and 22 lbs) and whose height is 81.3 cm (32 in.) or less.
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint
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
system 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 the tether strap.
• This child restraint should only be used in a forward-facing
seating position equipped with a vehicle seat belt or lower
universal anchorage system.
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the
written instructions located under the cover along the side of
the child restraint. Keep the instructions for future use.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
• Children have strangled in loose or partially buckled harness
straps. Fully restrain the child even when carrier is used
outside the vehicle.
• Consult your child’s doctor before using this infant car
seat with premature infants. Premature infants may have
breathing or other medical concerns when transported in a
semi-reclined position.
• 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:
3
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
soft surfaces.
• Fall Hazard: Child’s activity can move carrier. NEVER place carrier
on counter tops, tables, or any other elevated surface.
• ALWAYS use harness when child is in infant car seat. Never
leave the occupied infant car seat when straps are loose or
undone. A child can strangle in loose infant car seat straps.
• NEVER use in or on strollers unless approved by Britax.
• 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.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage, do
not use this infant car seat and base if it is older than six
years or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See date of
