Instructions for Installation & Use

INTRODUCTION
The Baby Capsule and base is installed so that the infant is facing rearwards. This
provides best position in a crash for infants.
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.
Regional Road Rules restrict the use of child restraints, like this Baby Capsule, 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 Baby
Capsule is removed.
The Baby Capsule 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.

installation angle is affected.
Do not recline the seat excessively, it must be
installed at the correct angle (see page 21 - 22).
Do not use on any vehicle seat which faces
sideways or rearwards.
Do not allow the front seat to alter the installed
position of the restraint, It is permissible to allow

ADJUSTMENT OF HANDLE POSITION
The Baby Capsule features a sturdy carry handle which can be used in conjunction with
the curved base to convert it to a rocker. At the base of the handle there are two large
buttons which control the three positions of the handle. These positions are the "carry (or
travel) position" , the "rocking position" , and the "non-rocking position" .
B. Ensure the handle is locked in position securely.
The "rocking position" enables the Baby
Capsule to rock without the possibility of the Baby
Capsule tipping over.
C. To convert to a "non-rocking" position depress
both buttons and rotate the handle to the fixed
position. Ensure the handle is locked in position
securely.
A. To convert from carry to "rocking position" ,
depress the large buttons on each side and rotate
the handle towards the front of the Baby Capsule.
When you have started rotating the handle release
the buttons and continue rotating the handle round
until it locks into position.
