INTRODUCTION
To be used only in a rearward-facing position until the infant’s shoulders reach the lower shoulder height marker
(approximately 12 months of age). Then to be used in a forward-facing position until the child’s shoulders reach
the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).
Continue to use this child restraint until the child reaches this limit.
Do not use forward facing until child’s shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.
Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early.
Children are at risk of serious injury if they move to booster seats too early.
Children who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child restraint with an in-built harness or a
booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the restraint.

that your child gets all the protection designed into the restraint PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY and use only Britax Safe-n-Sound recommended parts and accessories.
The child should not sit in this restraint in the forward facing mode until their neck muscles are able to
support their head however Britax recommends that you keep your child in a rearward facing restraint for
as long as possible or until the lower shoulder height marker is reached (approximately 12 months).

• TO BE USED WITH LAP-SASH OR LAP ONLY SEATBELT IN THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING
SEATS.
• This child restraint is not approved for use with any connectors that connect to the car's ISOFIX low
anchorages.
• Regularly check the restraint components, straps and other fitments for correct function and condition. If
faulty, cease using and seek repair by Britax.
• IF AN AIRBAG IS FITTED IN THE SEATING POSITION WHERE THE CHILD RESTRAINT IS TO BE FITTED, FOLLOW
THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
• Protect all webbing from abrasion and cutting by sharp corners and edges.

SUITABLE FOR USE
DO NOT USE RESTRAINT IN REARWARD FACING MODE WITHOUT
STABILISING BAR FULLY EXTENDED.
Do not use the restraint without the top tether strap correctly attached
to the vehicle anchorage.
DO NOT USE A REAR FACING CHILD RESTRAINT WHERE AN AIRBAG IS
FITTED IN FRONT OF THE SEATING POSITION.
If an airbag is fitted in the desired seating position where the child restraint
is fitted, follow the vehicle manufacturer's warnings and instructions. Do
not use on any vehicle seat which faces sideways or rearwards.
Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car in the sun because of the risk of heat exhaustion.
Ensure babies and toddlers have adequate ventilation and are shaded from direct sunlight through side or rear
windows.
Do not allow the front seat to
alter the installed angle of the
restraint. It is permissible to
allow the restraint to touch the
front vehicle seat.
CHILD RESTRAINT UPPER ANCHORAGE FITTING
To use this child restraint, the car will need a child restraint upper anchorage fitting in the seating position that
you intend to use. Refer to the car owner's handbook.
The upper anchorage fitting is required for attaching the top tether in both rear facing mode and forward facing
mode covered later in the these instructions.
If no upper anchorage fitting is provided then you will need to install an upper anchorage fitting. Refer to pages
62 to 65.
BABY USE REARWARD FACING
Continue to use this child restraint in this rear facing mode until the child's shoulders reach the limit of the
lower or middle shoulder height marker before turning the seat to face forward. A younger child's neck muscles
may be unable to support their head thus the child should remain rear facing until the neck muscles become
stronger.
To ensure that the space is sufficient the purchaser should check the
measurement between the seat back of the rear seat and all front seats in
the car in which the child restraint is intended to be used. The length may
be longer when the headrest is raised in rear facing mode.
Regional Road Rules may prohibit the use of a restraint in the front
seat until the child is 4 years of age. Check your Regional Road Rules for
exemptions.
