DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:
Use only with children who weigh between 18.1 and 54.4 •
kg (40 and 120 lbs) and whose height is between 96.5
and 160 cm (38 and 63 in.).
Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system •
when restraining a child in this booster seat.
Even when unoccupied, secure this child restraint with a •
vehicle belt.
Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the •
written instructions located under the base of the seat.
Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.•
Use this booster seat forward-facing only.•
DO NOT• use this booster seat as a backless booster
unless it is used in a seating position with a vehicle head
restraint.
DO NOT• use this booster seat as a backless booster
unless proper vehicle belt placement can be achieved.
This booster seat must not be used in the home, in •
boats, or in other non-certified applications.
Secure this booster seat with a vehicle seat belt even •
when it is not occupied. In a crash, an unsecured
booster seat may injure vehicle occupants.
This booster seat is not compatible with Lower Universal •
Anchorage Systems (LUAS).
DO NOT• use this booster seat with two-point vehicle
belts (lap belt only or shoulder belt only). Your child
could be seriously injured in the event of a crash.
Based on crash statistics, Britax recommends that •
parents select the rear seat as the safest location for
a properly positioned booster seat. Please study the
section on Vehicle Seat Belts in this booklet to ensure
the child’s safety. If in doubt about installing this booster
seat, consult the vehicle owner’s manual.
DO NOT• use any part of this booster seat with other seat
cushions or backrests.
The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories •
or tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their
use could cause this booster seat not to perform as
intended.
To prevent injury due to deterioration, discontinue use of •
a booster seat that is older than six years or has been in
a severe crash.
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a •
collision is the structure of the vehicle itself; a booster
seat will not protect a child when the vehicle is seriously
impacted. However, correctly installed, a booster seat
will substantially improve the chances for survival in
most crashes. Make sure that all users fully understand
the correct ways to use this booster seat in a vehicle.
