Safety Information
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:
• 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 striking passengers and causing serious injuries.
• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unsecured. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child seat not to
perform as intended.
• Prevent the Side Impact Cushions from being punctured. Puncture
damage will cause the cushions not to perform as intended in a
crash.
• Harness mode: use only with children who weigh between 25
and 85 lbs (11.3 and 38.6 kg) and whose height is between 30
and 57 in. (76.2 and 144.8 cm) and are at least 2 years of age.
• Booster mode: use only with children who weigh between 40
and 120 lbs (18.1 and 54.4 kg) and whose height is between
42 and 65 in. (106.7 and 165.1 cm).
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around
your child.
• Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child seat.
• Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system when
Important Notes
restraining the child in this booster seat.
• Verify that the child seat is securely installed and that the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove
bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child in the child seat.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble
any part of the child seat or change the way the harness or vehicle’s
seat belts are used.
• Do not use anything to raise the child seat off of the vehicle seat. In a
crash, this could cause the child seat not to perform as intended.
• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions located in the pocket behind the cover of the child
seat.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
• For harness mode refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or
contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight
rating for the LATCH anchors in your vehicle. Use the vehicle
belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children
who weigh more than the vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless
specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40
pound (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.
Certification
This child seat system conforms to all applicable Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards.
• Use this child seat forward-facing only.
This Restraint is Certified for Use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft
when Used in Harness Mode.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
• This child seat must not be used in the home, in boats, or other
non-certified applications.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of this child seat when it is older than nine
years or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See date of
manufacture and expiration date located on child seat shell.
See page 5.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision
is the body of the vehicle itself. A child seat may not protect a
child when the vehicle is seriously impacted. However when
correctly installed, a child seat will substantially improve the
chances for survival in most crashes.
This Restraint is Not Certified for Use in Aircraft when
Used in Booster Mode.
Belt positioning booster seats require lap-shoulder belt
installation not available in aircraft.
Follow lap-belt installation instructions found on page
29, to install this child seat in aircraft.
NOTE: The Versa-Tether cannot be used in
aircraft.
Install your child seat in a window seat to avoid
blocking the aisle.
If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask the flight
attendant for a belt extender.
• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child seat can become hot enough to
burn a child.
WARNING! Inflatable lap belts
are NOT compatible with this child seat.
• Secure this child seat even when it is not occupied. In a crash,
an unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.

a lap-shoulder belt with either a short belt path or a long belt path
installation method.
The following may help with selecting which belt path to try first:
Lap-Shoulder Belt – Short Path

* Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine what type
of vehicle belt you have and how it can be locked for use with
child seats. If your vehicle belt does not lock, a locking clip must
be used. Call Britax Consumer Services at 1(888)427-4829 to

Tips and Troubleshooting
TIP: When installing the child seat

• Pull the vehicle buckle stalk
or LATCH connectors into the
belt slot to properly align it into

Troubleshooting
Problem: The harness is hard to adjust.
Tips
Possible Solution: Check that the harness slots in the head
restraint and harness adjuster are properly aligned. Do not use the
head restraint adjuster when the harness is attached.
Possible Solution: The yoke may be caught on a strap or other
component of the child seat. Remove the obstruction and try
adjusting the harness again.
TIP: If you’re having difficulty
attaining a tight installation in
harness mode using the short belt
route, try reclining the vehicle seat
back during installation. Once the
installation process is complete,
return the vehicle seat back to the
most upright position possible. See
Problem: The adjuster strap is fraying at the sides:
Possible Solution: Pull the harness adjuster strap away from the
child seat (parallel to the ground) to tighten. Do not pull sideways.
Doing so may cause the harness adjuster strap to fray at the sides.
See page 39.
A
Figure A.
NOTE: This tip will only be helpful if your vehicle seat back is able to
recline. See page 12 for important information on choosing a vehicle
seating position. The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and
under.
Problem: The buckle will not fasten with a click after each tongue
is inserted.
Possible solution: There may be debris in the buckle mechanism.
Clean the buckle as shown on page 46 and try fastening the
buckle again.
If you have misplaced your head restraint lock-out screw, you
can purchase a replacement #8 x ½” sheet metal screw at any
hardware store.
