around your child.

• This child restraint must be secured to the vehicle by means

of a lower connector system if it is installed in a seating

position that is equipped with a lower universal anchorage

seat with premature infants. Premature infants may have

breathing or other medical concerns when transported in a

• Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this infant car seat.

Doing so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and

webbing. Always carry an infant car seat by the handle or shell.

• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a

collision is the structure of the vehicle; an infant car seat

will not protect an infant when the vehicle is seriously

impacted. However, correctly installed, an infant car seat

will substantially improve the chances for survival in most

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:

crashes. Make sure that all users fully understand the

correct ways to use this infant car seat in a vehicle.

• This infant car seat must not be used in shopping carts, boats,

or other non-certified applications.

• NEVER leave child unattended.

• This child seat can only be used in the following classes of

vehicles: multi-purpose vehicles, passenger cars or trucks.

• The use of aftermarket covers, inserts, toys, accessories, or

tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their use could

cause this infant car seat to fail Federal Safety Standards or not

perform as intended in a crash.

• ALWAYS check the back seat upon leaving your vehicle to

prevent leaving a child restrained in the infant car seat alone in

the vehicle.

• Suffocation Hazard: Infant carrier can roll over on soft surfaces

and suffocate child. NEVER place carrier on beds, sofas, or other

• ALWAYS lift infant car seat by handle after installation in base to

verify that it is secure.

• DO NOT leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back

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

moving, potentially causing serious injuries.

• DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a

sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the infant car seat

from protecting the child as well as it should.

• DO NOT use the infant carrier if it is damaged or broken.
