Safety Information
5
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a
collision is the body of the vehicle itself, and a child
restraint will not protect a child when the vehicle is
seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, this
restraint will substantially improve the chances for survival
in most accidents. Make sure that you fully understand
the correct way to use this child restraint in your vehicle.
• DO NOT place any child restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle with a passenger air bag unless the air bag is
turned off. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The
back seat is the safest place for children under 12.
• Owners of vehicles with air bags should refer to their
owner’s manual for child restraint installation instructions.
• Britax recommends that all child restraints be installed in
the rear seat.
• Install this child restraint only in vehicle seats which face
forward! Do not install this seat on vehicle seats facing
sideways or backwards!
