To be used only in a rearward-facing position until the infants's shoulders either reach the lower shoulder
height marker (approximately 12 months of age) or reach the middle height marker (approximately 2 to
3 years of age). Then to be used in a forward-facing position until the child's 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 who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child restraint with an in-built harness or a

booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the restraint.

INTRODUCTION

These instructions cover various configurations of this model. To determine if the feature is available on
your child restraint refer to packaging. ISOFIX compatible connection is not available on all models.

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 Britax Safe-n-Sound recommended parts and accessories.

A child should not use this restraint in the forward facing mode until their neck muscles are able to support
their head. However Britax recommends that you keep your child in a rearward facing restraint for as long
as possible or until the appropriate shoulder height marker is reached.

Carefully read all the instructions for installation in this book. If in doubt about the method of installation,
consult Britax Childcare or agent, or a child restraint fitter or, in New Zealand, to consult the agent for the
vehicle.

To be used with a lap-sash or lap only seatbelt or ISOFIX low anchorages (if fitted) in the back of most cars
with forward facing seats.

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

Note: These instructions show the adjustable headrest with side wings, these instructions are also
applicable to restraints with adjustable headrests without side wings.

Always store the instruction book in the pocket provided and tuck pocket under trim cover.

WHAT ARE ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN A VEHICLE?

If you purchased a model which is ISOFIX Compatible there will be straps fitted to each side of the lower
part of the seat and stored at the upper side of the seat. Refer to page 24.

ISOFIX low anchorages are fixed, standardised anchoring points for securely installing an ISOFIX
compatible child restraint in a vehicle with ISOFIX low anchorages. They are an alternative method of
installing the child restraint without using car's seatbelt.
It has now become an international standard for vehicles. This anchoring technology minimises installation
mistakes by optimising the protective effect of the connection between vehicle and ISOFIX compatible child
restraint.

THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING SEATS.

• Do not attach the lower attachment connectors of two separate child restraints to the same
ISOFIX low anchorages in your car.

• Always attach the top tether strap to the child restraint upper anchorage in your car before each
journey.

• Child restraint lower attachment connectors and the ISOFIX low anchorages in your car are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by a correctly fitted child restraint.

GENERAL

• Regularly check the restraint components, straps and other fitments for correct function and condition. If
faulty, cease using and seek repair by Britax.

• IF AN AIRBAG IS FITTED IN THE SEATING POSITION WHERE THE CHILD RESTRAINT IS TO BE
FITTED, FOLLOW THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

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

• THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WHERE THE TOP TETHER STRAP MAY FALL INTO
A SPLIT IN THE SEAT BACK OR OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEAT.

• Seatbelt extenders are not recommended to be used if the seatbelt is not long enough to secure the
child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then seek advice from a child restraint fitter and consider their
recommendations before using a seatbelt extender. If you use a seatbelt extender then ensure that the
seatbelt buckle does not enter the rearward or forward facing belt paths.

• THIS RESTRAINT MUST BE ATTACHED TO A CHILD RESTRAINT UPPER ANCHORAGE POINT
IN THE CAR. REFER TO CAR OWNER'S HANDBOOK FOR LOCATION OF UPPER ANCHORAGE

INSTALLATION METHOD

If you have purchased a restraint with ISOFIX lower anchorage straps then the restraint may be installed
by either the ISOFIX low anchorages or the seatbelt. If there are no ISOFIX low anchorages straps then
the restraint can only be fitted with the seatbelt.

Consult the car owner’s handbook for location of top tether anchorage points.
If there is no child restraint anchor fitting or child restraint anchor point refer to pages 83 to 86 for the

installation of the anchor fitting as well as the use of extension straps.

Continue to use this child restraint in this rear facing mode
until the child's shoulders reach the limit of the lower or middle
shoulder height marker before turning the seat to face forward. A
younger child's neck muscles may be unable to support their head
thus the child 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 sufficient. If you have the
restraint check it fits in your car. The length may be longer when the headrest is raised when rear facing.

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.

DO NOT USE RESTRAINT IN REARWARD FACING MODE
WITHOUT STABILISING BAR FULLY EXTENDED.

Do not use the restraint without the top tether strap correctly
attached.

DO NOT USE A REAR FACING CHILD RESTRAINT WHERE AN
AIRBAG IS FITTED IN FRONT OF THE SEATING POSITION.

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

Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car in the sun because of the risk of heat exhaustion.
Ensure babies and toddlers have adequate ventilation and are shaded from direct sunlight through side or
rear windows.

Do not allow the front seat to alter

the installed angle of the restraint. It

is permissible to allow the restraint to

touch the front vehicle seat.

CHILD RESTRAINT UPPER ANCHORAGE FITTING

To use this child restraint, the car will need a child restraint upper anchorage fitting in the seating position
that you intend to use. Refer to the car owner's handbook.

The upper anchorage fitting is required for attaching the top tether in both rear facing mode and forward
facing mode covered later in the these instructions.

If no upper anchorage fitting is provided then you will need to install an upper anchorage fitting. Refer to
