IN CASE OF CRASH
The Infant Carrier and base is installed so that the infant is facing rearwards. This
provides best position in a crash for infants.
This Infant Carrier provides the ability to fit low birth weight or premature babies and has
been tested with a special dummy to verify its capability.
No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash. However,
to ensure that your child gets all the protection designed into the restraint, PLEASE
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY and use only Safe-n-Sound
recommended parts and accessories.
Carefully read all the instructions for installation in this book. If in doubt about the method
of installation, consult Britax childcare or agent or a child restraint fitter or, in New
Zealand, to consult the agent for the vehicle.
If you have purchased this product with ISOFIX compatibility, the base is fitted with
ISOFLEX™connection straps on each side, with an ISOFIX compatible connector and
tension indicators.
If fitted with the ISOFLEX™connectors, the base may also be fitted to a centre position
using the car's seatbelt.
The Infant Carrier is suitable for fitting to a variety of Britax, Steelcraft and BOB Strollers
using one of the adaptor systems. For compatible Strollers refer to www.britax.com.au.
Britax Click & Go™ Adaptor is required for some strollers.
Britax Childcare Pty. Ltd. continues to provide care for your children when travelling in
motor cars with a range of child restraints suitable throughout their childhood.
Regional Road Rules restrict the use of child restraints, like this Infant Carrier, in the
front seat of the car. Check your local Road Rules.
Always store the instruction book in the place provided in the base when the Infant
Carrier is removed.

Remove all packaging from the Infant Carrier. Remove the ISOFIT insertion guides
(page 18, Ref 31) from the supplied location and store safely for further use.
Consult the car owner’s handbook for location of top tether anchorage points.
If there is no child restraint anchor fitting or child restraint anchor point refer to pages 58
to 62 for the installation of the anchor fitting as well as the use of extension straps.
An anchor fitting is required to attach the top tether strap to fully install the Carrier to the

For installing the Base to the car, select a seating position with a child restraint anchor
fitting directly behind the seating position.
ADJUSTING THE BASE ANGLE
A. Place the base and Infant Carrier on vehicle seat
in a seating position where a child restraint anchor
fitting is installed. The Level Indicator Line needs
to be level with the road, (i.e. parallel with the road
surface). Check and adjust the Levelling knob of
the base if necessary.
B. If your car’s seat is contoured then you may need
to adjust the angle of the base so your baby is not
too upright.
The angle may be altered by turning the base
levelling knob located at the rebound bar end
which will cause the levelling foot to extend from
the under side of the base. Levelling Knob

WHAT ARE ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN A VEHICLE?
ISOFIX low anchorages are fixed, standardised anchoring points for securely installing
an ISOFIX compatible child restraint in a vehicle with ISOFIX low anchorages.
It has now become an international standard for vehicles. This anchoring technology
minimises installation mistakes by optimising the protective effect of a solid connection
between vehicle and ISOFIX compatible child restraint.
INSTALLING THE BASE INTO THE CAR
(USING ISOFLEX CONNECTORS IF FITTED)
To prevent damage to vehicle seat it may be necessary
to remove or open a trim covering the ISOFIX low
anchorages.
A. Locate the ISOFIX Low Anchorages in the vehicle
seat bight. The location may be identified by one of
the following symbols, or the anchorage bars may
be visible.
If you cannot locate them, check your vehicle owners manual.
B. If necessary, clip the two insertion guides to the two ISOFIX fastening points of the
vehicle seat (between seat and backrest). Tab must be upwards. Allow the guides to
rise so they hook on to the ISOFIX low anchor bars. The guides are provided to allow
easier alignment of the child restraint. The guides are not required where anchors
are visible or there are already guides provided in the vehicle seat.

The Top tether strap must be fitted at all times when the baby is in the car when
using either the seatbelt or the ISOFLEX connectors.
Always secure the loose end of the top tether strap to prevent it hanging out of the
car or being accessible by the child.
THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WHERE THE TOP TETHER
STRAP MAY FALL INTO A SPLIT IN THE SEAT BACK OR OFF THE SIDE OF THE
SEAT.
Always ensure that the car seatbelt and top tether strap are firmly restraining the
restraint on the vehicle seat.

FOR LOW BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES
The Infant Carrier is supplied with harness setup to suit an average birth weight, new
born infant (approx 3.4kg). However, if your child is low birth weight or premature then
you may need to reposition the harness to the "smaller infant" position, as follows:
Move the crotch strap to the inner slot (see page 37) the lap straps to the inner
slots (see page 36) and the shoulder strap to the inner slot see page 38. This
will provide better support for smaller babies.

following Setting Up The Harness, see page 39.
For low birth weight or premature babies with breathing difficulties or medical concerns,
we recommend you seek medical advice before travelling.
