General Information
Harness Mode
• The positioning block must be
rotated to the front when installing
the child seat in harness mode.
• Based on your vehicle’s seat belt
configuration, you may achieve
a more secure installation
using one of two approved
lap-shoulder belt path options
(long or short belt path). If the
first installation method results in
more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) of front-to-back or side-to-side movement
at the belt path, try the other option. See page 24 for information on
selecting a belt path to install this child seat in your vehicle.
• Use this child seat in harness mode with children at least 2 years of
age and 25 – 85 lbs (11.3 – 38.6 kg) who stand 30 – 57 in. (76.2 –
144.8 cm) in height. Britax recommends using harness mode to 85
lbs (38.6 kg). See the Child Seat Fit Recommendations section on
page 6 for information on when your child has outgrown harness mode.
