Use only with children whose height is between 43 and 53
inches (109 and 135 cm).
•
Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system when
restraining the child in this seat.
•
Secure this child restraint with a vehicle belt.
•
Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions.
•
Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
•
Use restraint forward facing only!
• This child restraint must not be used in the home, in boats, or
other non-certified applications.
•
Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a
crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
•
This booster seat is not compatible with vehicle child restraint
anchorage systems (LATCH).
•
Do not use this booster with two-point vehicle belts (lap belt only
or shoulder belt only). Your child would be seriously injured in the
event of a crash.
•
Based on crash 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 to
ensure the child’s safety. If in doubt about installing the child
restraint, consult the vehicle owner’s manual.
•
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is
the structure 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 crashes. Make sure that all users fully
understand the correct ways to use this child restraint in a vehicle.
•
Starriser Comfy users must only use the backrest when properly
attached to the booster base.
•
The backrest must be properly installed, in Starriser Comfy
configuration, for use in vehicle seats that do not provide adequate
rear head support.
•
Do not, except as described in this book, attempt to disassemble
or modify any part of the booster seat or vehicle belts.
•
Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a
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 restraint from
protecting the child as well as it should.
•
Do not use anything to raise the booster seat off the vehicle seat.
•
Do not allow children to play with this booster seat.
•
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.

Important Notes
•
Children who weigh 40 pounds (18 kg) or less are best protected
in a restraint with a 5-point harness. Britax recommends that
children should remain in a restraint with a 5-point harness until
reaching the maximum weight or height allowed.
•
Set a good example by always wearing your seat belt. Make it a
firm rule that the vehicle does not move until everyone is
buckled up. Make no exceptions for adults or children.
•
Cover the booster with a towel or blanket when the vehicle is
parked in direct sunlight. Parts of the booster seat could become
hot enough to burn the child.
•
Store the booster seat in a safe place when not in use. Do not place
heavy objects on top of the booster while in storage.
•
To prevent injury due to deterioration, hidden damage, lost
instructions, outdated technology, etc., discontinue use of a
booster seat that is older than six years or has been in a severe
crash.
Height Range: 43-53 inches (109-135 cm)
Maximum Height:
Child is too tall when top of ears

DO NOT place a 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.
