Britax advise that child car seats should not be
bought or sold second-hand. Please dispose of
your child seat safely. Do not sell or pass it on.
IMPORTANT – The cover is a safety feature.
NEVER use the child seat without it. Don’t put
your child’s safety at risk by using other makes of
replacement cover, they could stop the child seat
from protecting your child as well as it should.
DO NOT use the child seat on
a passenger seat fitted with an
active front airbag unless your
vehicle manufacturer confirms that it is safe.
DO NOT use the child seat on side or rearward
facing vehicle seats.
DO NOT use anything, such as a cushion or coat,
to raise the child seat off the passenger seat. In
an accident the child seat and your car seat belts
would not be able to protect your child as well as
they should.

correctly restrained.
DO Watch over your baby when using the rocking
feature. At all other times make sure the handle is
in the stable position to prevent rocking.

travel system, that it is securely attached to the
travel system chassis before setting off.
DO use the safety harness provided with the child
seat at all times.
DO make sure the handle is upright and latched
properly before carrying your baby in the child seat.
After an accident, the child seat and your car seat
belts should be replaced. Although they may look
undamaged, if you were to have another accident
the child seat and your car seat belts may not be
able to protect your child as well as they should.
A replacement cover is available from your Britax
stockist or contact Britax Customer Service
Department on 01264 386034.

(see overleaf). Then unfasten the elastics on each
side of the cover (if applicable slide the shoulder
pads off the harness and remove the head

Belt restraint systems cannot be designed to be
completely “child proof” and yet comply with the
legal requirements of European Standard ECE R44.

been designed for home use and should only be
used in your car.

Looking after your
child seat
A
DO NOT attempt to dismantle, modify or add to
any part of the child seat or change the way its
harness or your car seat belts are made or used.
DO NOT leave children alone in your car, even for
a short time.
DO NOT leave loose objects, such as luggage
or books, in the back of your car. They must be
properly secured.
DO NOT leave folding passenger seats unlatched.
If you have to stop your car suddenly a loose seat
back could injure your child.
Gently pull the cover off from the top of the seat,
easing the harness buckle and adjuster strap
through the slots in the cover.
Food and drink may
find their way inside the
buckle of the harness.
This can stop it from
working properly – it
will not click. Wash in
warm water until clean
(dia A).
