• Use only with children who weigh between 40 and 120 lbs (18.1 and 54.4 kg) and whose height is between 38 and 63 inches (96.5 and 160 cm).
• Use only the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt system when restraining the child in this booster seat.
• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle child restraint anchorage system if available, or with a vehicle seat belt.
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written instructions located under the base of the seat.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
• This booster seat is NOT for use with children who weigh less than 40 lbs (18.1 kg).
• Use this booster seat forward-facing only.
• DO NOT use this booster seat as a backless booster seat unless it is used in a seating position with a vehicle head restraint.
• DO NOT use this booster seat as a backless booster seat unless proper vehicle belt placement can be achieved.
• This booster seat must not be used in the home, in boats, or in other non-certified applications.
• Secure this booster seat with a vehicle child restraint anchorage system or a vehicle seat belt even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an unsecured booster seat may injure other occupants.

- Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the rear seat as the safest location for a properly positioned booster seat. Please study the section on Vehicle Compatibility in this booklet to ensure the child's safety. If in doubt about installing this booster seat, consult the vehicle owner's manual.

- DO NOT use any part of this booster seat with other seat cushions or backrests.

- The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories or tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their use could cause this booster seat not to perform as intended.

- To prevent injury due to deterioration, discontinue use of a booster seat that is older than six years or has been in a severe crash.

- The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the structure of the vehicle itself; a booster seat will not protect a child when the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, a booster seat will substantially improve the chances for survival in most crashes. Make sure that all users fully understand the correct ways to use this booster seat in a vehicle.

Important Notes

• The NHTSA and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should remain in a child seat with a 5-point harness until reaching the maximum weight or height allowed.
• Cover the booster seat when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts of the booster seat could become hot enough to burn a child.
• Store the booster seat in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the booster seat.
• 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 booster seat or change the way the vehicle's seat 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 unsecured. In the event of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the booster seat not to perform as intended.
• DO NOT allow children to play with this booster seat.
• DO NOT use anything to raise the booster seat off the vehicle seat. In a crash, this could cause the booster seat not to perform as intended.

WARNING!

Based on crash statistics, the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the back seat as the safest location for a properly positioned booster seat.

DO NOT place a booster seat on the front seat with an air bag unless it is deactivated. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. See your vehicle owner's manual for booster seat positioning instructions. The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.

This booster seat must only be used in forward-facing vehicle seats. Side-facing or rear-facing seats CANNOT be used. For questions about positioning the booster seat consult the vehicle owner's manual.

Some vehicles have no seating positions which are compatible with this booster seat or any other child seat. See diagram below.

Vehicle Buckle Position

WARNING! The position of the vehicle seat belt kle can adversely affect the stability of the booster seat.

If the buckle lies near the incorrect position (✗) when the vehicle seat belt is tightened, try fitting the booster seat in another seating position OR consult your vehicle owner's manual to see if you can lower the vehicle buckle position by twisting the vehicle buckle stalk.

If it is not possible to achieve the correct position (√) for the buckle, then another seating position or child seat MUST be used.

Vehicle Seat Belts

IMPORTANT: Vehicle seats and vehicle seat belts differ from vehicle to vehicle. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for specific information about vehicle seat belts and their use with child seats. This booster seat can fit securely in most vehicles using existing vehicle seat belts. However, some vehicles do not have seating positions which are compatible with this booster seat or any other child seat. If in doubt, contact the vehicle manufacturer for assistance.

To protect your child in a crash, you must use this booster seat with vehicle seat belts that are compatible. This booster seat can only be used with three-point (shoulder and lap) vehicle seat belts. The vehicle owner's manual will have information on the types of vehicle seat belts in your vehicle. If your vehicle seat belt type is identified on page 11 as incompatible, select another seating position.
