•Follow all instructions on this booster seat and in the written instructions located under the base of the seat. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
•Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
•The booster seat must be used only by persons whose mass is at least 18 kg (40 lbs).

•DO NOT use this booster seat as a backless booster seat unless it is used in a seating position with a vehicle head restraint.
•DO NOT use this booster seat as a backless booster seat unless proper vehicle belt placement can be achieved.

•Based on crash statistics, Britax recommends that parents select the back seat as the safest location for a properly installed child seat. Please study the section on Vehicle Compatibility in this booklet to ensure your child’s safety and consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
•This child seat can only be used in the following classes of vehicles: multi-purpose passenger vehicles, passenger cars or trucks.
•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 moderate or severe crash. See Serial Number and Manufactured Date Label on child seat (Page 13).
•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.

Vehicle Compatibility
WARNING! Based on crash statistics, Britax recommends that parents select the back seat as the safest location for a properly positioned booster seat.
DO NOT place a booster seat on the front seat with an air bag unless it is deactivated. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. See your vehicle owner’s manual for booster seat positioning instructions. The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.
This booster seat must only be used in forward-facing vehicle seats. Side-facing or rear-facing seats CANNOT be used. For questions about positioning the booster seat consult the vehicle owner’s manual.
Some vehicles have no seating positions which are compatible with this booster seat or any other child seat. See diagram below.
Vehicle Compatibility
Vehicle Buckle Position
WARNING! The position of the vehicle seat belt buckle can adversely affect the stability of the booster seat.
If the buckle lies near the incorrect position ( 
) when the vehicle seat belt is tightened, try fitting the booster seat in another seating position OR consult your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you can lower the vehicle buckle position by twisting the vehicle buckle stalk.
If it is not possible to achieve the correct position ( 
) for the buckle, then another seating position or child seat MUST be used.

Vehicle Compatibility
Vehicle Seat Belts
IMPORTANT: Vehicle seats and vehicle seat belts differ from vehicle to vehicle. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for specific information about vehicle seat belts and their use with child seats. This booster seat can fit securely in most vehicles using existing vehicle seat belts. However, some vehicles
do not have seating positions which are compatible with this booster seat or any other child seat. If in doubt, contact the vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
To protect your child in a crash, you must use this booster seat with vehicle seat belts that are compatible. This booster seat can only be used with three-point (shoulder and lap) vehicle seat belts. The vehicle owner’s manual will have information on the types of vehicle seat belts in your vehicle. If your vehicle seat belt type is identified on page 11 as incompatible, select another seating position.

Before you use this booster seat for the first time, you will have to complete the assembly steps below.
Attaching the Backrest
IMPORTANT: Keep fingers away from moving parts to avoid potential injury.
1Detach the elastic loops from the elastic retainers on the base cover from the back of the booster seat base (Fig. A).

Using the Child Seat
SecureGuard™
Britax recommends using SecureGuard to achieve the best vehicle seat belt placement. The SecureGuard™ clip should hold the lap part of the vehicle seat belt in place. The SecureGuard™ clip should be adjusted to keep the lap part of the vehicle seat belt positioned low across your child’s upper thighs (Fig. A). Ensure the bottom edge of the SecureGuard™ clip is level with your child’s upper thighs, however, the clip itself should not press into your child’s upper thighs.
IMPORTANT: The lap part of the vehicle seat belt must not rest on the child’s abdomen.
Adjusting SecureGuard™ Fit
• To Shorten:
1Locate the SecureGuard™ adjuster under the base. See page 13.
