NOTE:
Although the seat belt anchorage points fall within the gray
area, a better installation may be achieved by adjusting your child
restraint to a reclining position.

Forward facing vehicle seats MUST be used with this child
restraint. Side facing or rear facing seats in vans, station wagons
or trucks CANNOT be used.
•
Britax and the U.S. Department of Transportation warn that children 12 and under must ride in the rear seats, away from front
air bags. The only exception is if the air bag is off.

WARNING:
NEVER ATTACH A FORWARD FACING TETHER TO A
LOCATION THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY YOUR VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER, OR TO A LOCATION THAT YOU BELIEVE IS
INCORRECT OR NOT STRONG ENOUGH. IF THE TETHER
ANCHOR COMES LOOSE IN A CRASH, THE METAL HOOK CAN
INJURE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
•
Britax recommends that the tether be used at all times. Using
the tether will improve the stability of your child restraint and
reduce the risk of injury.
•
If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact
your vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
•
If a tether anchor is not available, DO NOT modify your vehicle
without advice from your vehicle manufacturer.
•
DO NOT Hook the Versa-Tether to the bottom of a vehicle
seat adjuster!

WARNING:
The position of the vehicle seat
belt buckle can affect the stability of your
child restraint. In an accident, an improperly positioned buckle could come loose
and your child would be unprotected.
If the buckle lies near the position marked
as wrong, ( ) when the vehicle belt is tightened, try fitting your child restraint in another seating position in your vehicle.
If it is not possible to achieve the correct
position ( ) for the buckle, then another
seating position MUST be used.
IMPORTANT:
Check that your child
restraint is secure before each trip.

This child restraint is certified for aircraft use. Most airlines in the
U.S. and Canada will allow you to use a child restraint, if it is
labeled as an approved child restraint for airline use and fits properly on the plane. Contact your airline about their policy prior to
travelling.
•
Use your child restraint only

Any implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, shall be limited to the duration and terms of the express written warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the
