DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:
•
Harness mode: use only with children who weigh between 11.4
and 29.5 kg (25 and 65 lbs) and whose height is between 76.2
and 144.8 cm (30 and 57 in.) and are at least 2 years of age.
•
Booster mode: use only with children who weigh between 18.2
and 54.5 kg (40 and 120 lbs) and whose height is between 106.7
and 165.1 cm (42 and 65 in.).

Use this child seat forward-facing only.
•
The positioning block must be rotated to the front of the child seat
when used in harness mode.
•
The positioning block must be rotated to the rear of the child seat
when used in booster mode.

Adjust the belts provided with this child seat 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 tether strap provided with this child seat.
•
Even when unoccupied, the booster seat must be secured to
the vehicle by means of a lower connector system (LCS) if the
booster seat is installed in a seating position that is equipped
with a lower universal anchorage system (LUAS) or by means
of a vehicle seat belt if it is installed in a seating position that is
not equipped with a lower universal anchorage system and if
equipped with a tether strap, by means of a tether strap.
•
Follow all instructions on the child seat labels and in this user
guide.
•
Register your child seat with the manufacturer, Britax Child Safety,
Inc. by visiting www.Britax.ca/registration, OR complete and return
the registration card that was shipped with this child seat.
•
HUGS™ chest pads must be used in forward-facing mode.
•
In booster mode, use only the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt
2
system when restraining the child in this booster seat.
•
To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of this child seat when it is older than nine
years or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See date of
manufacture and expiration date located on child seat shell. See
page 6.
•
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in a vehicle's rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
•
The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories, or
tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their use could
cause this child seat to fail Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or not perform as intended in a crash.
•
When using in a vehicle with airbags, refer to your vehicle owners
manual for child seat installation instructions and precautions.
•
Never use the harness or adjuster strap to lift or carry this child
seat. Doing so could damage the harness adjuster and webbing.
Always carry this child seat by the shell or tether straps. The
primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the
body of the vehicle itself; a child seat may not protect a child
when the vehicle is seriously im pact ed. However, correctly
installed, a child seat will substantially improve the chances for
survival in most crashes.
•
For harness mode refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact
the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for the
LUAS anchors in your vehicle. Use the vehicle seat belt (not LCS
connectors) for installations with children who weigh more than
the vehicle LUAS anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the
vehicle manufacturer, assume a 18.2 kg (40 pound) child is the
vehicle LUAS anchor limit.
