BRITAX Child Safety, Ltd.
• ALWAYS lift infant car seat by handle after installation in
base to verify that it is secure.
• DO NOT use the infant carrier if it is damaged or broken.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage, DO
NOT use this infant car seat and base if it is older than six (6)
years or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See date
of manufacture located on the infant car seat and base.
• 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 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.
