INSTALLATION
GENERAL USAGE
Table of Contents
• Always make sure the child restraint system is secured to the vehicle, even when unoccupied,
since in a crash an unsecured child restraint system may injure occupants. The unoccupied
child seat can be secured to the vehicle by attaching the lower connectors to the lower
anchors in the vehicle, or by fastening the vehicle seatbelt across the unoccupied child seat.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration, discontinue use of a booster seat that is older than ten
(10) years or has been in a severe crash (see page 6). See expiration date on Serial Number
and Manufactured Date Label located under the base cover.
• 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 in a crash.
• 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.
Important Notes
• Before each use, check this child restraint and its components to make sure they are in good
condition and good working order.
• Discontinue use of this child seat if it has been in a moderate or severe crash. It is not
necessary to replace a car seat after a minor crash, defined by NHTSA as:
a. The vehicle is drivable from the crash site; and
b. The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not damaged; and
c. No vehicle occupants were injured; and
d. There is no visible damage to the child seat; and
e. The airbags (if present) did not deploy.
• Verify that the child restraint and child restraint belts or straps do not interfere with the opening
and closing of the vehicle door.
