According to accident statistics, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration recommends that parents
select the rear seat as the safest location for a properly
installed child restraint. However, the actual dimensions
of the vehicle seat and the details of the safety belts
used to anchor the child restraint differ from vehicle to
vehicle. Please study the section on Vehicle Seat Belts
in this booklet for the safety assurance of your child. If
in doubt about installing your child restraint, consult
your vehicle owner’s manual.

•
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a
collision is the body of the vehicle itself, and a child
restraint will not protect a child when the vehicle is
seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, this
restraint will substantially improve the chances for sur-
vival in most accidents. Make sure that you fully
understand the correct way to use this child restraint
in your vehicle.
•
DO NOT place any child restraint in the front seat of
a vehicle with a passenger air bag unless the air bag is
turned off. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
The back seat is the safest place for children under 12.
•
Secure this child restraint even when it is not occu-
pied. In a crash, an unsecured child restraint may fly
around and injure vehicle occupants.
•
Britax recommends that all child restraints be installed
in the rear seat.
•
Owners of vehicles with air bags should refer to their
owner’s manual for child restraint installation instruc-
tions.
