• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision
is the body of the vehicle itself; a child seat will not protect a
child when a vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly
installed, a child seat will substantially improve chances for
survival in most crashes. Make sure all users fully understand
the correct ways to use this child seat in a vehicle.
• Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower
anchors. Use vehicle seat belt (not lower connectors) for
installations with children who weigh more than the vehicle
lower anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle
manufacturer, assume a 40 lb (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle
lower anchor limit.
• The use of non-Britax Child Safety, Inc., covers, inserts,
toys, accessories, or tightening devices is not approved by
Britax. Their use could cause this child seat not to perform as
intended in a crash.
Important Notes
• Verify that the child seat is securely installed and the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used

minor crash defined by the US National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) as:

* No vehicle occupants were injured; and

a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
