25 and 65 lbs (11.3 and 30 kg) and whose height is between
34 and 49 in. (85 and 125 cm) and are at least 2 years of age.
• Booster Mode: Use only with children who weigh between
40 and 120 lbs (18 and 54 kg) and whose height is between
44 and 63 in. (110 and 160 cm).
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint
around your child.
INSTALLATION
• Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child seat.
• 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’s child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
GENERAL USAGE
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
• Britax recommends that the top tether be used at all times
when installing the child seat. Using the top tether will improve
the stability of your child seat and reduce the risk of injury.
• Britax strongly recommends that children should remain in a
child seat with a 5-point harness until reaching the maximum
weight or height allowed.
• Use this child seat forward-facing only.
• This child seat must be used in upright position in booster
mode.
• In a vehicle with rear designated seating positions, vehicle
owners should be alerted that, according to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions. To ensure your
child’s safety, please study Vehicle Seating Positions on page
38 and consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of this child seat when it is older than nine
(9) years or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See
expiration date on Serial Number and Manufactured Date
Label located on the child seat shell. See page 3.
• Always make sure the child restraint system is secured to the
vehicle, even when unoccupied, since in a crash an unsecured
child restraint system may injure occupants. The unoccupied
child seat can be secured to the vehicle by attaching the lower
connectors to the lower anchors in the vehicle, or by fastening
the vehicle seatbelt across the unoccupied child seat.
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions could result
in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.

Important Notes
• Before each use, check this child seat and its components to
make sure they are in good condition and good working order.
• Do not install with the lower anchors for a child weighing more
than 40 lbs (18.1 kg).
• Discontinue use of this child seat if it has been in a moderate
or severe crash. It is not necessary to replace a car seat after a
minor crash dened by the US National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration (NHTSA) as:
a.The vehicle is drivable from the crash site; and
b.The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not
damaged; and
c.No vehicle occupants were injured; and
d.There is no visible damage to the child seat; and
e.The airbags (if present) did not deploy.
• Verify that the child restraint and child restraint belts or straps
do not interfere with the opening and closing of the vehicle
door.
• Consult vehicle user guide to ensure child restraint installation
does not interfere with function of vehicle seats.
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with the child restraint around
your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. You should
not be able to pinch excess.
• Ensure the lower harness (waist) straps are rmly adjusted in a
position so that the child’s pelvic area is secure.
• Ensure the upper harness (shoulder) straps are rmly adjusted
so that the child is secure.
• Never leave child unattended.
• Ensure to remove bulky coats, jackets, and/or bulky sports
equipment before putting the child in the child restraint.
• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Metal parts of child seat could become hot enough to
burn a child.
• Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
• 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.
• The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories, or
tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their use could
cause this child seat to fail Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or not perform as intended in a crash.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a
collision is the body of the vehicle itself; a child seat will
not protect a child when a vehicle is seriously impacted.
However, correctly installed, a child seat will substantially
improve chances for survival in most crashes. Make sure all
users fully understand the correct ways to use this child seat
in a vehicle.
• Grow With You ClickTight Plus - Prevent the Side Impact
Cushions from being punctured. Puncture damage will cause
the cushions not to perform as intended in a crash.
