This product and its components are subject to change without notice.

Printed in U.S.A. P231400 R5:10.07

Use only in a rear facing position when using this restraint in the

vehicle. This infant restraint cannot be used forward facing in a

vehicle.

Use only with children who weigh between 4 and 22 pounds (2 and

10 kg) and whose height is 30 inches (76 cm) or less.

Snugly adjust the belts provided with this restraint 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.

An optional Low Birth Weight Foam insert may be used to help

obtain a snug fit for infants whose weight is less than 7 pounds (3

kg.). To order optional foam, call Britax at 1-888-4BRITAX.

Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint LATCH

anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.

Follow all instructions labeled on the child restraint and in these

written instructions.

According to accident statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration recommends that parents select the rear seat as the

safest location for a properly installed child restraint. Please study

the sections on Vehicle Safety Belts and Vehicle Seating Positions in

this booklet to ensure the child’s safety. If in doubt about installing

the child restraint, consult the vehicle owner’s manual.

Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a crash,

an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.

Consult your child’s doctor before using this child restraint. Some

infants must be secured with a device that allows them to lie

flat.

•

NEVER use a rear-facing infant carrier in a seating position with an

air bag. Death or serious injury can occur.

Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing

so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing.

Always carry a child restraint by the handle or shell.

The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the

structure of the vehicle; a child restraint will not protect an infant

when the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed,

a child restraint will substantially improve the chances for survival in

most crashes. Make sure that all users fully understand the correct

ways to use this child restraint in a vehicle.

This child restraint must not be used in boats, or other non-certified

applications.

NEVER leave child unattended.

NEVER place carrier on beds, sofas, or other soft surfaces. Infant

carrier can roll over on soft surfaces and suffocate the child.

NEVER use in or on strollers unless approved by Britax.

NEVER install forward facing in a vehicle.

NEVER place carrier near edges of counter tops, tables, or other

elevated surfaces. Child’s movement can slide carrier.

NEVER leave child carrier when straps are loose or undone. Child

can strangle in loose restraint straps.

DO NOT use infant carrier in shopping carts.

Watch your child closely when restraint is not installed in a vehicle

to avoid tipping over and strangulation.

Harness must be used at all times when child is in carrier.

Safety Information

IMPORTANT NOTES

Your infant carrier has been assembled for children weighing less

than 11 lbs. If/When your child weighs 11 lbs. or more, re-route the

buckle strap position as indicated on pages 10-11 and on the label

affixed to the restraint shell.

Adjust harness to ﬁt clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky

coats and/or jackets before putting child in restraint.

Because of the side impact crash protection it provides, Britax

strongly recommends the infant carrier be used with the head pad.

Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is properly

adjusted around the child each time the child restraint is used.

Cover the restraint when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts

of the child restraint could become hot enough to burn the child.

Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used for

an extended period of time. Do not place heavy objects on top of it.

Stop use of a child restraint that is older than six years or has been in a

severe crash to prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage.

Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.

Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble

any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or the

vehicle belts are used.

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 child restraint from

protecting the child as well as it should.

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint.

Do not hang accessories or toys from handle. Doing so could create

a hazard for the child.
