Important Notes
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of this child seat if it is older than ten (10)
years or has been in a moderate or severe crash (see
below). See Serial Number and Manufactured Date Label
on child seat (pages 4 - 5).
• The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories,
or tightening devices is not approved by Britax. Their use
could cause this child seat not to 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.
• 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:
ADVOCATE ONLY: 13.6 kg (30 lbs) rear facing or 15.8 kg (35 lbs)
forward facing.
BOULEVARD ONLY: 15.8 kg (35 lbs) rear facing or 18 kg (40 lbs)
forward facing.
• Do not use the top tether strap with rear-facing installations.
• Ensure the car seat cover is properly secured prior to each use.
• Ensure that the seat pan cover is properly secured behind
the CLICKTIGHT bar to allow for proper functioning of the
CLICKTIGHT mechanism (see page 37).
• 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.
• 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.
• Never use the harness adjuster strap to lift or carry this child
seat. Doing so could cause damage to harness adjuster and
webbing. Always carry this child seat by its shell or tether
straps.

• Use rear-facing for children who weigh between 2.3 and
18 kg (5 and 40 lbs) and whose height is 124.5 cm (49
in.) or less. Use forward-facing for children who weigh
between 10 and 29.4 kg (22 and 65 lbs) and whose

unassisted.
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint
around your child.
INSTALLATION
• Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child
restraint.
• This child restraint system must be used only in a forward-
facing vehicle seating position equipped with a vehicle
seat belt or a lower universal anchorage system (LUAS).
• Do not use this seat in a position where the recline
indicator ball is outside of the allowable range for the
chosen installation method (see 28).
• This seat must not be used in a position other than
upright for forward-facing lap-shoulder belt and lap belt
installations
• Use the buckle slot closest to, but not underneath, your
child when installing the child seat.
GENERAL USE
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the
written instructions.
• Britax strongly recommends that children should remain
in a child seat with a 5-point harness until reaching the
maximum weight or height allowed.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
• This child seat can only be used in the following classes
of vehicles: multi-purpose passenger vehicles, passenger
cars, or trucks.
• 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 34 and consult
your vehicle owner’s manual.
• 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.

Click & Safe Snug Harness Indicator
(Select Models)
IMPORTANT: See pages 22-23 for detailed instructions on
securing your child.
The Click & Safe is designed to sense tension when the
adjuster strap is pulled and will provide an audible indication
when the child seat harness is within range of appropriate
snugness. The harness should have a comfortable but snug
t around the child. A snug strap should not allow any slack.
It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not
press on the child’s esh or push the child’s body into an
unnatural position. You should not be able to pinch excess
webbing at the shoulder. Follow the steps below to tighten
the harness.
To tighten the harness:
1. Remove any bulky
clothing or sports
equipment from your
child before tightening
the harness.
2. Check for proper harness
height.
3. Pull any excess slack
in the harness up to the
child’s shoulder area.
4. Pull the harness adjuster strap straight out from the
child seat until a click is heard. The Click & Safe
indicator will click when the harness is within range
of appropriate snugness.
NOTE: If there is still slack in the harness, repeat
the steps above until another click indicates a snug
harness. It may be necessary to double check that
the harness is within range of appropriate snugness.
Always confirm a snug fit by attempting to pinch
excess webbing at the shoulders.
9Check that the harness is buckled and secure.
9Check that the harness is snug and you cannot pinch
excess webbing at the shoulder.

In some cases, the vehicle head
restraint can prevent the child seat
head restraint from being raised
high enough to properly adjust the
harness for the fit of your child when
using a forward-facing reclined
position. DO NOT force the child
seat head restraint past the vehicle
head restraint. Doing so could cause the child seat not to
perform as intended. If the location of the vehicle head
restraint interferes with the child seat head restraint,
raise, or remove the vehicle head restraint. If the vehicle
head restraint cannot be removed, move the child seat to
the upright position or try a dierent seating location.
Overhang
Uninstalling the Seat
It is important that the
base of the child seat
rests completely at on
the vehicle seat with no
side overhang. As seen
in the illustration, it is
permissible to allow up to
7.5 cm (3 in.) of the base
to hang over the front
edge of the vehicle seat.
If the vehicle seat does
not allow enough of the
child seat base to make contact, adjust the recline angle to
a more upright position. Not doing so could cause the child
seat to not perform as intended.
IMPORTANT: Car seat base MUST be flat on vehicle seat and
MUST be parallel to vehicle seat.
1. Unbuckle the vehicle seat
belt.
NOTE: For car seats
installed with lower
connectors, see pages
31-32.
2. Open the CLICKTIGHT.
