HIGHPOINT User Guide
• This child seat can only be used in the following classes of vehicles: multi-purpose passenger
vehicles, passenger cars, or trucks�
• 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�
• To prevent injury due to deterioration, discontinue use of a booster seat that is older than
ten (10) years or has been in a severe crash (see”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, defined by NHTSA as:” on page 6)� See expiration date on Serial Number and
Manufactured Date Label located under the base of the seat�
• The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys, accessories, or tightening devices is not approved
by Britax� Their use could cause this booster 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�
Important Notes
• Before each use, check this child restraint and its components to make sure they are in good
condition and good working order�
• Britax strongly recommends that children should remain in a child seat with a 5-point harness
until reaching the maximum weight or height allowed�

Using the Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS)
The Lower Universal Anchorage
System, or LUAS, is a system
available on this child seat that helps
to anchor the booster seat into the
car for added stability and safety
in the event of a crash. The lower
anchor system does not restrain
your child. You must use the lap-
shoulder belt to properly secure
your child.
The gure at right shows typical
locations for lower anchors and tether
anchors in a vehicle. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual to learn if it is
equipped with LUAS, the maximum
weight rating for the lower anchors,
information on the lower anchor
locations, and designated seating
positions available for use with this
child seat.
