WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:
Infants should remain in a rear-facing child restraint for as
long a possible. The American Academy of Pediatrics and
Britax recommends rear facing until at least 1 year of age
and 20 pounds.
Use only with children who weigh between 5 and 40
pounds (2.3 and 18 kg.) and whose height is 40 inches
(102 cm.) or less. Use rear facing for children 5–35 pounds
(2.3–15.9 kg.) and forward facing to a maximum of 40
pounds (18 kg.).
Adjust the belts provided with this child restraint so they
fit snugly around your child. A snug strap should not
allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without
sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the
child’s body into an unnatural position.
Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child
restraint.
Secure this child restraint with vehicle’s child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the
written instructions.
Register your child restraint with the manufacturer, Britax
Child Safety, Inc.
This child restraint must not be used in the home, in boats,
or other non-certified applications.
To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of a child restraint that is older than six
years or has been in a severe crash. See date of manufacture
located on restraint.
