INTRODUCTION
The Infant Carrier 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 Infant Carrier, 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 Infant
Carrier is removed.
The Infant Carrier 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.

Consult the car owner’s handbook for location of top tether anchorage points.
If there is no child restraint anchor fitting or child restraint anchor point refer to pages 49
to 53 for the installation of the anchor fitting as well as the use of extension straps.
An anchor fitting is required to attach the top tether strap to fully install the Carrier to the
car. The top tether strap must be used with this infant carrier when used in the car.
For installing the Base to the car, select a seating position with a child restraint anchor
fitting directly behind the seating position.
ADJUSTING THE BASE ANGLE
A. Place the base and Infant Carrier on vehicle seat
in a seating position where a child restraint anchor
fitting is installed. The Level Indicator Line should
be level with the road, (i.e. parallel with the road
surface). Check and adjust the Levelling knob of
the base if necessary.
B. If your car’s seat is contoured then you may need
to adjust the angle of the base so your baby is not
too upright.
The angle may be altered by turning the base
levelling knob located at the rebound bar end
which will cause the levelling foot to extend from
the underside of the base.

HOW TO USE
C. Place baby into Infant Carrier lying on its back so that the
buckle is between the baby’s legs. Ensure that baby’s arms
and legs are free. Make sure baby is dressed to allow the
Harness Buckle to be pulled up between baby’s legs e.g.
a jump suit.
NOTE:
1. Discontinue using the Padded Insert when shoulder straps
are in the top slots or if the Pad causes over heating,
discomfort or you need more room for baby to grow.
2. Correct fitment of the harness is very important as it
restrains the baby in the Infant Carrier. The harness must
fit firmly around upper torso of the baby and be positioned
to leave the baby’s arms and legs free.
CAUTION:
Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled as this increases the risk
of ejection and injury or death in a crash. The harness needs to fit firmly to the baby,
any blanket or other covering may be placed over the harness after the harness is
adjusted. Arms and legs must be free and not bound. The legs must sit on each side
of the crotch strap.

TRAVELLING TIPS
SAFETY
Never hold a baby in arms when riding in a motor vehicle. In this position the baby could
be thrown against the dashboard, windscreen or other occupant and suffer serious injury
or death.
When riding in a motor vehicle never nurse a baby and use the same seat belt for both
of you. In this position the baby or child could be crushed.
Never breast feed a baby while car is in motion.
Children must be secured in appropriate restraints at all times when the car is in motion.
Children travelling unrestrained and standing up in the car are in danger of serious injury
or death. Traffic regulations in all states require children to be secured in child restraints
or adult seat belts where available.
Plan your trip with frequent comfort stops to reduce stress on babies, young children and
driver. Keep the car well ventilated to reduce heat stress. Car windows should be kept
open to maintain a good flow of fresh air.
Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car because of the risk of heat exhaustion.
Ensure babies and toddlers are adequately shaded from direct sunlight through side or
rear windows.
Check the car is ventilated by use of open windows or using the car's ventilation system
taking in external air. Recirculation setting is not suitable for providing ventilation.
Be on guard against carbon monoxide poisoning which can occur through only a slight
leak in the exhaust system while travelling in a closed car.
Securely stow all heavy objects, feeding bottles, etc. that could become missiles during
an accident and cause injury to any occupant.
CLOTHING/BATHING
Since it is often warmer in the car, dress the baby in light clothing.
Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled. Any blanket or wrap must
only be placed over the harness and infant.

IN CASE OF CRASH
If your restraint has been involved in a severe crash, you should destroy the restraint
even if no damage is obvious. Some insurance companies offer vehicle insurance which
covers or partially covers the replacement of your child restraint. Contact your insurance
company for further details. Your insurance company may require you to keep the child
restraint for assessment, but do not use the child restraint after a severe crash. To assist
you in making an accident insurance claim cut the following statement and include it with
your claim.
NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANY CHILD
RESTRAINT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT
This Safe-n-Sound child restraint is manufactured to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/
NZS1754-2013 which requires us to advise users of child restraints to "Destroy the entire
restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even if no damage is obvious". The joint
Australian/New Zealand Standards committee CS/85, advise that this statement applies
whether a child was in the child restraint or not. We consider a "severe crash" as being one
where the main body structure of the vehicle is distorted.
There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged and we concur with the
Australian/New Zealand Standards in recommending destruction of the child restraint.
This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand Standards and
our obligation in complying with the standards.
Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.

IN CASE OF CRASH
CRASH EXCHANGE
We would never want you to experience an accident, but unfortunately accidents do
happen.
If you experience an accident you may be eligible for a free replacement.
The Safe-n-Sound Crash Exchange Program is a voluntary program designed to ensure
that our children are safe and that any seat that may have experienced a severe crash is
taken out of the market.
There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged in a severe crash,
so the restraint should be destroyed as the crash may reduce the child restraints ability
to perform.
Since its inception in 2006, the Crash Exchange program has helped 100’s of families
ensure that their children have new restraints and that the restraints are not sold second
hand placing others at risk.
Our Crash Exchange Terms and Application form are accessible on our website. Please
visit www.britax.com.au for further information.
