NOTE: The information in this section only
applies to installation with vehicle seat
belts.
IMPORTANT: Some vehicles have no seating
positions which are compatible with this
restraint, or any other restraint. If in
doubt, contact your vehicle manufacturer
for assistance.
The following types of vehicle seat belts are
not compatible with this restraint:
Front vehicle belts with top or bottom
anchorage points in the door.
Motor driven automatic vehicle belts.
Three-point belts that have separate
retractors for the shoulder section and
the lap section.
Non-locking (ELR) vehicle belts.
The owner's manual for your vehicle will have information on the types
of vehicle belts in your vehicle. If your belt type is listed above, select
another seating position or use LATCH connectors.
This restraint can fit securely in most vehicles using the existing vehicle
belts. However, some types of vehicle designs prevent a secure fit of the
restraint due to the position of the vehicle belt lower anchorage points.
WARNING:
• Forward facing vehicle seats MUST be used with this restraint. Side
facing or rear facing seats in vans, station wagons or trucks
CANNOT be used.
• Britax
®
and the U.S. Department of Transportation warn that
children 12 and under must ride in the rear seats, away from front
air bags. The only exception is if the air bag has been turned off.
